Straszewo Parish

I am looking for any availbale resouces and research aids or links to help with my research for my ancestors in the Straszewo Parish. My Great-Grandfather listed Straszewo, Aleksandrow as the area in Poland where he was baptized in 1890. I have ordered the Straszewo Parish baptism records at the local LDS center. Does the LDS contain the only information available for this area of Poland? Also are there any websites that contain the local history? Please help.

Groß Plowenz Kreis Strasburg now Płowęź Kujawsko-Pomorskie

tejkowski — 30 May 2006 11:18:45 GMT

Searching for marriage records ca 1878, death records ca. 1877 and ca. 1887 for Klein-Rehwalde (Rywaldzik) Kreis Löbau Westpreußen. Roman Catholic parish was Groß Plowenz (Płowęź) Kreis Strasburg. FHL has generally good coverage for the parish, but there are gaps in the coverage for the records in question. Several authoritative sources (Brandt, Stanke) as well as numerous web sites likewise do not show these records. Presumably the parish registers don’t exist. Possibly the parish was inoperative during this time due to the Kulturkampf; many Catholic churches in Prussia were closed/without a priest. I’ve researched other Catholic parishes in the area, in every increasing circles to no avail. Where would Catholics likely be married during this time if their parish was closed? Can anyone suggest where I might find civil records covering these events?

My ggf Franciszek's father was named Jozef Mierzejewski. [He probably belonged to an old szlachta drobna farming family; I have his sabre.] Any information on these people or their families will be very deeply appreciated. Dziekuje!

Help with Modern Town Names Please!! Levan + Vusawa

AnnaClarkson — 26 Feb 2007 3:08:05 GMT

Hi guys, looking for help once again. I am good at a lot of things but not figuring out Polish town names. Any ideas would be appreciated.

2) Vusawa (?), Poland. Also in same area, Warsaw District of Poland. Here is the link to the original Ellis Island Manifest: http://ellisisland.org/search/shipManifest.asp?order_num=164...
Line 7 of Manifest - Passenger Name _ Maryanna Kopczynska.

Hidden Marriages Found for Cekcyn Parish LDS Microfilm 531639

prismlizard1 — 14 Oct 2007 2:17:49 GMT

Just an alert to additional marriage records not listed by LDS for microfilm #531639, Cekcyn Parish. Microfilm lists Akta urodzen(births)1835-1876 and Akta malzenstw(marriages) 1849-1909. Also on this microfilm are Cekcyn parish marriages 1830-1848. This parish ledger was microfilmed in reverse year order, 1848-1830, and upside down. You will need a computerized film reader in order to turn the frames properly. I just noticed these records at the local LDS library today. This unexpected find greatly enhanced my family research.

Barbara Kolodziej and Joseph Kurcz

frankjkurtz — 30 Jul 2007 5:36:50 GMT

Barbara Kolodziej (my paternal grandmother) immigrated to the US in 1907 (she gave her age as 17 but I know she was born in 1895 making her just 12 yo). On the ship's manifest she indicated she was from Cholemiane (may be Chelmoniec today). She traveled with another girl from Cholemiane and her name is Josefa Chrzaslek (spelling of this last name was hard to read on the manifest). Barbara married Joseph Kurcz in 1913, they had 6 children and she died in 1971 and is buried next to Joseph in St. Johns Cemetary in Bellevue, Nebraska. She lived in South Omaha.

Joseph Kurcz, my paternal grandfather, shows up on the 1920 and 1930 Census in Omaha and lived with Barbara and children at 2920 South 29 Street in South Omaha. Joseph was estranged from the family sometimes in the 1930's. He died in 1956. I can't find him on any Immigration records nor does he show as having ever registered for Social Security.

Any help wouold be appreciated.

Pankowska Teresa, born in Rypin

Joanna_Pankowska — 26 Jun 2007 2:38:38 GMT

Hi,

My grandfather Stefan Pankowski,born in Rypin around 1930 had a sister Teresa, born in Rypin around 1926. They had also three other sisters: Dana (she lived in USA,New York but died in Poland few years ago), Stefa and Urszula. Teresa went away from Poland with a German soldier about 1944 and my family has never heard of her anymore. As I know, my family was looking for her but with no results. My aunt, which died some time ago ones said, she is in Canada or Australia, but no one ever confirmed that. I have a family tree here so you can look there and maybe you'll find any mathes. As I found here on Ancestry.com there were few people with name Pankowski who were living in Rypin and went to USA. But I can't find any informations about them. If you'd have any questions or clues, please write me: mroovka2602@gmail.com. I'll be greatful!!!

ritagen1 — 18 Apr 2002 1:37:48 GMT

I am searching for anyone else researching the CIEZKI family. They were from a small village outside Szubin, named Lachowo Polskie. My gggrandfather was Jacob Ciezki-born 1824 @ Pinsk, my ggrandfather was Vincent Ciezki-born 1859 & married Marianna Pacala, my grandfather was Stanislaus Ciezki-born 1880. Vincent & family emigrated 1888. All baptisms,marriages,etc. probably took place at Catholic church in Szubin.

Kasper alias Cyranowski Ceranowski Seranowski Cyran

carafel — 16 May 2007 2:56:51 GMT

I've been reading over all the above lists and posts. While searching my grandmother's family KASPER/KASPROWICZ in the town of Szubin, I began to see that some of the Kaspers began to use the name Ceranowski (and other spellings) about 1835. In various birth, marriage, death records for Szubin, the name was often listed as "Kasper alias Ceranowski." It took me some time before it became apparent that when some Kasper lines just seemed to disappear, the individual had become Ceranowski (and other spellings)only. I have been able, therefore, to trace an individual through marriage and death by not looking for Kasper, but finding them as Ceranowski.

Ggrandfather was Valentin Kasper, born 20 Jan 1838 in Lachowo polski (near Szubin), d 1919 Camden NJ

Gggrandfather Adelbert Kasprowicz, born 15 Apr 1804 in Lachowo, married Marianna Cieczka 1832, d 1855 in Szubin.

Valentin's (my ggrandfather) siblings are

Joannes (b 1832, d 1836)
Michael (b 1835) married Catherina Grzegorek in 1862
Francisca (b 1840) married to Joannes Malechi in 1861
Michalina (b 1843) married Joannes Maslowski in 1871
Marianna (b 1846, d 1846)
Agnes (b 1848, d 1848)
Martianna (b 1850, married Alexander Oszuscik in 1874)

I would be interested to hear from other Ceranowski or Kasper searchers, especially from the Szubin area to see if we can find a common link.

Additionally, my family, unlike so many others, who settled in the Midwest, settled in the Philadelphia area.

Regards,
Carroll

Does anyone reading this have roots in the small village of Murczyn, Poland, located a short distance n.e. of the town of Znin? If so, it would be interesting to compare notes, as that's where my Switalas lived for multiple generations. With the village being as small as it is, odds are that we have some overlapping relatives.

Hoping to hear from some of you!

Erdman / Erdman / Petrowski / Petrowska

nadine — 10 Aug 2006 1:11:37 GMT

Edward Erdman came to the US around 1883 to Baltimore. He was previously married and probably divorced or left his wife behind in Poland. Edward and his first wife had a son, Julius, who in turn, had a son Henry Erdman. Julius Erdman and his family stayed in the Baltimore area, Edward went to Cleveland and married Anna Petrowski. Anna came to the US around 1884 with some of her family members.

Edward's father was named Julius, mother possibly Louise, last name unknown. Anna's father's first name was Gottfried/Fred and mother's Eva (last name unknown).

The Erdman's and also the Petrowski lived in an area around Michalki/Rypin. They had friends/relatives by the last name of Fanslau who also came from the same area, reconnected in Cleveland and both families moved to Michigan around 1902.

The names: Erdman, Fanslau, Petrowski, Gogolin are somehow connected by marriage or friendship starting in Russia/Poland. I would like to find those connections.

The families of Erdman and Petrowski knew their relatives went to the US. It is not know if Edward had siblings. Please see my initial query in regard to the names of Anna's siblings.

Surname Suffixes

cashultz — 20 Aug 2006 6:03:10 GMT

I found an 1840 Catholic marriage record for my ggg grandfather Carolus SCIBA and his 1st wife Francisca ECKSTAEDT. The register is written in Latin. I am confused about how the names of the parents were entered. Carl's parents appear as Mathias and Michalina SKIBY and Francisca's parents appear as Jacobus and Marianna ECKSTAEDTOWIC. Is SKIBY the plural form of SCIBA and why is the suffix -OWIC used for ECKSTAEDT?

SCIBA Baptism Records - Szubin

One child died young and did not emigrate. Notice Carl's surname was sometimes recorded as SCIBINSKI instead of SCIBA.
