My G-G-Grandfather's name was Martin (Marcin) born 1842. His father's name was Mateusz and his mother's name was Francesca Palka. The parents were married in 1834 and Martin was born in 1838. I have not been able to find any births before Martin. The family moved a lot. Martin had several siblings, including one named Andreas, born in 1855 died in 1858. My Nowicki line was located around Swarzedz, Sierkieki Male and Wegierskie. Based on what I have told you, can you make a connection?
