would like to know more on family name "oslick"

I have traced my WODZINSKI lineage in the town of Chocz (north of Kalisz on the Prosna River) back as far as LDS microfilms go (late 1700's). I am interested in contacting any other descendents from this line of Wodzinski's (from Chocz). Some of the earlier maternal branches, include the surnames WROBLEWSKI (Chocz, Broniszewice), ZIELINSKI (Chocz), ROGACKI (Chocz). Some of the Wodzinski's moved to Lodz and Pabianice (my lineage) in the mid to late 1800's.

I don't believe there is a consensus on the relation between the Serbs of White Serbia and the Sorbs or Lusatians. It is generally accepted, though, that the original Serbs (and Croats too) were north Caucasian tribes who moved west into what is now southern Poland certainly by the time of Christ. There is also a White Croatia in that area. "White" in many central Asian languages can also denote "west". Both Serbs and Croats began moving southward through the Carpathians and south of the Danube by the 4th century AD. Back to the name. In early Slavic the word Srb had as its only vowel a "vocalic r". As Slavic languages developed, this vocalic "r" resulted in different pronunciations and spellings in different Slavic languages. So you can get: Srb (as in Serbian/Croatian and Czech/Slovak), Serb (Russian, Ukrainian, Polish), Sorb (as in Sorbian). "y" and "u" are probably attempts to pronounce vocalic "r".

According to my grandpa SLAMA's naturalization papers, his and grandma's last place of residence before emigrating in April 1906 was Ziviec. I spent several hours of a recent visit to the LDS Library in Salt Lake City trying to determine the location of this town, to no avail. Even with the assistance of the kind folks at the help desk there, we could come up with nothing. We tried to consider the possibility that the clerk recorded it misspelled, used old gazeteers... nothing. His family was in Obecnice, near Pribram; she came from Velky Petrovice (now Petrovice), southeast of Praha. Can anyone help?

Hi I am looking for a Reitober family . My grandfather was born in Jesterbitz, Bohemia and came to this country with his father. They returned to Bohemia to get the rest of the family and the father, Stephan Reitober died. My grandfather returned to Minnesota and later came to Kansas. Grandfather is Ignatz Reitober, son of Stephan and Anna. My grandfather had one sister that I know of that married a man by the name of Reibstein in Jesterbitz and they moved to Minnesota. Does anyone know of this family and can someone help me? Also there is a Reitober family in Split, Yugoslavia and I would like to contact someone in that family so see if we are related. jackie _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

10/ I've found out two Sarbinowo in Poland, one near the Odra & Warta confluence, the other on the Baltic sea near Koszalin ; a Sarbia again on the Baltic sea. Are these names connected with the Serbs/Sorbs ? 20/ Does Serbske Kamenice (in the Czech Rep.) (it seems that this city has been renamed since, but I'm not sure) take is "Serbske" prefix out of being in Czech part of Sorbian Lusace or in the ancient White-Serbia ? Does anyone know which present towns are on the territory of this former White-Serbia? Thanks a lot.

Would like to hear from others with ULLSPERGER surnames who immigrated from Czech.

Bobr is also a river in western Poland and so far I know it was called Queiss in German, Bobrowski would mean "from the Bobr river" or "with teeth like beaver's" (BTW what does Da,browski mean?) thanx :)

So, Mr. BALKIEWICZ could > make their village people free and give them his surname and sign I believe you mean present-day Lithuania rather than Latvia. Yes, the surname could be Belarusian or Ukrainian - or even belonging to a Polonized ancestor coming originally from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The animal you refer to, in English, is called a "beaver," and in Belarusian "babior" or "babra," with a long "a" sound. -- 1. To reach me take out the tildes (~) in the email address. 2.

BALKIEWICZ is probably a surname of polish nobilis living in historical Lativia (Litwa, Wielkie Ksiestwo Litewskie) - it was confederated with Rzeczpospolita (Republic) Polska (old Poland) about 1365 and it was very big - today its Lativia, Belorussia and Ukraina. So, Mr. BALKIEWICZ could make their village people free and give them his surname and sign (adoption). It was very popular way in XIX cent. in cause of russian law - only nobilis could be a free man. It is possible, that BALKIEWICZ is transformed from BIAL`KIEWICZ (where `L means a letter like british currency symbol), you can read it as <BIAUKIEWITSCH>. But I am not a genealogist too and I can missed. Name GRUNWALSKI is probably of german origin GRUNWALD - "a geen forest". The same name has a village where polish (and litvanish) king WL`ADYSL`AW JAGIEL`L`O has in 1410 a great victory upon a... I don't know english transcription... Priests of Holy Maria (I know its wrong, like my english at all - sorry) did you understood? It was the biggest battle in Europe that time. BOBROWSKI is a surname containing word BOBR - its an animal I don't really know its english name - it lives in rivers and cuts trees to build artificial lakes - now you know :)))))). Regards T.
