My great grandmother’s 1845
This attached article was prepared by for the Wednesday 3 December 2025 1845 Retrospective Lunch Meeting of The Pioneers’ Association of South Australia Inc.
My presentation covered the 1845 year of my great grandmother, Johanne Louise Bradtke, who started the year in a hop-growing village in Posen in Prussia (now in Poland) and finished on the other side of the world in a pioneer village in South Australia. In between was almost 5 months at sea in a ship in cramped conditions.
