Koch, Kostbar, Kormann surnames from Paproc - Can someone tell me where this is Poprotz, Poland?

Can someone tell me where this is now (what is it called now?) or where it was in 1930's. I have family that were from here.

Thanks.

Check out Paproc. There's a place called that in Wielkopolska and also in Podlasie. But gien the Germanicized spelling Poprotz, the Wielkopolska one is more likely. Both have Wikipedia pages.

Thank you jonni,...Do you know where I could find any birth records or christening records from this area paproc?
My grandparents surnames were koch and kostbar

I'd try the Parish Church, assuming they were Catholic. If not, the records office in the nearest big town might be the best bet.

edit

Be careful - there may have been quite a few places called that.

I found this page:
sggee.org/research/parishes/parish_histories/WarsawDiocese/PaprocParis h/PaprocResearch.html

There is a paproc parish map 1939
It shows Koch on one map but my grandfathers name was Julius, that one read Johann could be a brother maybe.

I think this is the area jonni you have been really helpful as this looks like it was a german settlement

Ok thanks,...they were Lutheran

When I went to the Paproc parish page on the sggee.org site
it listed a village called:
Groß Paproć

I think I remember seeing this on my uncles obit in the paper

KOCH: German or Yiddish for cook

KOSTBAR: German ior Yiddish for precious, costly, valuable

"Koch" and "kostbar" are both not yiddish but only boring German....

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yiddish_phonology#Comparison_with_German

Then what is Yiddish for cook and precious?

Transliterate into Lation alphabet, please!

My dictionary came up with 'kucher ' and 'teier '. There may be other variants - there are several dialects of Yiddish.

I'm searching for the Family Kostbar, too. I know they lived in the area of Paproc.
my grand grandfather's surname was Kostbar, his first Name was Johann. He was born in Paproc and he married in Paproc his wife Adele Kormann.

Can you help me or someone else to find out more Information?!

Thanks.
