I was once told the more usual Polish version is with a Z Krauze.  I have been unable to trace any of my Great grandfathers siblings descendants after 1940 in the Chelm, Lubelskie area of Poland (near Ukraine).  My life's mission is to find them some alive descendants, but I don't really know how to.  None of them seem to be doing any research, they of course may of all been wiped out by the war, or they may no longer know their history if they fled and older family members died.
