Hello Larry,
forget my Czech proposal, I think Jerry is right. The Polish name of the 
community is Cekcyn, its German spelling was Cekzin. But there were two 
of them: Polnisch Cekzin [Cekcyn] in the Tuchel district and Deutsch 
Cekzin [Ciechocin] in the Konin district. The CRO was in Summin resp. 
Osterwick, the catholic parish in Polnisch Cekzin resp. Osterwick. The 
catholic parish registers of Polnisch Cekzin (1802 to 1909) are 
microfilmed as well as its CRO records (Summin, 1874 to 1882).

One of the most common surnames in Poland is NOWACKI (24910 events in 
the www.herby.com.pl database ; note the -cki suffixe) and this might be 
the original spelling of your ancestors. The according German spelling 
is NOWATZKI.
