I I have received records on my great grandfather Friedrich BAUTZ.of Kowatschi from some really great fellow searchers. I am thrilled dates/ places and name of great grandmother Emalie Kirschner...all fit. I have seen many different name/spelling variations, but am stumped with this variation: PAUTZ / PANCZ / PENZER these variants came from the St. Andreas book. Also found that the moved to Kowatschi in 1844 from Saderlach. wow....Pautz to Penzer seems such a long stretch... my question:....Do Pautz and Penzer have similiar meanings??? I am interested in any ideas about these two seemingly separate names. thanks. Linda Bautz McKenna
