Looking for family in Germany
My name is John Ryan Raedler, born in Australia in 1948.My father was Ernest William Raedler, born in Australia in 1911. His father was Richard Raedler, born in Germany (don't know year).Richard Raedler went to Australia as a young man and married there but died soon after his son's birth and the Australian family soon lost touch with Richard's family in Germany.I believe Richard had a brother named Otto in Germany.I also believe Richard's father was a marine engineer who had spent some time in Australia developing a shipping port.As my two brothers (Damian and Shane) and I grow older we become more curious about the German side of our heritage.Anyone with any info please e-mail me at
Thank you.
