This substantial genealogical volume traces the legacy of Johann Friedrich and Johanne Eleonore Munchenberg, who emigrated to Australia in 1839. Compiled to commemorate 150 years of Munchenberg family settlement, Eleonore's Decision – Our Heritage documents six generations of descendants across South Australia and beyond. With over 500 pages of biographical entries, family trees, historical maps, facsimiles, and portraits, this is a definitive account of one family’s journey from Germany to the Australian colonies and their integral role in shaping local communities.

Painstakingly compiled by Reginald Schilling Munchenberg and the Munchenberg Reunion Committee, this is both a personal family archive and a broader social history of German-Australian settlement.

A rare and detailed genealogical resource, perfect for family historians, researchers of German migration to Australia, and those with ancestral ties to South Australia's Barossa and Truro regions. This heirloom-quality publication is a testament to the power of preserving heritage across generations.
