Is there anyone out there researching the name Schittek?  I have also seen the name Schuette and not sure if they are the same family name just different spelling in different countries.  I do know the name is East Prussian and this is what little family information I have:  Parents Paul Schittek and Catherine Weiho, their children were:  Minnie; Augusta who married Julius Kempka and came to the USA; Marie/Mary (my great grandmother) born February 4, 1872, married Edward Beier and came to the USA in 1908; Bertha who married August Wirzba; Martha; Darius; Julius (last heard of in Poland after WW II; and Emil who married Julia Taska and came to the USA. I understand that Paul and Catherine died on the march to Siberia in 1916 or 1917.  They were, of course, Germans in Russia probably in the Radmyshl area of Volhynia.

Hope someone is researching this family line.  The spelling Schuette is on my great grandmother's death certificate, but her brother Emil lists his last name as Schittek pronounced She-tek.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to read my inquiry.
