[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Anyone have anything on Wanda Henschel fromChodecz? Update

[Rose Ingram]

Jeffrey,

The Pedigree Database in the member's only section at SGGEE has Michael Henschel born in 1852 in Lanieta, about 4 miles west of Chodecz' and a Amalie Werner born in 1862 born in same village.  You will find their birth records in the microfilmed Lutheran church records for Chodecz.

It is possible these two are the same people as your Michael and Amalia.  Since there are no filmed records beyond 1865 available to us, and you are looking for a marriage record (say in early 1880's) you would have to contact the Wloclawek State Archives and have them do a search for a marriage record for a price.  (or hire a researcher which would be more costsly).

Do you have a birth record for Wanda Henschel?  What are the ages of the parents?

  An update to the original message I posted (attached below).
  Wanda's parents were Michael Henschel and Amelia Werner.
  Her full date of birth is 24 July 1888.
  Anyone have anything on Michael or Amelia?

  Thanks in advance,
  Jeffrey Dreves

  Looking for any further information about Wanda Henshel.
  Her birthplace was Chodecz. She was residing in 'Wittendorne'
  (it looks like on the manifest) before emigrating to the US in 1907.
  I have her year of birth as 1888, but do not know the exact date.
  When she died in 1950 her death notice mentioned one brother surviving,
  a Rudolph Henschel of Germany. I am especially interested in
  learning if she had any other siblings.

  Thanks in advance.
