Hi, I was searching my mother's last name and came across some messages that were posted quite some time ago. I was just interested in the information you know in relation to your last name "Cieklinski." My mother doesn't know very much about her ancestry, and after reading you posting, I am curious about finding out more information. Can you help me?

Update: The first to immigrate in this family group from Grudno, Poland was Ignatius Zielinski and his wife, Anna Cieklinski. They traveled from Bremen to Baltimore, arriving Apr 8, 1880. They settled first in Winona, MN and then moved to Milwaukee, WI between 1890 and 1896. Anna's brother Frank Cieklinski immigrated to Winona, MN in 1882. In 1883, Frank and Anna's sister Pauline immigrated with her husband George Grzeszkiewicz and several of their children. Anna, Frank, and Pauline's mother Victoria also immigrated, probably with either Frank or Pauline before 1885. Victoria died and was buried in Winona 1892. Frank married Mary Hapka in 1883 in Winona. Pauline's and Frank's families moved to Marshall county, MN between 1895 and 1900.

Re: Ceiklinski Name and Woltosz origins.......

Surnames: Woltosz, Zima, Welcer(Welker)
After much ado I received a letter from Professor Doctor Zygmunt Klimek from Instyut Jezyka Polskiego, Krakow. He said that the origin of my surname is not Polish but the name of a German colonist family that were given land in Southern Poland to replace the people who died in one of the usual plagues that killed much of the population in that area. They were thought to be efficient farrmers and could make tha land productive again. I don't know if they lived up to the Emperor's expectations but they did get the land. The name was Polanized with the addition of osz added to the Wolt the original name. They are locatied in Austria, Holland and Austria. I think that they probably came form Austria since there was a marriage with a Welcer,
(Deutsch) Welker from a family in Bad Ischl, Austria in the marriage records. It is interesting to see the trend of thought regarding marriage in the family.(Interbreeding)
