The spelling I have on official polish documents from the churches in Tulce Poznan Poland is Majchrzak on one Majszak on one and Majchrszak on another and through our tree there is also Majchrsak and Majkszak basically I dont think I'll ever know the true speling of it in our family I think someones bosses out there spelled it how they thought it should be spelled because someone in our family couldnt write or speak english well it got so bad somewhere during the 1800's my gg grandfather dropped it all together and used his middle name Michaels as his last name and is burried that way but all his kids except two that changed it legally to Michaels are Majchrzaks except the one that ran way to canada he thought Majkszak looked best.

I was born in 1964 as the last daughter of Heinrich Hermann Ernst Nörenberg, who was born 21st of Nov. 1925 in Pommern.

I understand that he had a brother left in Poland. I also understand that this brother owned a hotel until the Germans invaded and claimed it for themselves. I am also interested in finding his (Felix) parents and so on. Unfortunately, I don't speak or write Polish, and my Mother lost her ability some time ago. Any suggestions of where I might be able to ask for help with this? Thanks

He arrived 2 July 1912, age 17 and was going to his brother, John (Jan) in WilkesBarre, PA. He left behind in Poland his father Franciszek. Could this this be your grandfather? If you're looking for other family members in Poland, you need to write to the church in the village where he lived and inquire if there are family as parishioners. You will need to write your letter in Polish...also if you're posting in hopes someone in Poland will reply, you will have a better chance if you post in Polish.

I cannot say for now anything about this Agnes Krauze married to Franciszek Grzeskowiak. I believe that the German marriage record should have some information about where she was born. Do you know where exactly this marriage was celebrated ? I am not currently researching my family in Jaraczewo, as I am doing other research. But I have ordered again the microfilms of Cerekwica not far from Jaraczewo, perhaps I will discover new things there ... Best regards and pozdrowienia z Francji Christian Orpel

Monique, Any chance they may be related to this family?: ......... 2 Victoria Nowak 1907 - ............. +George Adomscick (spelling could be wrong here) This family came from Poland to Pennsylvania, first settling in the coal mining areas in eastern PA, then some moved to Erire, PA and Dunkirk, NY...from here a branch went to the Chicago area, to Cleveland, Ohio area and to SE Wisconsin.

Hi all, I have a question regarding parish location. I am in the process(of elimination)of finding my great grandparent's birth place in Poland(then Germany). Listed on the ship's manifest as 'place of residence' for my great grandfather, Frank CIECMIEROWSKI, was Marienrode, Posen. My great grandmother, Victoria HERZOG CIECMIEROWSKI, who came to USA four months after my great grandfather, listed Worowo, Posen. This was 1888. I crossed referenced these two cities using Kartenmeister. I found one reference for Worowo in Posen: Worowo, Kreis Obornik, Posen, East 17°04' North 52°35'. These coordinates correspond to the village of Wojnowo according to ShtetlSeeker. Using Atlas Drogowy, I found Wojnowo. The coordinates match. I found two references for Marienrode in Posen: 1) Marienrode, Kreis Obornik, Posen, East 17°05' North 52°35'. These coordinates correspond to the village of Gl~e~bocko. The atlas indicates Worowo/Wojnowo and Marienrode/Gl~e~bocko are about 4 km apart. and, 2) Marienrode,aka Maruszkowo, Kreis Kosten, Posen, East 16°40' North 52°12'(I think Maruszkowo is misspelled, I could not find it on the current map at the indicated coordinates). Probably not this Marienrode. Worowo/Wojnowo and Marienrode/Gl~e~bocko do not have parishes listed. So using the atlas, and Kartenmeister to obtain the old German village name for the current Polish village name, I referenced the availability of Catholic Parish records on film at the FHC. Not every village that indicates a parish listed on the map has a Catholic Parish. I have checked the following parishes for the birth/marriage of my great grandparents, and the birth of my great great Aunt: Parkowo, Oborniki, PL Murowana Goslina, Oborniki, PL Oborniki, Oborniki, PL Dluga Goslina, Oborniki, PL Rogozno, Oborniki, PL I found CIECMIEROWSKI's in the last two parishes, but not my gggrandparents. No HERZOG's in any parish. Anyway, there has to be a better method of finding Catholic Parishes in Poland. Any suggestions????? What would be a reasonable distance from one's home to the church in the 1800's? If there were no Catholic churches in the area, would it be unreasonable to attend a Lutheran Church?
