[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Surname Schlodinski

[Christopher Menke]

Greetings All, 
 
This surname has piqued my interest for a few reasons. There were many Schlodinski's in Volhynia (Alexandria area) who married into families my family is related to: Stegmann and Latotzke in particular. Like my Manke family at least one thru marriage left Volhynia for Neche, North Dakota. 
 
The 2nd reason I am interested is in looking at microfilms from Culm, West Prussia where my Manke, Brandt, and Schroeder lines come from, I have seen that the Schlodinski's go way way back with the Schroeder's: as early as 1780 they were godparent's for each other's children. 
 
My 2 questions are: 
 
1. Is anyone else on the list looking at this name? 
 
2. Would Schlodinski be a germanized Polish name, or a polonized German name? 
 
Other spelling variations are Schlodinsky, Schlodenski, Schlodensky
 
Best Regards, 
   Chris Menke
