Welcome to 2025 and Happy New Year. 170 years ago the Boller family from Reicholzheim were around 7 weeks into the journey to Twofold Bay. Cholera had already broken out on board. Perhaps Maria Luise and Helena had already died from disease by January 1855. No records were kept on when passengers on this ship died but some details are in family journals.
January birthdays include -
Ronald Craig Boller
Wendy Sue McGinnes (let me know if the spelling is incorrect)
Damian Burgess
Carolyn Burgess
Clement Ernest Boller b. 1885
Melissa Johnson
Robert Bruce Delamere
Taylor Boller
Geoffrey Boller
Fran Hutt
Richard McGinnes
Aiden Rice
Matthew Burgess

Deaths include-
Mary Agnes Boller b. 1951

If I have missed the January birthday of a member of your family, please let me know.

There have been one or two suggestions about a 2025 Reunion. The last one at Candelo organized by Fran, Wayne, Carmel, Angie, Cheryl (and many others I am not aware of!) was a roaring success.

PS If you have had a photo taken with the new plaque in the Candelo Cemetery, please consider sending a copy to Sister Beatrice (aka Dulcie Boller) . I do not have her new address but I will find out.

Hello Bollers!! + all the associated family names as well. A couple of bits of news before I get to the birthdays.
(1) The $1,370 needed to pay for the memorial plaque for Georg Caspar, Helena Luise and Maria Luise has been received. Exact to the last dollar! Thank you to all those who contributed. A special mention to the 5 Jack Boller girls originally from "Parkview" Mogilla who contributed $250. Other individuals threw in $100. Fantastic response. If you were thinking of contributing and had not yet got around to it, perhaps send the $50 to your favourite cause (or wait for the next restoration project. We found Mary Agnes Bollers headstone at Candelo very difficult to read. Maybe we could get a quote for that project?
(2) The Frank Boller (1922-2008) branch had a wonderful celebration in Eden on Friday 15th November when Franks Grandson James Boller married Taylor Browne at the Seahorse Inn, Eden. James and Taylor chose Eden because of its huge historical importance as the site of the landing from the "Caesar" in March 1855 after the passengers spent 8 days waiting in Quarantine Bay.
