Some trees online cite John Michael and Mathilde Fels as Laurenz Michael's parents. Laurenz was born in 1843. John and Mathilde were not married till 1863. Mathilde was born in 1831. They were married in Australia, whereas Laurenz applied for naturalisation in 1895, saying he came from Europe and had been in Australia for 29 years. That means he would have arrived c. 1866. John/Johan came to Australia in 1848 from East Bohemia. Laurenz came from Silesia or Germany. I do not see how John/Johan could be "Alssoes".
