ANDERSON, Gertrude M.
eMail: anders@cyberramp.net
(Roman Catholic)

I am seeking information about my grandparents. My grandmother, Agnieszka KUBASZEWSKI, was born at Posen, Posen, and probably in the year 1868. She was a member of St. Martin's Church. She married my grandfather, Tomasz ZABLOCKI, in about 1883. My mother, Leokadya Zablocki, was born in 1888, and was baptized at St. Martin's Catholic church. The family emigrated to the U.S. with 3 children about 1898 or 1900. I have been trying to find some semblance of my family for the past 10 years. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.


BIRKHOLZ, William L.
eMail address: debraw@hearth-realty.com

I am researching my great-grandparents August BIRKHOLZ (31 July 1841 - 28 December 1929) and Ernstina Frederika BIRKHOLTZ (29 June 1842 - 20 June 1924). I have conflicting birthplaces for them. One says Rierzi, Germany and the other says Rietzig, Ger. Other than that I can only say I have heard that other members of the family were born in Posen. My great-grandparents both emigrated to America on the ship "America" from Bremen via Southampton on 1 June 1868, and settled in the Ripon, Wisconsin area where my grandfather was born. My father and his brothers and sisters were born in northern Iowa (Charles City / Rudd / Rockford). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.


BOEHMKE, LaVerne TELLE
54 Arundel Place, St. Louis, Missouri 63105-2278, USA
eMail address: LTBoehmke@aol.com

I am seeking information about the following: Beate Frederica Christiane JAEHNIKE was born 6 December 1804 at the city of Meseritz, Posen, and baptized in the Evangelical Church on 16 December 1804. Her father was Gottfried JAEHNIKE, a master shoemaker, born about December 1749. Her mother was probably his second wife, Anna Elisabeth ELSNER. On 11 June 1823 Beate Frederica Christiane married Joachim SIEVERS / SIEWERS, born August 1798 at Bremen. The marriage record calls him an Evangelical Reformed buerger and master shoemaker from Koenigswalde, the oldest son of Joachim SIEVERS of Bremen.

According to the research of Wilhlem Iwan, they and 2 living children, became part of the Old Lutheran migration which left Posen in 1838. But he reports that his information about those Old Lutherans who left Posen was not complete because he lacked some of the records. They appear in the U.S. Federal Census for Buffalo, New York in 1850, and they are also in the records of First Trinity Lutheran Church at Buffalo. I have not been able to find their exact date of arrival although I have checked many passenger lists. I would like very much to find emigration records from Posen.


BOEVINGLOH, Sharlene
1840 New Jamestown Road, St. Louis, Missouri 63138- USA
eMail address: sboevinglo@aol.com

I am looking for information regarding Johann M. ZILLMER, born 29 September 1810 at Schmolowa (near Schneidemuhl), Posen, Germany, who married Dorothea Elisabeth WITT, born 1811 at same place. They had 7 children that I know of: August (born 1835, the only child not to come to the USA), Wilhelmina Ernestiner (born 1838), Martin (born 1840), Stephen Christof (born 1841), Amelia (born 1844), Augusta Justine (born 1845), and Johann (born 1851). All of the children were born in the Friedheim Wirsitz parish area. I would also like to contact other family members researching this line.


BRAUN, Raymond A.
400 So. Northwest Highway, Park Ridge, Illinois 60068- USA
eMail address: irmaray@wwa.com
(Roman Catholic)

I am seeking information regarding my great-grandfather Jacob (or August) BRAUN and his siblings. From church records USA he came from Losino, Posen (I assume the province) and emigrated, arriving in the USA in July 1871 and settled at Chicago. He married Franciska in West Prussia and they had children: August, Anton, Franciska, Antoni & Augusta. Jacob (August) was born about 1808. The family was Roman Catholic. There seems to be some confusion about the town Losino. There is a town Losino now which is in the area around Slupsk, Poland. I am seeking information about birth, marriage and death of these individuals.


BUTTA, Lorraine HANSEN
729 Wade Road, Longmont, Colorado 80503- USA
eMail address: raine@mci2000.com

I am searching for the birthplace and parents of my great-grandparents: Gottlieb STEINKE, born 28 December 1854 in Posen Province. he emigrated to the U.S. circa 1873-1875. He had a brother Wilhelm Steinke and a sister Auguste Steinke, both of whom came to U.S. (I think at the same time, however not sure). Auguste reportedly married a man whose last name was ZICK and lived in Chicago. Auguste DUMKE (married Gottlieb Steinke in 1876). Auguste was born 10 May 1850 in Posen Province. She emigrated to the U.S. on 14 June 1873 aboard the ship "Mosel" from Bremen. She had a brother Gustav Dumke who lived at Goerchen, Posen Province, from about 1893 to at least 1910 and worked at the sugar mill there. Any information is appreciated.


DAHL, Phyllis

(Jewish)

My great-great-uncle, Nathan BARNERT (born 30 September 1838, Zaniemysl; mayor of Paterson, NJ, USA) built a synagogue in Santomischel (Zaniemysl) in the last part of the 1800's. Does this synagogue still exist? How would I go about researching what happened to it? His parents were Meyer BARNERT and Ida NEWFELT Barnert whose immigration papers say that they were from Posen. They emigrated to Minneapolis, USA in 1849. Are there any local records which I would help me learn more about my family? Did Meyer and Ida have other children? Would it be possible to find out where they lived in Zaniemysl and through which port they sailed to America? Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated.


EVASKOVICH, Mildred Moir
1502 Lincoln Avenue, Alamogordo, New Mexico 88310- USA
eMail address: evasko@wayfarer1.com

My great-great-grandparents, Wilhelm ZIEBARTH and Rosina SPANGLER ZIEBARTH, emigrated to the U.S. in August 1855 on the ship "Hermine", with their eight children. At least one son-in-law, my great-grandfather, Mathias FLAKKER, was in the party also. I have traced them from the time of their arrival in the United States. Now I am trying find out about them before they left Europe. All records tell me that they came from Posen, Prussia. The ship's passenger list only lists Posen. I have yet to try church records from there. Does anyone know of these names?


GANNON, Eugenia

eMail: Ewegenia@aol.com
(Catholic)

I'm searching for information on my great-grandfather Peter Paul KRUEGER (KRUGER, KRIEGER) from Schoenlanke, Germany (now Trczianka, Poland). He and his bride Henrietta WOLLGAST emigrated to America from Hamburg Germany and arrived at New York on 20 November 1861, settling at Joliet, Illinois. Any information on his ancestors would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.


GILLMORE, Carol

(Lutheran)

I am trying to find the birthplace of my great-grandfather, Anton Theodor TUCHOLL. He was confirmed at Lindenwerder, Posen, Prussia on 21 May 1868. He is the son of August TUCHOLL and Anna Caroline BARANOWSKI. He was married 25 April 1880 in the Evangelische Kirche at Samotschin, Kreis Kolmar, Posen, Prussia. He married Albertine Ottilie WELLMANN. The couple emigarted to America, arriving 4 January 1881 on board the ship "SS Bolivia" from Glasgow, Scotland. I would also like to find out how he got to Glasgow and from where he originated in Germany.


HEDT, Stephen
eMail address: hedts@silyn-tek.de

I am looking for information on my forefathers from Schonlanke (Trczianka), Posen. My grandfather's name was Gustav Ferdinand HEDT, (born 1866, died 1942). His parents were Johann Christien HEDT (1826-1874) and Wilhelmina Henriette SCHIRMER HEDT (1827-1869). Thanks.


HOLTERMAN, Mary Kay
3401 Iva Ada Drive, Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278- USA
eMail address: mkhpaint@mindspring.com
(Protestant)

My maternal grandfather's name was Gustav Rudolph SPLETTER. I am searching for information about his family, specifically his mother's maiden name and the names of his grandparents and other ancestors. His father was Julius SPLETTER and his mother's Christian name was Matilda. Julius SPLETTER was born in Posen in about 1858. Gustav SPLETTER, his son, was born in Posen in 1881. He and three siblings, along with their parents, emigrated to the US in 1887 from the village of Schniedemine, or Schneideneul, in the province of Posen in what was then Germany. I'm uncertain what their religion in Posen was, but in this country they were Protestant. They settled at Montevideo, Minnesota, and my grandfather married and lived the rest of his life at Spencer, Iowa, where he and his brother Max were cigar makers.


KELM, Tom
2951 South 101 Street, West Allis, Wisconsin 53227- USA
eMail address: tommy@execpc.com

My grandfather Paul Ludwig Albert KELM was born on 25 March 1877.
He emigrated to the US in 1881; he was born at Putzig (Holland prov.) Posen (Putzig Hauland?). His parents were Adolf KELM and Pauline KRUEGER. They settled at Princeton, Wisconsin. I have looked on old maps of Posen and I found one that had a Putzig on it. I talked to other persons that had relatives in Princeton, Wisconsin and they said the same thing, that their relatives came from "Putzig-Holland Prov. Posen"(?). If anyone can help with my research, I would be grateful.


KIRBITZ, Kevin
3733 Norwood Drive, Flint, Michigan 48503- USA
eMail address: kevinkir@home.com

I am seeking information on Martin KIRBITZ (alternate spellings: KURBUTZ, KURBITZ, KUERBITZ.) According to church records at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church at Tawas City, Michigan, where he settled in the in the late 19th century, Martin KIRBITZ was born 29 October 1851 at Balschewo, Kreis Inowrrazlaff, Reg. Bromberg, Prov. Posen, Preussen. His father is listed as Matthaeus KURBITZ. If you have any information which would enable me to extend my research, please contact me.


KNORR, Bryce and Dagmar
eMail address: bknorr@idcnet.com

The thing that got me (Dagmar) interested in my family history was my mom's passing in Febuary 1999. I was never aware that so many of the areas my people were from were leveled and cleansed after World War II. I started asking my Dad about Wehlau and Konigsberg, where my mom Ellen Eva TSCHUTTER, born 1918, died 1998, was from. Then he started explaining some of the history of East Prussia and the Baltic States and it was fascinating and heartbreaking. In fact the idea that all his life had been colored by some sort of war or uprising in the East was the one that caused our family to emigrate.

My father's father was August SIMONEIT (born about 1880, died 1950). His siblings were Antonia, Oskar, and Ferdinand SIMONEIT. Oskar had a meat-packing business in Greifswald near Stettin. I do not know the dates of birth but it would have been the 1880's. They were born in Mittau-Courland as were their parents and grandparents. The great-grandparents were from Tilsit. Some of the grandmothers' names were GUSTAFSON and ANSON. Their father was a printer at Mittau. There was some scandal and he left his wife and children. Shortly thereafter the mother died and the children were sent to live with other relatives. Tante Jenny SIMONEIT's father took in Antonia SIMONEIT and they grew up like sisters. Later Jenny married a pharmacist named EICHMANN. Antonia married another ethnic German in Latvia named FRITZBERG. The boys were sent to a boys school for motherless children in Mittau and received a good education. It was paid for by a wealthy uncle. Antonia had two daughters, Zenta and Mara. When Fritzberg passed away rather young, Antonia married a man named Arnold LANDOWSKI. They died in Chicago - Uncle Arnold in about 1965, Tante Toni died about 1970. Mara and Zenta are still living, Zenta in the U.S. and Mara in Latvia.

My father, Alexander Franz SIMONEIT, was born in 1917 at Tula, Russia. His father August SIMONEIT was an agronomist working for the tsar at that time. His wife, my grandmother, was Maria KRUMIN (born 1890's, died 1970's), from Tuckum, Latvia. We have been told that the family home is still standing, the Simoneit villa, in Tilsit, as of 1970. We know nothing before Tilsit.

August, Oskar, Ferdinand and Antonia Simoneit went to Riga, Latvia, since it was a large city with more opportunity and lived there until the end of World War II. When the Bolsheviks came in, they were forced out of Riga and were moved to Posen (POZNAN). Antonia Simoneit-Landowski, her husband, Arnold, and daughter Zenta KARKLINS (husband Erik, born about 1916) got out. Mara and her husband were sent to Siberia. Her husband was a Russian Latvia landowner and officer. They were very patriotic Latvians so they spent the rest of their lives in Siberia. I know they had a son there. I believe his name is Uri. Oskar and Ferdinand were never again heard from. They both had children. One was Jenny SIMONEIT-EICHMANN and she got out to West Germany. I believe Ferdinand SIMONEIT was her father. I wonder what happened to them. They spent many years trying to locate them through the Red Cross but assumed that they were killed. I wonder about their children.

I wonder how the family came to Tilsit. I also wonder if there may not be relatives still in the East. All we know of now is my father's half brother Kuno SIMONEIT (born about 1919 or 1920) and 3 cousins: Margot, Martin and Olaf SIMONEIT. They are all in their 40's and live at Munich, Germany. Kuno is in his 70's. This is also where my father's stepmother Adelaid SIMONEIT died of old age. It had been said the SIMONEIT family may have been French Hugenots at one time. But that may be speculation.

My mother, Ellen Eva TSHUTTER-SIMONEIT (1918-1998), was born and raised in orphanages in Konigsberg for about the first 7 years of her life. She escaped Konigberg because she was young and she lived near the wall. The bombing and what happened after sounded pretty horrible. Her grandmother Tschutter died while they were fleeing. My grandparents were Gustav HORSTKOTTE, a banker from Westphalia, and Eva TSCHUTTER (about 1890 to 1989) from Wehlau, near Konigsberg. The story goes that the Tshutters came from Hungary. Eva's father was a railroad worker. At the time of his death, Eva was sent to Konigsberg to learn to be a maid and help support the family. Here she met HORSTKOTTE and conceived my mother. I have a lot of curiosity about this side of the family as I have a son with high-functioning autism that is said to be genetic but know little about them. I can't seem to find any history on these names and would appreciate any help. Thanks so much for your interest.
Webmaster's Note: If you wish to explore the question of records at Wehlau (there is a reel of "Grundbuchindex" for 1836 that would be helpful to surname index) or of Hugenot or other Königsburg records - several are of real interest to me here - FEEFHS is prepared to work with you ... if you, in turn, are willing to help us create finding aids (by you computerizing a list of surnames) from the microfilm reels your look at.

KUEHN, Phil
4650 Palms Road, Casco, Michigan 48064- USA
eMail address: pkuehn@mich.com

I am researching the ancestry of Johann Carl WEBER and his wife Maria Rosina AUST. Their son Johann Carl August WEBER, born 19 October 1827 (I believe), emigrated to the USA in 1850. They lived at Raokoschuetz (now Rakoszyc) in Poland. His father was a blacksmith in Raokoschuetz. There were other siblings who
emigrated to Wisconsin, one to California, and one to Texas. I have no further information than this. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.


MALACHINSKI, Steve
10858 Greenbay Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60617-, USA
eMail address: smal@ix.netcom.com

I am looking for any information I can find on my wife's great-grandparents. They were: Charles Ludwig HIRSCHFELD, born 1852 in Prussia, died 23 September 1934 at Chicago, Illinois. Julianna BRODERICK (or BRODAK: I have seen both spellings), born 1857 in Posen, died 28 February 1931 at Chicago, Illinois.

I have in my possession a Reise-Pass for Charles dated 8 May 1891. I have had different people look at it and the best I can come up with is that the pass was issued at Schroda and that he was from Franzburg (?). The writing is poor and hard to decipher. Any suggestions?
Webmaster's Note: Your clues seem to be in that travel pass. There was a town or village named Franzburg in Pommern (Pomerania) with census, military and emigration records preserved. There also was a town named Schroda in Posen (now Shroda, Poznan) which has some church, Jewish and civil records. The original records for both locations are at Griefswald's Staatsarchiv. They have been microfilmed and are available to use at the FHL in Salt Lake City or for a nomial fee through your nearest LDS Family History Center (FHC).

Since you have declined to state the probable religon of your wife's ancestors, we can go no farther than suggest you look at the microfilmed records for both locations. You might also go after their emigration or naturalization records (looking for the locations of birth in Europe) by starting with the Federal census and their obituaries to determine approximately when the arrived in America.

I am seeking the name of the town in Posen (if not Posen itself) that the following family came from: KRESS, Adolph, married to ROSENBAUM, Alvina. They had 3 sons: William Richard (born 1897), Hugo, and Albert. Whole family emigrated to the USA from port of Hamburg in 1905, arrival port New York. Thank you in advance for any information about this family.


SCHOLL, Dan

(Roman Catholic)

The known facts about my ancestors: Michael BREITENBACH was born about 1789 at Klotyldowo, Subin and married (Roman Catholic) 9 March 1835 (at Chodziez) to Teresia RECEK (born 15 February 1805 at Slomki). She was his 2nd wife. They lived at Radwonki. Adalbertus RECEK and Marianna PRZEWOZNIANKA were the parents of Teresia RECEK. (Source: Archdiocesan Catholic Archives, Poznan: birth and marriage records). Martin BREITENBACH emigrated to Wisconsin about 1860. He was married in St. Joseph Church at Appleton, Wisconsin in 1876. His descendants live in the Fox River Valley of Wisconsin and in Louisiana. I am interested in land titles and German military records for BREITENBACH, as well as any other information about the above.
Webmaster's Note: Catholic church transcripts of vital records are on FHL microfilm for present day Chodziez in Poland - then called Kolmar when it was a German town. These microfilms also cover the nearby village on Radwonke (now Radwanki, Poland). The text is in both Polish and German. They can be obtained on loan for a nominal fee to be viewed at your nearest LDS Family History Center (FHC).

I know of no German military records or land and property records for that area that have been microfilmed. The German military records may exist in Germany. The land and property records can be expected to exist at the Polish state archive covering a region of Poland that contains the town in question.

Obtaining the correct fond and file to support your land and property records research interest could turn out be quite an experience; one that may span an extended period of time. It will most certainly call for the need of help from professionals skilled in dealing with the Polish state archive system. Unless you can cite a specific "gut" (farm) or land location, it will probably call for an onsite visit by an experienced trilingual (German/Polish/English) genealogy record searcher. Thus it could become expensive, with no a-priori assurance of success.

SOMMERFELD, Grant
28 Homestead Crescent, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T5A 2Y3
eMail address: grant@sommerfeld.net

I am searching for information on the WILMS and RABENHORST families who originate at or near the city of Gnesen (modern day Gniezo, Poland). My information begins with a Frederick (possibly Johann) WILMS and his wife Helena RABENHORST (both born circa 1840). They had at least two children. The daughter was Helena WILMS (born 8 December 1871). The son was named Johann or maybe Heinrich. I have a photo of him circa 1890 in a Prussian military uniform. At some point around 1900 this family emigrated to Einlage, south Russia. There may be a connection with the SOMMERFELD family as well. I would love to hear from anyone with information on the WILMS or RABENHORST or SOMMERFELD families. Thank you in advance.


TEMPLER, Darryl
eMail address: dtempler@att.net

I am seeking information regarding Goetlieb HIRTH. He emigrated from Bromberg Stadt to the United States during early 1888. His family appears to have lived at Bromberg since at least 1837 when he was born there. His second wife was Wilhelmine. His first wife was Charolina NITZ, also of Bromberg Stadt. Goetlieb's daughter was Emilie HIRTH. She emigrated with him and married August BAUMANN, also of Bromberg Stadt. They married in the United States. August emigrated during 1892. His father, Frederick BAUMANN, born Bromberg Stadt 1835, followed him to the United States during 1899. Frederick Baumann's parents were Christian BAUMANN and Mary WENSLAF.


WARNKE, Tim
eMail address: warnket@execpc.com
(Lutheran)

I am looking for information on Johann Friedrich WARNKE. He was born 13 June 1814 in Schneidemuhl, Prussia. Marriage records indicate he was from Stieglitz, Posen, and his first children were born at Putzig Hauland, Posen and Czarnikau, Posen. He was Lutheran. His father's name was Michael WARNKE. I am seeking information on his possible siblings and parents.


WOZNIAK, Mary C.
P.O. Box 356, New Buffalo, Michigan 49117- USA
eMail address: jwozniak@triton.net
(Roman Catholic)

I am looking for any information about Michal WOZNIAK, born about 1879, at Posen, Posen, Poland. The 1920 census for Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, indicates that he emigrated in 1899. He married Julianna Eva WOLLEK, in Chicago, Illinois, date unknown. Their children, born in Chicago, were: John, 1906; Edward, 1907; Zygmunt, 1909; Bronislaw (Bruno), 1912; Michael, 1914; Czeslaw (Chester), 1915; Florentyna (Florence), 1916; Stanislaw (Stanley); and Delores. On 16 May 1919 Julia WOZNIAK bought a farm in Clearfield Township, Juneau County, Wisconsin. Two more children, Louis (1923) and ?, were born there. These two died in infancy and are said to be buried there on the family farm. Michal WOZNIAK was a carpenter. He died in 1935, and is buried at Resurrection Cemetery, Justice, Cook County, Illinois.

The parents of Julia WOLLEK were Michael WOLLEK, born September, 1855 or 1856 in Poland (Germany), and Anna MAZURKIEWICZ, born 8 or 9 May 1857, also in Poland (Germany). They lived in the 4800 block of South Hoyne Avenue at Chicago, Illinois. Michael WOLLEK emigrated in 1879, and was a laborer who worked in the stockyards. Anna emigrated in 1882. Other children of this marriage were: Stanislaw (Stanley), 1884; Michael P., 1885; Martin, 1888; John, 1892; Stephen; and Roman, 1899 (data from the 1920 Chicago census). The WOZNIAK and WOLLEK families were Catholic.

I don't know anything about Michal WOZNIAK's parents or possible siblings. Nor do I know why he settled in Chicago, or why Julia, and not Michal, bought the farm. How did they find Juneau, Wisconsin? Were the WOZNIAK's in Juneau related to Michal? Other family names I'm looking for include: TARGOSZ, BANIA, GRANICZNY, JUREK, STRZELECKI, and KOSCHAK. Thank you for any information you may have.
