Hello,
My maiden name is Kosisher and finding where the name originated is almost impossible.I have certificates of death and other
documents but they all state Germany or Austria. I cannot find a village or town.
The first name of my Grandfather was Leopold and his father was also Leopold. On a manifest to the US in 1882 there was
Leopold Kashela and a son Leopold. It also stated wife Caroline and children Albina and Valentine. If Albina means Agnes
this could be the right family.
On the LDS site I found the name Koschela from Damnik,Schlesien ,Preussen
Where is that now ? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You
I do not know German. Jean
