August Friedrich Wilhelm Berg | Birth | 17/10/1877 | Reference 1877/C/1732 | Father: Christian Friedrich Wilhelm Erdhan Berg | Mother: Christine Wilhelmine Klatt
Queensland historical BDM index row (Name | Event | Date | Reference | Father | Mother), retrieved 2026-09-17 via genealogy-cli qld-bdm, re-verified verbatim by skeptic pass. Father's full name, including the distinctive third given name 'Erdhan', matches person 21913's own recorded alternate name exactly — independent confirmation (a government register, not the uncited Ancestry Public Member Tree that was family 6667's only prior citation) that Christian [Friedrich] Wilhelm Erdhan Berg is genuinely Friederike Klatt's husband.
Friederike Wilhelmine Berg | Birth | 16/11/1867 | Reference 1867/C/1624 | Father: Friedrich Wilhelm Berg | Mother: Friederika Wilhelmine Klatt
Corroborates the couple ten years before the 1877 registration. Father given here as 'Friedrich Wilhelm Berg' without 'Christian' — consistent with a man carrying several given names being indexed under different components on different registrations.
Anna Maria Braun Birth 28/12/1894 Auguste Friedericka Elizabeth Braun 1895/C/7230
Documents the shape of this family: one child, no father recorded. She later had a separate family (fam 4113) with August Wilhelm Billiau, whose children start 10 years later in 1904 — this birth precedes that union.
Charles Landford married Lily Baker, 06/03/1907. Reference 1907/B/5333
Queensland marriage index. Confirms the exact date the tree already holds. The bride is indexed under her first married surname Baker, not her maiden name Lawrence - she is the widow of Albert Ernest Baker (married 1887).
Helene Elizabeth Braun Birth 08/01/1892 Auguste Friedricke Elizabeth Braun 1892/C/9044
QLD BDM historical birth index, columns Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference. The Father column is BLANK. The only child of this family, matching on given name and year. The mother is given as 'Auguste Friedricke Elizabeth Braun'; the tree holds her as 'Auguste Friedricke' with no surname.
Helene Elizabeth Braun Birth 08/01/1892 Auguste Friedricke Elizabeth Braun 1892/C/9044
Father column blank. This is Helene Elizabeth Braun (#22182), tree birth year 1892, and the row gives her mother's name in full - which is how the surname Braun is recovered for a person who currently has a given name sitting in the surname slot.
George Wieting | Marriage | 20/04/1898 | Emma Elizabeth Hofmeister | 1898/C/1954
Queensland historical marriage index; fields in the order name | event | date | spouse | registration reference. The only marriage of this couple in the index; replaces the impossible 1865 date.
Mary Jane Elizabeth Gifford Birth 16/12/1875 Selena Sarah Gifford 1876/C/2510 | Thomas William Towers Gifford Birth 10/04/1877 Helena Sarah Gifford 1877/C/2853 | Mary Jane Gifford Birth 14/09/1878 Helena Sarah Gifford 1878/C/3010 | Charlotte Isabella Gifford Birth 23/08/1880 Helena Sarah Gifford 1880/C/3417
QLD BDM historical birth index, columns Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference; rows separated by a pipe. The Father column is BLANK in every row. All four children of this family are present. The first row transcribes the mother as 'Selena' rather than 'Helena'.
Auguste Otto | Birth | 13/09/1891 | 1891/C/9858 | Father: Friedrich Carl Franz Otto | Mother: Emilie Dahins
Queensland BDM historical index birth-search row (columns: name, event, date, registration reference, father, mother) for Augusta Otto's birth. 'Dahins' is almost certainly a transcription of 'Dahms'. The mother named cannot be the tree's Emelie Augusta Dahms (23826), who is independently proven (via her own birth registration, ref 1885/C/7009) to have been born 13 Sep 1885 — 6 years old in September 1891. Wife slot cleared as an unresolved namesake conflation; no other Emilie/Emilie Dahms exists yet in the tree to re-point to.
Friedrich Carl Franz Otto | Marriage | 24/08/1887 | 1887/C/855 | Spouse: Emilie Dahms
Queensland BDM historical index marriage-search row (columns: name, event, date, registration reference, spouse). Identifies Friedrich Carl Franz Otto's wife as Emilie Dahms, married 1887 — 4 years before Augusta Otto's 1891 birth. Marriage rows do not carry parents or ages. Re-verified verbatim this session.
Name: Friederick Carl Franz Otto; Event: Death; Date: 16/10/1925; Reference: 1925/C/4816; Father: Carl Otto; Mother: Augusta Gigler
Matches tree's eldest child Friederick Otto, died 16 Oct 1925 (exact date match); confirms father Carl Otto independently via a second registration type.
Cecil Robert Coulson Birth 24/04/1902 Margaret Brown Coulson 1902/C/1808
Documents the shape of this family: one child, no father recorded. She married Herbert Jonathan James Pickering in 1905, three years after this birth — Cecil belongs to this single-mother family, not the later marriage.
Queensland historical birth index, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. The birth date matches Caroline Ethel Solway (#20198) exactly and the father matches John Solway (#24199), so the mother named in the same row is this family's missing wife. Surname recorded as transcribed, hyphenated; no Solway/Morrison-Gordon marriage is in the Queensland index, so unionType is left unknown.
Dorothea Wilhelmine Reinke Birth 12/12/1881 Wilhelmine Christine Reinke 1882/C/1967 | Christina Mary Reinke Birth 25/12/1883 Wilhelmine Christine Reinke 1884/C/2441 | George Carrol Reinke Birth 12/10/1888 Wilhelmine Christine Reinke 1888/C/2680
QLD BDM historical birth index, columns Name / Event / Date / Father / Mother / Reference; rows separated by a pipe. The Father column is BLANK in every row. All three children of this family are present; the tree's birth years 1882/1883/1888 reflect registration year rather than birth date for the first two.
"Carl August Frederick Herman Fleischfresser - died 15/07/1946 - father: Carl - mother: Auguste Ebert - 1946/C/4015"; "Otto Carl Herman Fleischfresser - died 31/03/1948 - father: Johann Carl Fredrich - mother: Augusta Charlotte Friedrike Ewert - 1948/C/1950"; "Bertha Marie Anna Fullekrug - died 30/07/1948 - father: Johann Carl Fleischfresser - mother: Augusta Friedricke Charlotte Evert - 1948/C/2963"; "Hermann George Fleischfresser - died 27/05/1954 - father: Carl - mother: Augusta Evatt - 1954/C/2171"
The older children (born 1872, 1873, 1877, 1879) are confirmed as hers by their own death registrations, so the child links are right and it is the mother's recorded birth of JAN 1866 that is wrong - she cannot have borne a child in 1872. The later children are confirmed by birth registration 1882-1892. Her birth year has been cleared rather than guessed. Her husband Johann Carl Frederick Fleischfresser (25802) carries a birth year of 1858 that is impossible for the same reason and needs the same treatment.
Ernestine Friedericke Wilhelmine Krause | Death | 14/12/1912 | Christian Fester | Ernestine Kohn | 1912/B/16917
Death registration of the couple's daughter Ernestine Friedericke Wilhelmine Fester (m. Krause), #26047, matching her tree death date (14 DEC 1912) exactly. Names both her parents: father Christian Fester (newly identified, linked here) and mother Ernestine Kohn, an exact match to the tree's existing #26049.
Franz Carl Krause Death 17/10/1922 August Friderick Krause Doroteha Eggard 1922/B/38309
Queensland historical death index, columns Name | Event | Date | Father | Mother | Reference. Evidence that Franz Carl Krause (#26046), currently held in the separate family 7951, is the child of this couple: the death date matches his tree date of 17 OCT 1922 exactly and the row names both parents, matching #26065 and #26066.
Samuel Simeon Hartwig | Marriage | 28/12/1904 | 1905/C/1143 | Spouse: Lucia Cecilia Polzin
QLD historical BDM index; registered the year after the marriage (common for a Dec wedding). Sets the precise date on the family and the MARR event, replacing the bare '1904' on both.
Frederika Augustina Veit Death 09/04/1863 Leonard Veit Christina Schriver 1863/C/731
Establishes Leonard Veit + Christina Schreiber/Schriver as an existing couple with children from at least 1859, well before the 1864-born infant could have fathered anyone.
Name: William Albert Dau | Event: Death | Date: 05/11/1954 | Reference: 1954/C/5041 | Father: Albert Wilhelm Dau | Mother: Friederike Ebert
QLD death index row for this family's eldest recorded child (person 27955); names his own father as Albert Wilhelm Dau (a name-order variant of William Albert Dau), mother Friederike Ebert.
Name: William Albert Dau | Event: Birth | Date: 13/03/1886 | Reference: 1886/C/6251 | Father: Albert Dau | Mother: Fredericka Ebert
QLD birth index row for this family's child William Albert Dau (person 27955), naming father Albert Dau and mother Fredericka Ebert -- the family's recorded wife, exactly.
Name: Carl William Henry Dau | Event: Birth | Date: 21/12/1883 | Reference: 1884/C/5313 | Father: William Albert Dau | Mother: Fredericke Ebert
QLD birth index row for this family's eldest child Carl William Henry Dau (person 27960), naming father William Albert Dau and mother Fredericke Ebert. The event date (21/12/1883) is a year earlier than the registration-number year (1884) -- a late-December birth registered early the next year -- and disagrees with the person's previously recorded birth date of 21 DEC 1884; see the paired person.update.
Walter James Robson | Marriage | 26/07/1894 | Wilhelmine Auguste Kuhz | 1894/C/680
Replaces the weak Ancestry compiled-tree pointer already on this family with a primary QLD BDM marriage registration; date matches the family's recorded 26 Jul 1894 exactly.
Martha Grace Vogt | Birth | 19/01/1884 | 1884/B/31709 | Father: William Henry Vogt | Mother: Helena Butcher
First of three QLD birth registrations naming both parents of this family; proves the union (no QLD marriage registration was found -- see proposal note).
Johan Emil Scholz married Louisa Annie Zuck, 26/10/1910, 1910/C/964. Children registered to Johann Emil Scholz and Louisa Annie Zuch: John Carl Edward 21/01/1911 (1911/C/3958), David Arnold August 05/07/1913 (1913/C/4798), Archibald James William 17/06/1915 (1915/C/9358).
Gives the exact marriage date for the year already held, and confirms all three child links, so only the father's death date was wrong.
Victor Naumann married Lena Langsdorf, 25/10/1923. Reference 1923/C/3411
Queensland marriage index. Confirms the marriage and gives the exact date. RESOLVED: identified as Victor Naumann b. 5 FEB 1893 (d. 1927), son of John Henry Naumann & Wilhelmine Stenzel — not the unrelated Victor Naumann b. 1914 who was previously placed in this husband slot with no supporting evidence.
Herbert Wotton married Margaret Lillian Casey, 08/04/1901, 1901/B/967. Their five children are registered to them on the exact dates the tree holds: Patrick John 09/01/1902 (1902/B/4276), Mary Elizabeth 07/08/1904 (1904/B/8895), Herbert Samuel 28/10/1909 (1909/B/21092), Sydney Gotha 11/10/1911 (1911/B/26961), Margaret Lillian 11/12/1913 (1913/B/34424).
Supplies the missing marriage date and confirms every child link.
