Scott Bird's Family Tree

Seeking information on Rahmanns

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?

First Time Here? Try These.

watching : Who Do You Think You Are?

I absolutely love this show.

Following well-known people as they trace their own family histories, Who Do You Think You Are? provides a perfect look at how fascinating this type of research can be. And more practically, it demonstrates precisely how to trace your own family tree.

Fantastic program.
