Here is the Family Search starting at the younger Friedrick Wilhelm Koberstein Here is the information I have on this line so far: Wilhelm Koberstein immigrated to New Zealand aboard the "Fritz Reuter" departing Hamburg April 11, 1876. This family was from Guben in Prussia. Here is a very interesting history of the arrival of the Fritz Reuter".

Here is a biography of the Koberstein family in New Zealand. We are fortunate that the newspaper archive for the “Feilding Star” has been digitized and indexed and provides an excellent insight into the day to day life of this family. The time covered starts January 1, 1882 (about 5 years after their arrival) and continues to January 1, 1920. This and other information is included here. Just scroll down to read.
