Hello Hanspeter. So glad to hear from a Sawallisch in Germany. I had some research done by a professional and he found that the Sawallisch name was very popular in Klein Nossin in Kreis Stolp, Kreis Buetow, Kreis Schlawe and Kreis Lauenburg in Pomerania. It is possible that my great grandfather, Carl Sawallisch, was a twin born on 18 Sept 1858. His twin was Albert Sawallisch. The godparents were Karl & August Kebschull and Johanne Portratz. This last information came from a genealogy listserv covering Pommern & Stolp.
I may be able to provide more information on another Sawallisch family not far from my home but I don't know how they are related. But I will provide it to you soon.
Thank you for writing. If you prefer, you can write to me at
