Johann Gottlob was born 7th October 1782 in Lampersdorf, Reichenbach, Silesia, Prussia. Maria Elisabeth was born in Weigelsforf, Silesia. Both died in Light Pass, South Australia - Johann in 1864, and Maria in 1860.
Their son Johann Carl Gottlob HABERECHT had emigrated to Australia in 1848, settling first in the Barossa Valley in South Australia, then later travelling overland to the Jindera area of southern New South Wales.
Another son, Ernst Wilhelm HABERECHT, had died in Prussia in about 1867. His widow and most of his children eventually went to Australia as well, but settled in Queensland, establishing the Queensland branch of the Haberechts. Nothing was known of this branch by the other present day Australian Haberecht family members, until Glenda and Don Haberecht began researching the family history.
Glenda and Don Haberecht have now completed the huge task of organising family reunions in 2005 in Walla Walla NSW and Brisbane, as well as writing a Haberecht family history. Thanks Glenda and Don for all your work.
