[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Re: PiotrkowTrybunalski(Petrikau Poland)

[William Remus]

May I be a bit more optimistic than Howard in finding family records 
in this area of Poland than in his reply below. In the case of my 
family, the oral record said "near Piotkow" and I so waited for many 
years knowing that the records at Piotkow were not available. It 
turned out they lived in the German Colony associated with 
Stanislowow Studinski near Piotkow but actually nearer Rawa. 
Further I assumed that even then I could not find them since the 
Lutheran records no longer exist...

But

In such villages, even Lutherans attended Catholic Churches for 
important events like baptisms and marriages so the marriage of 
Christian Hoffman and Rosina Kurowski is recorded in those 
church books as were the baptism of their first children. Then they 
left for Volhynia in 1833. The records are on LDS microfilm for 
Czerniewiec Parish - the parish where Stanislowow was located. 
And there are Christian and Rosina's brothers and sisters too.

However I initially thought Rosina Kurowski must have been an 
unknown first wife since his known wife in Volhynia was Rosina 
Hahn. But (Hahn=hen in German) and (Kura=hen in Polish with a 
Polanizing owski for good measure) so the mystery was solved - 
one wife with two names.

Next, where did Christain Hoffmann and Rosina Hahn come from 
since they seemed to have mysteriously arrived in Stanislowow. 
The Catholic records at Czerniewiec Catholic Church referred to 
records at the Rawa courthouse - which now are in the Polish 
archives nearest  Stanislowow. (When you moved to a new area, 
you had to provide witnesses and documentation to who you were 
and where you came from.) There the records said Christian was 
from Krolikow in Grudziec Parish and Rosina from Nekla near 
Studno. And the parents of both were provided.  And all those 
records are on LDS microfilm.

Moral: Dont give up on Piotkow  .....
