Hi Susan,
My name is Mirk Smith and I am researching the Mirk family. Several of Agnes Mirk's sisters and a brother arrived in Victoria, Aus, married and had families.
Agnes Mirk arrived in Vic, Aus on the ship "Black Eagle" in 1854 aged 18 years.
Agnes Mirk married Francisco Joaquim Miniz in 1859 in Ballarat, Vic, Aus. They had 9 children which are listed below. Agnes Mirk already had 2 small children when they married. They had the surname Humphries. They were raised in the Muniz home.
Still haven't found the ship Francis Muniz arrived on.
I hope the following helps;
