Hallo Herr Meininger!

in: OSTDEUTSCHE FAMILIENKUNDE, Zeitschrift für Familiengeschichtsforschung,
Band XVI. 51. Jahrgang, Okt.-Nov. 2003, Heft 4, wurden auf den Seiten
449-468
von Ulrich SCHMILEWSKI u. Marianne STANKE veröffentlicht:
"Bürgeraufnahmen der ostpreußischen Stadt FRAUENBURG in den
Jahren 1774 bis 1850".

Auf den "ersten" Blick fand ich keinen PAWLIKOWSKI.
Leider liegt mir der Artikel (Heft 4) nur ohne Namenverzeichnis vor.
So ist die Suche sehr mühsam. Besitzt jemand ein Namenverzeichnis
zum Artikel bzw. zum 51. Jahrgang (Heft 4) u. kann mir das Verzeichnis
senden?

Eine Übertragung derselben Quelle habe ich in der APG NF 52. (2004), Bd. 34, auf den Seiten 7-104 publiziert. Zum ganzen APG-Band gibt es ein Namenregister (bezüglich Pawlikowski übrigens Fehlanzeige).
Warum die Veröffentlichung von Schmilewski/Stanke aus meiner Sicht überhaupt nichts taugt, habe ich in der APG NF 53. (2005), Bd. 35, auf den Seiten 494-495 dargelegt.

Viele Grüße

Hello Andreas and Carsten!

Thank you for looking! My great great grandfather left East Prussia and came to the USA with his family under an alias after being accused of a crime. I have the following police report from a Berlin newspaper in Feb. 1857:

(Pawlikowski.) Der, wegen mehrj. Unterschlagungen amtlicher Gelder u falscher Buchf�hrung unter Anklage gestellte, fr�here haupt=Steueramts=Assistant Jul. Alexander Pawlikowski, von hier, ist anj der Transport aus der Schweiz hierher, unweit Deutsch=Crone, am 24. d. M. entsprungen. Geb ort Frauenburg, Alter 38 J., Gr. 5'5", haar d. brown, Augen brown u Sprache deutsch, litthauisch u polnisch. Tilsit 30 Jan 57

Does this mean that he was living in Tilsit or was that where the head of the government was? Is it possible that the police record still exists? If so do you know where I should write? Perhaps it might give me more information about who is family was.

Once in the USA he became a captain in the Civil War and in those papers he said he was born in Frauenburg.

The only other information that is known about his life in East Prussia is that he married Anna Christina Louise Gallen on Oct. 6. 1848 in Angerburg. They had a son, Carl Alexander Wilhelm Pawlikowski, who was born there on Nov. 12, 1849. Anna had a sister Johanna Wilhelmine Mathilde Gallen who married Eduard Wilhelm Fernand v. Young. According to their will in 1902 in Berlin, he was a baron. Anna and Johanna were the daughters of Dr. Carl Gottlieb Gallen, the regiment physician and Johanna Carolina Toltzig (sometimes spelled Tholzig Tolzig, Tholtzig and Thoelzig). They married and died in Angerburg. Carl (Teofil) Gottlieb Gallen won the Virtuti Militari medal, which has been authenticated and is still in our family. Johanna was the daughter of Charlotte Luise Latz (d.1795/Angerburg) and Ignatius von Toltzig(d. 1809/Angerburg), the heir of Dlugikont. Johanna had a sister, Louise Charlotte Toltzig who married Ernst August Otto Biermann who was the Royal Treasurer in Angerburg. The parents of Ignatius was Sigismund v. Toltzig and Sophie v. Rogalla - Bieberstein.

I apologize for writing in English!

Take care,

Betty,

Unfortunately, the short newspaper report is not very favorable. It says,

Jul[ius] Alexander PAWLIKOWSKI from here [i.e. of Tilsit], a former
"Hauptsteueramtsassistent" [i.e. a lower-ranking civil servant with the
internal revenue service], charged with long-term embezzlement of public
money and the forging of accounts, escaped near Deutsch-Crone on [January]
24th, [1857] during his transportation from Switzerland. Place of birth:
Frauenburg; age: 38 yrs.; height: 5' 5''; brown hair; brown eyes; speaks
German, Lithuanian and Polish.
Tilsit, January 30th, [18]57 [i.e. the date of this news].

Remarks: J.A. Pawlikowski would not have held an officer rank in the
Prussian Army, but might well have served as a sergeant. This seems to be
obvious because of his position as a civil servant.

Regards,

Rolf-Peter

Hi Rolf!

Thank you! I agree, it is not a favorable report. He was accused of something very serious, especially in those days. The translation of the old terminology that I have been given in the past is slightly different, but close! ("The former finance office assistant Jul. Alexander Pawlikowski from here, who was charged because of misappropriation of public funds and false book keeping, fled during the transport from Switzerland to here, not far from Deutsch-Crone on the 24th of this month. Place of birth Frauenburg, age 38 years height 5`5", hair brown, eyes brown, languages German, Lithuanian, Polish)Tilsit, 30th January 57"

When he came to this country he was made a Captain in the Union based on his previous military experience. That was not issued lightly but he could have lied....The big question is that given the times and the well documented position of his wife and her family, what exactly was his position? Who were his parents and are there any Frauenburg records "out there?"

Take care,
BJ

Hi Betty,

Yes, he must indeed have been a bookkeeper for his office.

Regarding the military, of course, ranks were not issued lightly by the
Union government. However, there is, among others, the example of the
Prussian army captain von Steuben, who, upon his arrival in America claimed
he was a general and got a general's position in George Washington's army.
Of course, this had happened about 100 years earlier, but obviously
"promotions" were possible.

Regards,

Rolf-Peter
