A large compiled personal genealogy of South Australian Barossa German Lutheran families, published as family group sheets. COMPILED, therefore quality 1: it cites no underlying registers and is a lead, not proof. It is nonetheless demonstrably precise on dates — two of its entries were checked against real headstone transcriptions in the Australian Cemeteries Index this session and matched exactly. The host answers about half of all requests with a bare 403 regardless of User-Agent; retrying two to four times gets through.
The father's immigration line; the mother's reads "age: 27" and the daughter's own sheet "age: 2", all on the same date and ship, so the family travelled together. NO PORT IS NAMED and no place is recorded. THE MANIFEST ITSELF WAS NOT SEEN — the South Australian maritime passenger database has moved and no working public search endpoint was found, so the ship's list should be checked on Ancestry or FamilySearch before this is treated as more than a compiled claim. Her brother Johann Traugott's own sheet gives his birth as 29 Jul 1844 aboard the George Washington, i.e. at sea six weeks before landfall.
STILLER, Johann Samuel | b. 18 May 1804, Nissmenau, Saxony | im. 12 Sep 1844, 'George Washington', age: 40 | d. 17 Feb 1884, Langmeil, SA, age: 79 || SCHRAPEL, Johanne Karoline | b. 28 Jul 1817, Freidersdorf, Prussia | im. 12 Sep 1844, 'George Washington', age: 27 | d. 21 Apr 1851, age: 33 || m. ca 1830
The parents' group sheet, fetched 2026-09-05; the two spouses' columns are quoted side by side, separated by ||. Father born in the same village as his daughter. HER DEATH DATE OF 21 APRIL 1851 IS WHAT MAKES THE DAUGHTER'S RECORDED 1851 BIRTH IMPOSSIBLE. The sheet dates the marriage only as "ca 1830", so the family start date is ABT 1830 and no marriage event is created. It also names the maternal grandparents, Johann Gottlieb Schrapel (1793-1873) and Maria Dorothea Scheffler (1784-1851), who are NOT created here — one compiled generation at a time. Places: Langmeil is the Lutheran centre at Tanunda, South Australia; Freidersdorf is in Prussia. Neither is added as a place row, so the parents carry no death or birth place beyond the father's Nissmenau.
STILLER, Johanne Christiane | b. 9 Nov 1841, Nissmenau, Saxony | im. 12 Sep 1844, 'George Washington', age: 2 | d. 20 Jun 1914, Pine Creek, SA, age: 72 | br. Pine Creek Lutheran Cemetery, Appila, SA
Her column of the marriage group sheet, fetched 2026-09-05. THE CORRECTION: the tree had 9 NOV 1851, which is impossible because her mother Johanne Karoline Schrapel died 21 April 1851. The day and month are unchanged; only the year moves. Three further internal checks agree — age 2 at immigration in September 1844, age 72 at death in June 1914, and her husband's birth and death dates on this same sheet (10 Dec 1841, 9 Feb 1934) match the tree's existing #55424 record to the day, which is what shows the sheet is about the right family. It also gives her burial as Pine Creek Lutheran Cemetery, Appila, and her death place as Pine Creek rather than the tree's Appila; neither is changed here, both being quality-1 detail from the same compiled source.
Children: STILLER, Johann Gottlieb(14 Apr 1839 - 19 Aug 1900); STILLER, Johanne Christiane(9 Nov 1841 - 20 Jun 1914); STILLER, Johann Traugott(29 Jul 1844 - 21 Jun 1920); STILLER, Johanne Ernestine(22 Oct 1846 - 16 May 1880); STILLER, Maria Elisabeth(1848 - 1850) [Died as Child]
The children block quoted whole, so the whole sibling set is read together rather than one name lifted out of it; it is the evidence for all four new siblings, not only this one. Johann Traugott was born at sea on the George Washington on 29 July 1844, six weeks before the family landed. Maria Elisabeth died as a child, aged about two. The tree's Johanne Christiane is the second child.
Her entry in the children block of the compiled family group sheet — the seventh child, and the only one of the seven the tree did not hold. Compiled, hence quality 1, and her dates rest on it alone: her 1967 death is past the end of Trove's newspaper digitisation and no cemetery index reaches Pine Creek Lutheran, Appila. The sheet has been shown accurate elsewhere in this family, most tellingly on the 1850 emigration ship, which her father's obituary independently confirms.
