I am looking for additional information regarding the Kuffel and Bartz families. My ancestor, Carl Bartz, was born to Lucia Kuffel and Stanislaus Bartz in 1853 in the Gross Byslaw, Westpreussen Prussia area. Let me know if anyone has any additional information. Thanks.

The name Kufel with one f is Polish, and two f's is some times the english version.
I have found out from Carrie Taylor that our joint Kuffel roots are from one Paul and Elisabeth Kuffel of Wisconsin per 1870 census highland township, Iowa County. The Kuffel family is from Lubiewo and Gross Byslaw, Westprussia, Prussia which is not too far from Bydgoczyc. You are right that it is now a part of Poland.
I am looking for two items, one of which is how they got
into the country ie which boat, the other is related
family of Paul's children and Paul's parents.

Interesting. My ancestor is Carl Bartz, who was born January 28, 1853 in Schwatz,, Germany to Stanislaus Bartz and Lucia Kuffel. Looks like he was christened in the Gross Bislaw, Westpruessen, Preussen Katholishce Kirche. Carl Bartz arrived in the country in the 1870s and settled in the Chicago area. Let me know if you find any additional information related to Lucia Kuffel or the Bartz family. Thanks.
