Dear Friends
�
First of all I want to apologise for�using English instead of German, but my rather insufficient command of German language had been in the past a�rich source of misunderstandings.
�
I am looking for�any information on NOWAKOWSKI family living in the general area of Lautenburg/Soldau/Neidenburg�in the first half of 19th century, especially about the following ancestors:
�
1.) Josef (Joseph?) NOWAKOWSKI who lived�in 1862 in Borchersdorf near Soldau and�was married to Maria (Marie?) Kaczorek.
�
2.) Jacob (Jakob? Jacobus?) NOWAKOWSKI (most likely�the father of Josef) who lived in,�or�around Lautenburg (West Prussia) or Soldau (East Prussia)�in 1827 - 1829.
�
I would be grateful for any information, suggestion, or pointer.
�
With best regards
�

Hi Sebastian,
I am looking for any information on NOWAKOWSKI family living in the
general area of Lautenburg/Soldau/Neidenburg in the first half of
19th century, especially about the following ancestors:
I also have ancestors from Soldau (and surrounding villages), but,
unfortunately, I do not have any NOWAKOWSKI in my lists.
But I can give you some sources where you might get more information:
- Church of the Latter-Day-Saints ("Mormons"): they have some microfilms
of Soldau and also Borchersdorf. Please check the "Place Search" at
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp
- the states archive in Olsztyn, Poland, is the responsible archive for
the area around Soldau. You can check at
http://baza.archiwa.gov.pl/sezam/pradziad.php?l=en about available sources.
- the "Historische Masurische Vereinigung"
(http://www.historische-masurische-vereinigung.de/) This site is in
German only, but you might understand it as well. This organisation
collects data about people who lived in the Mazurian area from church
books and other sources, and store these data in the "GeAGNO" database.
You can send an enquiry to Mr Reinhard Kayss who is the responsible
person for "Kreis Neidenburg" (i.e. Soldau, Borchersdorf and others).
Regards,
Jan
