One of the many branches of my family tree includes several members of the Rahmann family. As I have very little information on these - or any other - members of the Rahmann family, I’m extremely keen to find out more.

The little information I have is :
- The majority of family members (at least in recent generations) seem to have lived around Hamburg, Germany.
- A number of these migrated to Australia - particularly around Nundah, Queensland.
- Some also migrated to northern Chile.
- The origins of the surname itself are discussed here.
In my own family tree, I am currently aware of the following people :
- Victor Arthur Orlando Rahmann
- Victor Rahmann
- Marjorie Rahmann
- Gladys Myrtle Rahmann
Does anyone have any information on these, or other members of the Rahmann family?

It's always interesting when an outsider analyses your culture - no matter where you're from. Scott Sonnon takes a brief look at the Australian concept of 'mateship', and how that influences movement patterns. Definitely something to think about.
The Fight Geek has just posted a series of free workout timers [.mp4, 13.4mb] - ranging from 30secs to 5 minutes. And yes, that's an Australian accent (a bonus, if you ask me).
