Hello Warren,
I believe we may have a connection here. I am tracing Julius, as I stated. My husband, also Warren by the way, is a descendant of Julius' son Paul.
I have always believed Julius and Johann to be related as the Post Office directories of 1901, 1903 and 1904 have them listed together as farmers at Lowood, Qld. This directory lists the names as Johann and Julius so the full name for Johann was used in these listings.
Unfortunately I have not been able to research beyond their arrival into Australia but hope soon to have the time to tackle this.
Paul Jaenke was listed as born in Falkenburg, Pommera, Prussia. Julius Jaenke is from Zeinecke, Pommern, Prussia.
Please contact me directly at my email address if you think we can combine our information or just chat in general. I am at [email protected]
Regards
Gillian
