Genealogy / German war memorial in the Upper Silesian village of Biestrzynnik (Biestrzinnik-Ringwalde) [18]

Hi

Sorry, my english is bad. I can only German or Polish..
Google Transleter helps :)

I have a great grandfather: Stefan Warzecha, born on 25/12/1858 in Biestrzynnik. His father, Johann Warzecha, born 08/29/1813 died on 30.031886. His mother, Franziska Warzecha (born Mazur) born 5.071817, died in 1892

I have 3 photos taken when the mother was still alive, so it must have been before 1892. I can send you by mail.

Maybe we're related? :)

regards

Hello
I hope you understand my english ..
Your Warzecha looks similar to mine related :)

I spoke with my mother yesterday. She says the woman in the photos is not the mother of Stefan Warzecha, but the sister. So the photos are not as old as I thought. They have been made ​​from 1920 to 1930. There's my grandmother Anna Warzecha and she was born in 1908.

You can see the little old house of the family.

Stefan Warzecha is born in 1858 and his mother was already 41 years old. So he had many (how many I do not know) older siblings. One brother lived on the farm in Biestrzynnik, a brother and sister Jule (Julia?, Not married) in Zabrze (Hindenburg)

I started looking for the related recently. Next year I'm going to Silesia and I will also go to Biestrzynnik. Hopefully I find there old people who still knew the family Warzecha

regards

Foto 1: left: Stefan Warzecha, above his son Thomas and the two women are sisters from Stefan Warzecha?

Foto2: right: Stefan Warzecha, left: his brother (? first name) , in the middle of a sister of Stefan, which themselves face :) the man above is unknown

Foto 3: Below, from left: unknown man, sister, Stefan Warzecha
Above from left: unknown woman, unknown man, Thomas Warzecha (son of Stefan), brother of Stefan (first name unknown), Jule Warzecha from Hindenburg, Anna Warzecha (my grandmother) and an unknown man

sorry photos were too big. I hope that is okay now

And this is the family of Stefan Warzecha: Agnes, his wife and 6 children. They had 11 children but 3 died and only eight have survived. The smallest daughter in the middle is Anna - my granny.

something else :)
In the address-book of 1926 on page 149 is Stefan Warzecha from Schodnia. Now I've searched Biestrzynnik and on page 43 I have 3 Warzecha found: Bartholomew, Franz and Paul..

wiki-de.genealogy.net/w/index.php?title=Datei%3AAdressbuch_Oppeln_1926.djvu&page=43

In the next days I call my mama in Poland. She should search for in the phonebook if still Warzecha are in Biestrzynnik. Poland does not have a phone book online .. only paper book..

Nowogrodziec (have forgotten the former German name of the town, sorry)

Nowogrodziec to dawniej Naumburg.. :)

this website, that has pictures of Silesia.

The site I know. I have many photos. My family likes photographed :) and when I have sorted everything I put the photos on the page.

Do you know what kind of uniform Stefan Warzecha is wearing in the last picture?

He was on the railroad. He is on foot! went to work to Opole. This is 18 km .. :)
He loved his work (I think) and that is why he is on private pics in railway uniform.

There are many Warzechas and Johann Warzecha is a very common name. From my family I know that used to be the eldest son was given the same name as the Father and with the women that was that. Stefan and Agnes Warzecha have their first children Stefan and Agnes called ..

I have found that in Biestrzynnik on 01/19/1813 a Peter Warzecha (born 1783, his father was Johann gardener) a Margaretha Gohly, has 18 years old from Sczedrzik married. As a witness to a Paul Warzecha was ..

Maybe the Johann except Peter also has a son Johann?

I'm closer to Biestrzynnik as Zebowice :) The same community and church.
I sent my friend a link of this thread. My friend is also from the area and has for years been in search of his ancestors. Maybe he can help you better.

Hi
I have found 2x the name Paul Warzecha. You have not fallen as soldiers, but died in the camp near Katowice 1945.
Unfortunately, the age does not fit: they are 53 and 54 years old ..
