Searching for any information on family name

My mothers maiden name is Priess. I can go back to my great great grandfather Jakob Priess, but have no dates on him.
What info do you have on the Preiss name?

My father is heniek preiss. born cracow april 19 1923. a concentration camp survivor believed to be the only remaining member of the preiss family. i am trying to track down anybody who might be related,

My grandfather George Preiss was born in the 1920's, I think 1922 Latvia. His father was born late 1800's, and I do have his father too, Jakob, but he would be mid 1800's for birth date. I am still learning about my Preiss roots, and do not have too much yet.
There is a Preiss and Talmanis reunion in Latvia in 2001. I have a letter here somewhere on it from my Oma.

My Grandfather was Karlis Preiss from Latvia he married Liba Lemanis i cant find any further information maybe we are connected. Let me know if u can help out thanks.

I notices in the subject line there was a Beca name. Is that a surname you are searching? I have a Benca in my line could be a 'e' with a tail.

BECA is my husband's surname from present Slovak Republic.
Use www.herby.com.pl to see how many people had that surname in 1990, in Poland.
