INTRODUCTION
My
name is Bill McKie.
I
have elected to put the Buerckner Family Tree back on the Web after being granted permission from Craig Buerckner who
with his wife Jenny researched the Buerckner Family in Australia. They went to a lot of trouble getting all the information and
Craig and Jennie wrote a book on the family as well (Aussie Branches from Carl Wilhelm Buerckner to 2001, the History of the
Buerckner families) they also organized a Buerckner Reunion in Tungamah, Victoria in 2001, which was well attended.
I
am including stories that Craig wrote about some of the Buerckner’s as well, including stories of the Buerckner’s in WWI and
WWII so all the credit for the family tree and stories on this website must go to Craig and Jenny. A lot of Buerckner Descendants
contributed information and photos and gave these to Craig and Jenny so that the reunion and the book would be a success, which it
was.
I
am married to Susan Joy Buerckner, daughter of Frederick Buerckner and Josephine Dilia Doyle.
All the Buerckner’s in Australia are related.
Carl Wilhelm Buerckner was the first Buerckner to come to Australia, arriving at Port Phillip Bay on 16th
December 1849 on the ‘EMMY’. He was born in Crossen, Prussia. His parents were Carl August Ferdinand Buerckner, a Brick maker
in Germany and Frediereke Neuman. No more is known about Carl’s parents.
Carl
applied to become an Australian citizen on 18th January 1860. He needed this to be able to acquire land in the colony.
Three days later on 21st January 1860 Carl was accepted as an Australian citizen.
Carl
married Augusta Dorothea Sophia Krattz 0n 29th August 1859 at Waldau, Bulleen, Victoria. Augusta was born in Burow, Prussia,
Germany. She came out from Germany in about 1858 with her parents Frederick and Dorothea Krattz. They settled in Germantown where
Frederick was a farmer. On 5 May 1860, Augusta gave birth to their first child Augusta Maria. The following year their second
child Charles Wilhelm Buerckner was born, he only survived about 12 months. Augusta also died soon after.
Carl
then married Martha Parish 18 Months later in 1863 at Germantown. They had 12 children:
UNNAMED - (Stillborn)
Frederick Wilhelm
Charles Henry
Elizabeth Ann
Martha Louisa Margaret
Alice Victoria
August Ferdinand
Jane Emily
Albert Edward (Brum)
Edith May
Arthur Dennis (Dinnie)
Charlotte Ethel (Mattie)
The Family Tree is shown in the PAF format, which is the Personal Ancestral File program from the latter Day saints.
I
hope I haven’t made any mistakes in putting this tree back on the web, but you can bet there will be mistakes somewhere. If
anyone notices any mistakes or if they want any information added since this was done in 2001, please EMAIL
me with any corrections or new information.
Once again I thank Craig and Jennie for all the good work they did in compiling this Family Tree of the Descendants of Carl Wilhelm Buerckner, and for giving me permission to put it on my Website.
Stories will get added from time to time and will be able to be accessed from this page on the Buerckner Stories link below. If you have any stories you would like put on here please email to me.
I have started a Buerckner Photo Album for Buerckner and all related families which can also be accessed from the Buerckner Photo Album link below. If you have a photo you would like to be put on the site please email a copy to me.
I have received a lot of updates and corrections for the Buerckner Family Tree and I would like to thank you all for the information you have all provided. I am not going to name everyone because I will probably leave someone out. Please keep the information coming. Thank you!
If you wish to send information or photos by mail please email me first and I will give you my postal address.
Parkes NSW If anyone has photos or information that can't be emailed please contact me and I will give you my postal address
Australia so they can be mailed to me.
