    • ORIGINS.

      The origins of Franz Frederick Heinrich BARKHAHN, or Franz Henry Berkahn as he was known in New Zealand, took some time to be discovered. His great-grandson, Mr Neville Berkahn, undertook research reported on this site to trace his origins. As can be seen on the death registration and probate documents for Franz Henry, he was reported to have been born in Denmark before marrying and immigrating to New Zealand in 1873/74. The Danish church register recording his marriage indicated he was born in Badekow, Mecklenburg-Schwerin (now Germany). His baptism records were then located from Gresse, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, about 1.2 km west of Badekow. A complication when searching for records was that the surname was spelt in various ways by those transcribing the hand-written church and shipping record.

      A separate webpage, 1873 Voyage to NZ of Queen of North, gives some details about the ship which transported the Berkahn family to New Zealand.

      OBITUARY.

      Another of New Zealand's pioneer settlers in the person of Mr Franz Henry Berkahn passed peacefully away at the residence of his son, Mr W. F. H. Berkahn, at Tipapakuku, on Sunday afternoon. The late Mr Berkahn, who was 84 years of age, and a native of Denmark, arrived in New Zealand in the old sailing vessel Queen of the North, 43 years ago next February. He went on the Elsthorpe estate with the late Mr John Buchanan, and when the Makeretu estate was subdivided took up a section and resided there for about 33 years.
