My Schwonke family ancestors lived in Gross Palubin, Kreis Berent, West Prussia. They attended the Evangelical church in Neu Paleschken. My great-grandfather Julius Schwonke left Gross Palubin in 1881 and emigrated to Rochester, New York, USA.
My questions:
Is the present Catholic church in Nowe Polaszki (formerly Neu Paleschken) the same building as the former Evangelical church?
Does anything remain of the German cemetary in Czerniki (formerly Czernikau)?
Thank you,
