The Catharina was charted to carry Evangelical Lutherans from Klemzig in the Prussian province of Brandenburg. Approximately 70% of the passengers emigrated from the province of Posen, the majority from Chlastawe (Chlastawa) 16 km NNE of Klemzig. within 15km of Klemzig. Roughly 20% emigrated from near Seiffersdorf (Radwanow) 40 km SW of Klemzig in the province of Silesia.

The big trap for immigrants ships to SA between 1836 and 1842 is that the passengers in steerage were not individually named in the ship's manifest. All the passenger lists available have been reconstructed by different researchers from newspaper reports and family histories. They are mostly copies of each other but sometimes a correction is made to one list and not the others.
I've followed the lead set by Anon Dienelt who created free space pages for the Zebra (Arrived 1839) and Skjold (Arrived 1841). We are related and share the same interest in cross-linking the early Lutheran Prussian families. There are many spelling variations of German surnames; also there are many variations of forenames and sometimes they were Anglicised later in life. By starting with the passenger lists I've been able to link down to several existing Wikitree profiles with different name spelling. Different contributors have now added to the list https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Prussian_Immigrant_Ships_to_South_Australia , which contains links to both the free space pages and categories.
