I'm looking for any information on the Czaja family in Poland, particularly in the Gdansk and Sopot areas, where I know my father came from. He was a Kaszub (not sure how to spell). My grandfather was working on the Polish railways and died in 1936. My father was born in 1927.

Hi also looking for Czaja from Gdansk region. Probably a different family. I was wondering if Czaja is a Kaschube name and note that your family was.
my grandfather was born Stanislaus Czaja May 06, 1909 in Schoppa, current day Szopa. They moved to Dortmund Germany with parents and siblings between 1909 and 1915. Thats all that I know.

CZAJA is indeed a Kaschube (? not sure of spelling) name. My father was born in the GDANSK area on 22nd Feb 1927. I still have a number of relatives living there and in SOPOT. My brother and 2 sisters will be visiting them in September so I'm hoping to have more info later this year. I'll keep you posted.

Thank you for your reply. I am excited to hear confirmation that Czaja is/can be a Kaschube name (many spellings depeding on the language.
Maybe your family can find out if there are relations to the Czajas who used to live in Schoppa (Szopa), from the same region. Would love to hear back when they return. you can email my direct email if you want: tmbachmann@yahoo.com

Hi Peter:
Did your brother and 2 sisters ever go to Gdansk to visit your family?
Anything interesting you found out on your family or maybe relatives? I have since more information on my family.
My grandfather Stanislaus Czaja was born in Szopa (Schoppe)near Gdansk. His father's name was Leo Czaja and his mother was Monika Zloch.
Anything interesting you could tell me on the Kaschubes (Cashubes)? thanks-Tilly
