[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Seeking Info on Wilhelm Titchkosky

[Jerry Frank]

This is certainly a tough one to figure out.

By setting the search for all surnames beginning with T and born at Alex, I found even more variant spellings for Titchkosky and even more children for the couple referenced below.  We also find the confirmation record for this Wilhelm.  

There is also a Wilhelm T. having children in the Nowograd Wolhynsk parish in 1893 which could possibly be the one born in 1868.

There is no one with a wife's name similar to Weinoth.  There is no question that Alexandrow is where most of the people with this surname lived.  Several families but no exact matches.

Too many questions, not enough answers.

Jerry
