- Notes: The Schwerdtmann side of the family was my initial interest in researching my mothers family history. Christian Schwerdtmann who arrived in Australia in 1880 and married Grace Noble has been the hardest to research. I paid Beyond History in Germany to identify his birth details. Due to war damage records are not intact. However his christening records and those of his siblings were found and the details forwarded to me. Also his mothers death record. The Great Exhibition in Sydney may have been the catalyst for Christian to come to Australia. What his exact role was is unclear.
I had contact with the Geisse family who are descendants of one of Christians sisters who married a Baron. I have also traced a brother to Oregon in the US. Cesar Schwerdtmann was a Carpenter and built up a Lumber business in Portland Oregon. From Newspaper clippings it seems he was a successful businessman.I have traced the burial details of his children. The family name seems to have disappeared about the time of WW2.
