[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Polish and German roots

[Mw2657 at cs.com]

Hello,

This is my first time posting to your group, so I hope someone out there may 
be able to lead me in the right direction. I have come to a dead end with all 
my family lines, and could use your help with where to go from here.

On my paternal side, I am researching the following family names: 

BUTZEN, Walter, b. 6/4/1802 in Rheil Germany, d. 2/18/1881 married to Anna 
Barbara STREUSSER/STRAUSSER, b. 7/22/1806, d. 7/18/1857. They emigrated to 
the US on the SS Oregon from Antwerp to New York 12/5/1853. They had one 
known daughter, Francisca BUTZEN, b. 6/27/1835 in Rheil.

Francisca BUTZEN married Mathias JUNGBLUT, b. 7/27/1831 in Koblenz, Ger., d. 
6/20/1891.  Mathias and Francisca had one known daughter, Mary Ann(a) 
JUNGBLUT, b. 6/27/1858 in Chicago, IL, d. 3/10/1935 in Chicago, IL.

Anna Christina NAGEL, b. 12/5/1828 in Hanover/Hagerlock, Wurttenberg, Ger., 
d. 2/17/1904 in Chicago, Il. Anna Christina married Louis Ludwig 
LICHTENSTEIN, b. 1817 in Bavaria. Louis L. and Anna Christina (Christie) had 
5 known children: Louis Henry LICHTENSTEIN, b. 3/5/1856 in Pottstown, PA, d. 
11/27/1937 in Oak Park, IL., Charles, Augusta,  Edward and Annie.

Louis H. LICHTENSTEIN married Mary Ann JUNGBLUT 2/20/1884. They had 
6 known children: 
- Maria Christina, b. 1/12/1886 in Chicago, IL, d. 1892
- Mathias, b. 4/9/1887 in Chicago, IL, died 1900
- Clara Elizabeth, b.11/29/1889 and d. 1892
- Sophia, b. 3/2/1894 in Chicago, IL, d. 11/30/1977 in Aurora, IL
- Caroline Rosalie, b. 11/1/1898 in Chicago, IL, d. 6/19/1976 in Kerrville, 
TX.
- Maria Francisca, b. 3/10/1905 in Chicago, IL

It is believed (family lore) that the Lichtenstein's were distant relatives 
to the Crown of the Principality of Leichtenstein. The name has been spelled 
several ways in the documentation we have.

My maternal lines go back into Poland/Germany as follows:

7/23/1844 in St. Nicholas Church, Inowroclaw. Maria was b. @ 1823 or 1824, d.

Joseph Michael(1) and Waleria KRUSZYNSKI had 14 known children:

Joseph Michael Kruszynski was an only child, but we know of other male 
Kruszynski's that must have been his 1st or 2nd cousins, Max, Oscar (Al), 
Chester, Mike Jr. John. Waleria had possibly 5 sisters (Anna, Dominka, Joanna 
are known) and 2 brothers. Other given and surnames (we don't know where they 
fit yet) are Bronek, Marta, Irene/Ireane, Anderef/Andrej, Janina, Dominte, 
STASKIEWICZ, SWIATEK, Ignatius - Francis - Feliks - Rev, Agnellus SOBOLEWSKI. 

John Theodore SZCZUPAK (changed to STEUPAK in the US), married Regina Mary 
Kruszynski.

Again, some current information on all of these lines is known, my search is 
going back into Poland/Germany for more ancestral information and families 
(siblings/parents, etc) that were left behind. I am also interested in any 
information you may have to share about any of these surnames/any generation.
