Correspondence added 8-30-2006, Passenger 10, Vahlbruch

I found Carlos (Karl) VAHLBRUCH in your list of Immigrant Ships.
(Passenger #10) 

I don´t know a lot about Karl VAHLBRUCH, but he is a brother of
Johann Friedrich Theodor Otto VAHLBRUCH,
        *22.12.1842 in 31863 Coppenbrügge-Brünnighausen
        Father: Ernst Friedrich VAHLBRUCH (teacher)
        Mother: Auguste DRALLE
        +28.03.1896 in Hamburg Germany

Both, Karl and Otto VAHLBRUCH where Chemists and both lived in
Valencia, Venezuela.

Karl as well Otto VAHLBRUCH belong to my family. Their father
as well as my came from the village: Salzhemmendorf
near Hameln, Niedersachsen (former Kingdom of Hannover).

Otto VAHLBRUCH made a Testament which i have:

"Ich, der unterzeichnete Johann Friedrich Theodor Otto
Vahlbruch, finde mich veranlasst, mein Ende Mai 1886
in Valencia/Venezuela errichtetes Testament in allen
seinen Bestimmungen hiermit wieder aufzuheben und
in aller Form Rechtens zu cassieren. Anstelle dessen
verfüge ich in dem nachstehenden, in Hamburg, meinem
jeztigen Domicil, nach hamburgischen Rechtsnormen
errichteten Testamente, was folgt:
§1
Ich schicke voraus, daß ich, da ich unverheiratet bin,
auch meine Eltern verstorben sind und meine nächsten
Verwandten, ein Bruder Karl Vahlbruch in Valencia, Venezuela
und zwei Schwestern Bernhardine Lamo Wwe. und Emma Vahlbruch,
sind, über meinen Nachlas frei verfügenkann.
§2
Mein Bruder Karl in Valenzia befindet sich in guten
Vermögensverhältnissen ..."

Shorttranslation:
There is a brother Karl who lives in Valentia/Venezuela
and he lives in good conditions.

I don't know where and when Karl VAHLBRUCH was born and died.
I think he died in Venezuela but I don´t know.

I´m looking for all VAHLBRUCH all over the world.
Please put my name and my mail address to anybody who may
want it.  klaus-vahlburch@t-online.de
