A little bit yea,


my Iwan tree is pretty Large, it started with My Grandpa (Micheal Iwan) and my grandma (Adeline Iwan) father and mother of My dad Mark Iwan, Tom Iwan, Larry Iwan and Lee Iwan. put about 2-5 cousins each. My dad was born in Ohio along with my uncles and aunt. I myself lived in Ca for a long while NY, and now in CO.... Does this help? I wish I had this one letter in NY that I had but it was from another Iwan sent from Germany on a similar search forgot her name

It doesn't look like we are the same Iwan's although somewhere far back we could. Our tree starts in 1765 I think. Anyway if you do a seach on your name in Ancestry it might come up on a tree. There are allot of people who put trees together with distant, distant relatives and you may be surprized.

For sure, there can't be that many Iwans in todays world though.... The name Iwan as a first or a last name is one of the most least popular names in todays world.....

Surnames: Iwan
Hi,

I would like to add my own IWAN connection here too. More details are in http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.iwan/23/mb.ashx

My line is
Paul Iwan - Johann - Ignaz - Augustin
Augustin was my g-grandfather who lived in Karwin (then Austria-Hungary) and later moved to Vienna, Austria, with his family. Karwin today probably is Karvina, Czech Republic.

We are only guessing, that this family originally came from somewhere in Poland. They even in Vienna were connected to a Polish cultural society. One day I'll hopefully get a chance to look through the parish records in Karvina and find out more ...

Hello Tilman

I hope you are still out there somewhere. Karwin is indeed Karvina, and many of the old parish records are on line at http://matriky.archives.cz/matriky_lite/

Hopefully you will find what you are looking for there!
