We have been told that a priest by the name of Colomon Tomchany was from the same village as the Buchko ancestors we are researching. I am contacting the diocese to see if there is any information on this man in Trenton, NJ. I have not found anything in the Ellis Island lists, IGI or other resources. Colomon seems to be an unusual name and I wonder if this was a translation. Donna Przecha

I am researching a family from Metzenseifen... PIMSNER. I have been told this family appears in no cemetery in the region. I managed to find when my great great grandparents came to the US... I would like to see if anyone is familiar with this surname. It could also be spelled PIMZNER... Does anyone have an idea where they came from in Germany?
