[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] RES: Bleschke Name

[Vera Miller]

Hello 
Eduardo,
I would need to know where your relatives came from in Prussia.
My Bleschke family comes from Schwiebus, Bialystok County, Lodz and Kaliningrad.
I question how my great-great-grandmother's brother, Otto Bleschke, had only 2 children in the late 19th century. I may need to research Kaliningrad whether there were more children.
I have a mystery cousin, Willie Bleschke. He died in his 20s and left behind a wife and a child. A brother was born in Lodz and other siblings were born in Bialystok. So I could have more cousins from Willie who maybe came from Lodz.

> In the books of the evangelical (German) Parish of Łabiszyn I found a few Blech. There the names are written in German with no polonization.
> Ble(s)ch-ke would be the "little" (junior) Blech. Blaschke would be the polonized version of Blesch. Blech comes from the German word bleich and may describe a persons appearance (having a pale skin).
