This is just so that all your information is accurate:
Just like the U.S. and Australia, Germany, too, has always been made up of STATES. Carl and Friedrich Herweg were from what was until 1945 the very small German state of BRUNSWICK. The state's correct German name was BRAUNSCHWEIG. Its capital was the city of Brunswick (in German: Braunschweig).
Following World War II and the break-up of the vast German state of PRUSSIA (in German: Preussen; capital: Berlin) by the Allies, the Prussian province of Hanover (in German: Hannover), the state of Oldenburg, and the two very small states of Brunswick (in German: Braunschweig) and Schaumburg-Lippe combined to form today's new postwar German state of LOWER SAXONY (in German: NIEDERSACHSEN), with the city of HANOVER (in German: HANNOVER) as its capital. The former state of Brunswick is thus one of the four components of today's German state of Lower Saxony.
There is no such surname in Germany as "Muller", and there is no such surname in Germany as "Miiller"! The correct surname is MÜLLER -- or if written without the "Umlaut" (two dots) over the "U", MUELLER. Just as Smith is the most common surname in the English-speaking countries, Müller (Mueller) is the most common surname in Germany.
You mention that the Müller (Mueller) family came to Australia aboard the "Wilhelmsberg". What year was that?
