[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Bill Remus-Labischin emigre'

[Otto]

Evening Bill,
We keep crossing paths-

Unless you have documentation links on the 'Haarwardt' surname prior  
to Labischin, I would give consideration to Earl's comment on the  
similarity of Haarwardt and Haarbardt (with spelling variations.)  
(documentation will negate the following)

The time period was one of turmoil and change.  Prussian 2nd  
Partition 1795, Napoleon 1806, Russians 1813.  All three events  
involved conscription of able-bodied and not so able-bodied men for  
the military. It mattered not which political entity was in power.  
Name spellings changed, names were changed and alias's were used.

I find some Labischin dwellers/relatives migrated up the Vistula/ 
Weichse/Wislal to the Ilow Parish, to the Neuhof/Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki  
Parish, To Pultusk Parish, To Nasielsk Parish, then some (2nd gen.)  
drifted westward to Praschnitz Parish and further to Sierpc Parish.   
One relative from Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki Parish, Michael Schienke oo  
Roselia Neumann moved to Volhynia and I lost track of him at  
Tartschinka.

The surname "Haar-wardt":
Dutch 'Haar' = Hill.   German 'Haar' = Hair.
Dutch 'wardt = guard?   German Wardt = wart?

Some possibles: Dutch 'Hill-guard'   German 'Hair-wart'

Haar-bardt in German:'Hair-beard'
I'll opt for this latter spelling.

You will find Harbarts in some of those parishes and the dates are  
favorable.

Harbarts's are part of the Cleveland, Ohio clan.
I can still visualize old Fritz Harbart puffing on his big cigar when  
I was 5 years old.
. . .  Otto
