Hello all! I have finally started getting my Zgierz roots researched. I have learned my great-great-great-grandmother Paulina Kretzer had a brother, Karol Fryderyk Kretzer. He was born June 7, 1843 in the village of Slowik, near Zgierz. Paulina was born in 1835 or 1836 near Zgierz. Her birth record has not been found yet. He and Paulina were children of Josef Kretzer, a clothmaker, and Marianna Hentszel. Josef was born in 1802 or 1803. Marianna was born in 1812 or 1813. A researcher possibly found a brother for Marianna- Henryk Henschel. He was born in Rothenburg, Silesia. He was born in 1815 or 1814 to Gotlieb Henschel and Joanna Krystyna Schermer. Gotlieb was a clothmaker. Henryk married Caroline Wilhelmina Trettin, daughter of Gotlieb Trettin and Elisabeth Grams. I would love to hear from anyone related to the people mentioned above. Thanks! Vera
