Correspondence 11/25/01 passenger #508 Schwientek
This is a photo of my uncle Heinz Uwe Schwientek who sailed to 
Australia on the SS Nelly (MS Nelly?) in 1952.

I am desperately seeking details of my parents (I was orphaned when I 
was 7 years old), who I believed followed my uncle to Australia, 
shortly after his arrival.
Details are -
Walter Schwientek (Würbitz, Germany)
Anita Schwientek (nee Swarat) (Altona, Hamburg, Germany)
Monika Schwientek (child) (Hamburg Germany).
FYI Heinz Uwe Schwientek is now back in Germany.
Manfred Schwientek, Tasmania Australia


Correspondence 06/14/2004 passenger #560 & 561 Starosta
Ernst was my father and was born on the 10th of April 1926 and so was 
actually 26 when he immigrated with his brother Walter to Tasmania to 
work for the Hydro.
Ernst died in 1994 in Tasmania, a place he really loved and which had 
allowed him to achieve his dream of having a future with a family and 
owning his own farm.  Walter returned to live in Germany.

Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild
It is believed that this transcription only lists those who disembarked in Fremantle, 
since the ship carried hundreds more passengers. 
The source was most likely the records in the National Archives of Australia's Perth collection.

       Here are more links to help in your search for passengers to Australia:
