I have a problem with a similar-sounding name that I'm unable to trace farther than mid-19th century: given as von Tischkau (my Grandmother's memory), von Titzka (her father's Bible), possibly as von Tyszka. Kreis Angerburg, Regierungsbizirk Gumbinnen. Probably from east of Angerburg, as my ggfr listed his home as Sapallen, a micro-village almost half-way to Goldap. Angerburg is Wegorzewo, PO and Sapallen is Sapaluvka. Can anyone help me find this family? (My ggggmr m. Christian Skirlo ca. 1830?) Thanks! This list is a great place! Bob Copeland rmc@geneva.edu
