[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Grodziec

[Rose Ingram]

Joachim,

I believe your grandmother's birth record would be in the Grodziec Evangelical records which are now in the Kolo Archives (an affiliate of Poznan archives).  They have records up to 1907, with some gaps.  Even though it indicates records are filmed to 1865, the LDS have filmed records to 1880 and year 1884.  
see
http://baza.archiwa.gov.pl/sezam/pradziad.php?l=en
Type Grodziec in the first box and search.  From the search results, click "more" on the right next to the records that end in 1907.  There you will see the list years and the archives address and emmail address.  

About 2 or 3 years ago all the church records from Sompolno area to Grodziec and Dabie area were transferred to the new Kolo Archives.  

SGGEE has indexed some of the Grodziec records up to about 1865 and the surname Gerhard does is shown in the lists.

  Al, 
  may be you can help, since I understood that you are responsible for the location Grodziec in the sggee organisation.
  I wanted to get light into the ancestors of my grandma born 1889 in a small village in "Kongresspolen" named "Neugrunden" near by Kalisc, but was not successful so far. It's assumed that "Neugrunden" is/was part of Grodziec, since I visited Grodziec last summer and found some links to "Gra;d Stary" and "Gra;d Nowy" which could have been "Altgrunden " and "Neugrunden",
   The name of my grandma was Ernestine Gerhard and she must be member of the Lutheran church. She married a person named Jahns and was a farm worker used regularly to come over for working to South Germany near Heidelberg over the summer times. In certain years apparently she also went to Sweden for working. From the tales of my mother I lerned that in the days she lived in Poland (end of the 19. century, beginning of 20. century) it was forbidden to speak German and to go to German schools. So she was educated covertly. When WW I began she was in Germany and could not go back home.
  So she stayed in South Germany and married again (my grandpa) after her husband died. She herself died in 1960. 
  Have not much infos about relatives or so, whether they stayed in Poland or emigrated lateron?

  I was told to wrote to Archiwum Panstwowe w Kaliszu to get some documents about her, what I did in summer last year, but did not get any response up to now.

  Have you or others any further Idea how I can get infos about birth, marriage, parents etc.?

  Not sure whether I have already addressed this some months ago, if yes please apologise.

  Best Regards and thanks for your help in advance
  Joachim Lebedzow
