I found a site of interest to this group, as well as to me, called "One
Stone"
subtitled - "in the footsteps of the settlers in Kreis Thorn and more":
http://kamiennakamieniu.wordpress.com/
The site is in Polish, Google or Bing make it readable in English, if
needed.
There seems to be quite a bit to explore. Many photos of cemeteries, old
cottages,
maps and more.
There are quite a number of 'Achieves' on more pages, also a way to be
notified
of updates,
I found this site while searching for "Andreas Krampitz" who is mentioned
as a settler in the town of Cegielnik (or Cegielnia) which is, or was,
near thorn.

This article mentions a number of surnames that I recognized via
marriages
to (unrelated) Krampitz surnamed individuals.
Facts about My Brick Wall:
I have the wedding document from 1794, in Leibitsch, where Andreas
Krampitz,
the father of the groom, is present at the marriage of his eldest son,
Jacob,
my 3xGreat GF, to Anna Maria Fehlau. (or Fehlauin).
No wife of Andreas (mother of Jacob) is mentioned, I assume she had
passed.
Anna's father, Gottlieb Fehlauer is mentioned as a 'schoolmaster' in
Silno
Jacob & Anna went on to have 4 children in Jackowo, near Czernikowo,
those
births were found in the indexes of the Czernikow Parish at:
http://www.szpejankowski.eu/index.php/metryki-wykazy-osob/102-indeksacja.html
My Brick Wall:
I cannot find the births of Jacob or his other siblings or anything of
Andreas.
The article puts a Andreas Krampitz in Cegielnik (named Ziegelwies in
the early 1800 map in the article), which is near Thorn. Then later
in Jackowo
and later generations moving toward Lipno. I now believe I need to be
looking
in the areas North of Thorn for those records.
Based on those village names, anyone have knowledge of the churches I
should be
researching for those records?
All help, clues & pointers appreciated
