Four, or possibly three, two or one, Amsberg families occur in the City of Adelaide during the 19th century:
There were a number of Amsberg migrants to South Australia, who appear to be part of a single Jewish family:


* Benjamin Amsberg family
* Benjamin-Bernard Amsberg with Rose and Frederica
* Julius Michael Amsberg family
* Julius Michael Amsberg  
*Gabriel Gustavus Marcus Amsberg
*Gabriel Gustavus Marcus Amsberg
* Bernhard Amsberg family


Benjamin and Julius Michael are related at least by marriage, with Julius Michael marrying Frederica Amsberg, the daughter of Benjamin. Benjamin also had a brother Julius in Hamburg so it is possible that Julius Michael was a nephew or cousin of Benjamin. Bernhard may be a son of Benjamin. There is a level of confusion between Benjamin and Bernhard as both list themselves in business and personally as B. Amsberg. A B. Amsberg left for London in 1851 with his sister, but returned almost immediately. Benjamin Amsberg appears in news reports until 1854. All were members of the Adelaide Hebrew Congregation, with Bernhard, Julius Michael, Frederica and Gabriel Gustavus Marcus buried in the Jewish Section of Adelaide's West Terrace Cemetery. Both Gabriel Gustavus Marcus and Bernard list Malchin, Mecklenburg-Schwerin as their place of origin on their naturalisations, while Benjamin and Julius Michael do not have naturalisation records.
A major confusion is the dual naming of Benjamin/Bernhard Amsberg. Benjamin appears on the newspaper passenger list of the [[Victoria (barque)|Victoria]] in 1848 with a Rose and a Frederica. Benjamin continues to appear in newspaper reports until 1854. This is the same period that B. Amsberg is appointed the Consul for Hamburg and Mecklenburg, a role that is later identified as filled by Bernhard Amsberg. A B Amsberg and his sister return to Europe a few weeks after the wedding of Frederica to Julius Michael Amsberg in 1851. A Bernhard Amsberg returns to South Australia on the [[Alfred (barque)|Alfred]] in 1852, and a journal by his fellow passenger, Joseph Tuppeimer, identifies him as Bernhard-Benjamin. No death registrations appear for Benjamin or Rose, whereas Bernhard, Julius Michael, Frederica and Gabriel Gustavus Marcus buried in the Jewish Section of Adelaide's West Terrace Cemetery. All were members of the Adelaide Hebrew Congregation. Both Gabriel Gustavus Marcus and Bernard list Malchin, Mecklenburg-Schwerin as their place of origin on their naturalisations, while Benjamin and Julius Michael do not have naturalisation records, although Julius Michael's birthplace is listed as Hamburg in the Hamburg passenger records.

There were a number of Amsberg migrants to South Australia, who appear to be part of a single Jewish family:

  • Benjamin-Bernard Amsberg with Rose and Frederica
  • Julius Michael Amsberg
  • Gabriel Gustavus Marcus Amsberg

A major confusion is the dual naming of Benjamin/Bernhard Amsberg. Benjamin appears on the newspaper passenger list of the Victoria in 1848 with a Rose and a Frederica. Benjamin continues to appear in newspaper reports until 1854. This is the same period that B. Amsberg is appointed the Consul for Hamburg and Mecklenburg, a role that is later identified as filled by Bernhard Amsberg. A B Amsberg and his sister return to Europe a few weeks after the wedding of Frederica to Julius Michael Amsberg in 1851. A Bernhard Amsberg returns to South Australia on the Alfred in 1852, and a journal by his fellow passenger, Joseph Tuppeimer, identifies him as Bernhard-Benjamin. No death registrations appear for Benjamin or Rose, whereas Bernhard, Julius Michael, Frederica and Gabriel Gustavus Marcus buried in the Jewish Section of Adelaide's West Terrace Cemetery. All were members of the Adelaide Hebrew Congregation. Both Gabriel Gustavus Marcus and Bernard list Malchin, Mecklenburg-Schwerin as their place of origin on their naturalisations, while Benjamin and Julius Michael do not have naturalisation records, although Julius Michael's birthplace is listed as Hamburg in the Hamburg passenger records.

Julius Michael lists his father as Michael/ Yeche-Eil, and an early court case for Benjamin lists a brother Julius residing in Hamburg and who continues to act as an agent for B. Amsberg & Co.

Benjamin-Bernhard Amsberg 1827-1902 - arrived with his sisters Rose and Frederica aboard the Victoria in 1848. Rose returned to Europe after her sister's wedding in April 1851. Bernhard accompanied her and returned to South Australia aboard the Alfred in 1853.
