Hello Tim,
What I wrote in the last Mail is easy to tell. Someone asked me about Matzkirch,
a village near Bauerwitz in Oberschlesien, where my ancestors came from. He has
ancestors in Tscheidt near Matzkirch with the name NOWAK. You can find Tscheidt
in the church-records of Matzkirch, because this church was responsible for
Tscheidt and some other villages.Some of my relatives are still living in
Matzkirch and some places around it. And there are some NOWAKs living. But I
can't get any link to them because my great-grandfather came from Bauererwitz
and the church-records of Bauerwitz are not available. So I told him: If you are
looking for NOWAK in Tscheidt and you presume a connection between my and your
Nowaks, your Nowaks must be related to HEIDE, LACHETA (LACHETTA), MODLA or
KURKA. What I can say is: My great-grandfather Joseph Nowak married Antonia
Lachetta in 1853. He came from Bauerwitz and Antonia was born in Matzkirch.But
there are three other names left which can give reason for a relationship:
PENDZIALEK ,CIENSZKOWSKI and MENDE
Regards
Uli Nowak
