Hello all, l am looking for any german connections to the name Kirstenfeldts,Szepanowski,Wassmund, riethmuller or reithmuller, Voll, Hess and a few more.

As far as can be ascertained all the Kirstenfeldts in Australia descended from Ernest August Kirstenpfad. He was born to Johann George Kirstenpfad and his wife Katherine, nee Turk of Wasungen on the Werra River in the small Saxon principality of Sachsen-Meiningen.
Ernest August arrived from Germany on the "Grasbrook" at Harvey Bay Queensland Australia on the 28th Sept 1861 and was followed by his younger brother Christof on the "ceasar Godeffroy" into Moreton Bay on the 24th March 1863. His arrival is the only mention of Christof that has been found in Australia to date. What happened to him is unknown.
On the 17th July 1862 in Brisbane, Ernest August married Henrietta Dorothea Caroline Wassmund who had migrated from Prussia. Little of Henrietta is known.

Any information on Henrietta or this branch of the family is very welcomed.

Thanking you all for your time, Linda.
