my German ancestors came from the area of Plock in central Poland. today it's a pretty big town on the north bank of the Vistula river, 60 miles east of Warsaw. there is also a "Plonsk" just a few miles east of Plock. you have to be a little careful here, because the county that Plock is in, is also named Plock. it was very near the boundary between the provinces of South Prussia and short-lived New East Prussia during the 2nd partition of Poland in 1792, then was within the boundaries of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw when Napoleon came thru in 1805, then it became part of Congress Russia in 1815 after Napoleon was defeated. our ancestors lived in interesting times! there were many ethnic Germans living in this whole region of Poland, along the river, from Thorn to Warsaw. you'll need to figure out how your German surnames translate into Polish, and vice versa, when searching this area. for example, my own Knopf line translates to Guzowski in Polish, as Knopf is the German word for "button" and Guzowski is a form of the Polish word for "button". in fact, some of the records i've found list my ancestors' last name written out as "Knopf vel Guzowski", or Knopf alias Guzowski, which simply means that they used both forms of their last name in their affairs. some families started out German Prussian, with each new generation moving a little farther upstream and becoming a little more Polish. so it's often helpful to know both forms and to use both in your searches. if you end up looking in the 1800s along the Vistula river for your German relatives, sggee.org and upstreamvistula.org are good places to start looking for which parishes were nearby. if you're looking in the 1900s, you should be aware that many Germans living in this area were whisked away & resettled in the Volga region (Saratov) of Russia during world war I. some died there, others returned to Poland after the war, and some remained in Russia. the site at ahsgr.org might be helpful in this case. if you find your searches taking you to Poland more often, rootsweb has an active Poland Roots group as well. chris On 10/12/2011 2:42 PM, Deborah Frontczak wrote: > Yes, I assumed they were German names also, altho all my ancestors so far have listed Polish as their mother tongue.

Chris, Could you recommend a good history that would detail the influx of Germans that had settled in Northern Poland by 1775? My Weiss and Wedelstaet ancestors had settled in the area of Koscierznya (then known as Berent). Thank you, Frank Weihs

Yes, I assumed they were German names also, altho all my ancestors so far have listed Polish as their mother tongue.  My one grandma, descended from the Fuerst/Wrosch line, was Kashub and remembered some Kashub nursery rhymes.  And once I saw Wrosch spelled Wrosz!!  :)   Płock is directly east of Poznan, almost to Warsaw, south of Gdansk.  You're right, it's hard to tell from maps, but it looks like it may have been right on the border of Pommerania and Russia around the turn of the century (1900).   Thanks for checking my names against yours!  and I appreciate the encouragement!   Deborah Frontczak _____________________________________________________ Researching Genealogy (Detroit, MI and Poland) for: Frontczak, Owczarek, Fuerst, Wrosch, Langa, Endert, Stefanski, Mrozowski, Sobieski, Tomaszewski, Kowalski, Ksiazkiewicz, Bukowski.

Have you checked the Poznan records online? I don't have the link because it doesn't pertain to my family, but you might google it. Also google Kashub or Kashubia - I also remember seeing something about that on wikipedia, with lnks for more info. I think the Kashubs were located in that Baltic region between Slupsk (formerly Stolpe) & Gdansk.

I'm sure one of the Prussia/Pomerania experts can help you better than I can. My ancestors arrived in New York from Bremen, Germany. :You might also try www.ellisisland.org or www.castlegarden.org. They're both free online, might have to register with them. Occasionally the record will give the village of origin or of residence. Ancestry.com has ships' manifests also, & I access that at my Anchorage library or at the National Archives in town. Hope that helps.

Judy Petersen ----- I am searching for the record of BERNHARD HAACK and Family, from or near Koeslin , Pommern . They emigrated in the year of 1872 , AND ARRIVED in New York City on 11 May 1872 The BERNHARD HAACK was born on 01 Nov. 1840 , and I do not know the exact town that was born at , however the area of Koszalin Pommern is the town that They came from , in the records of the (GTA) "Germans To America books" However it may be that Koszalin is just the town that They applied for an emigration permit. BERNHARD HAACK's wife was BERTHA ALBERTINA DEVONSKE/DAMESCHKE. They had children , FRANZISKA born about 1866 , ADOLPH born about 1869 , and RICHARD born in 1871 . If You know of where I could find the emigration record , then the emigration record may record what city or area that They lived at before the emigration. Please reply Sincerely Karl Roussin St. Clair Missouri , U.S.A. email kroussin@moisp.net. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Message ----- From: "judy petersen" <skigranny@gmail.com> To: <prussia-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2011 9:20 PM Subject: Re: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Koeslin research I just ran all the names thru my extensive program, but came up empty handed.

You're so right, Judy! I have my names posted on WorldConnect, and have a website with my family info. I've made lots of contacts -- but only one on this branch. -- Mona Houser HeritageHunt@Sandyviewinfo.net Our Family -- http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~monajo/ Nahausen Families – http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~monajo/nah/ My Database – http://wc.rootsweb.com/~monahouser Buffalo County NEGenWeb --www.rootsweb.com/~nebuffal/

ok, Judy Petersen, that's a really good point.  thank you!!  I've been reading everyone else's posts and not really done any inquiries of my own, so here goes!!  I've hit some roadblocks so maybe I can connect with someone who is researching the same names. Not all my ancestors are in the Pommeranian area and there are many that I have no clue where they're from, but I'm going to list all surnames anyway in case someone recognizes something.  All of my ancestors came from *Poland* to Detroit and lived, worked, and died there. FRONTCZAK OWCZAREK - possibly from Kaleske, Poland, or somewhere listed as Mielkowice         related to PASTUSZKA and ADAMUS   FUERST and WROSCH with parents listed as being born in Danzig (Gdansk), but in another document from Plock ENDERT, married to Fuerst LANGA - with a city that looks like Brozin, Germany   KOWALSKI - listed as coming from Germany, but later listed as Russia SCHULTZ  - married to Kowalski above KSIAZKIEWICZ - which did get a hit on the Poznan Project and I am waiting for info         wife of above name, KRAJENKE, but her second marriage was to BUKOWSKI TOMASZEWSKI and GAWSKI (sp?) from Szczutowo, Poland in the Gorsk district, but not sure where that is. STEFANSKI from Bratkowice             with American relations to AMBROZY MROZOWSKI from Warsaw (Bratkowice) SOBIESKI from Warsaw So, do I have any relatives out there searching for the same ancestors???  Deborah Frontczak _____________________________________________________ Researching Genealogy (Detroit, MI and Poland) for: Frontczak, Owczarek, Fuerst, Wrosch, Langa, Endert, Stefanski, Mrozowski, Sobieski, Tomaszewski, Kowalski, Ksiazkiewicz, Bukowski.

I just ran all the names thru my extensive program, but came up empty handed.
