[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Herzog surname

[marmel]

HERZOG research:

I have the surname HERZOG in my research database from the Lutheran Church records of Czerniejewo, Poland (aka Schwarzenau, Provinz Posan, West Prussia) with 2 females, one born in 1853 in the village of Grabowo, Wielkopolskie, Poland (just NE of Gnesen), and one married in 1865.  I don't know how common the surname is, but it is one I hadn't heard previously.  Perhaps it was a common surname to the Posan area in mid 1800s?  This area of the Czerniejewo Lutheran Church encompassed an area of current day Poland located east and slightly northeast of the city of Poznan.  It was German Prussian in the 1800's, and on the border between West Prussia and Poland or Russia.  In case anyone else is researching the HERZOG surname, the names I have are:
