Christoph Johann Theodor NIEMANN
I have recently started researching the German line of my family tree and was delighted to find the Niemann Family Forum. My great grandfather was Christoph Johann Theodor Niemann(b 11 Jun 1863 Barth Germany) and I have only a small amount of info about him. He came to Australia on 15 Nov 1881 from New York USA and became an Australian citizen in 1908. Sometime between these dates he changed his name to Charles (Carl) Newman. I have discovered a little more from this web site and found there are many relatives descended from Christoph's siblings in the USA. I would be grateful for any info that could head me in the right direction. I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Jody.
