Mark - My family name has been spelled many different ways. One of the ways I found it spelled was "Jetzke". Some of the other spellings I have found are Jaetzke, Gaetzke, Goetzke and a few others. My family comes from Kries Briesen, West Prussia. The earliest "Jetzke" I have is Johann Jaetzke married to Catherina Schienman. Their children were:
Euphrozina b. 1799, Budczek, Kries Briesen, W. P.
Maria b. 1802, Budczek, Kries Briesen, W. P.
Catherina b. 1806, Budczek, Kries Briesen, W. P.
Sara b. 1808, Budczek, Kries Briesen, W. P.
Helena b. 1809, Deutsche Lopatken, Kries Briesen, W. P., married Christian Ploetz.
Paul b. about 1811, Married Sophia Ploetz December 1, 1934 in Groß Ksionsken, W. P. (Paul would be my Great great grandfather).
