Thank you I knew Sikora it is a kind of bird. and I knew Krowiorz was to do with cows somehow. Its great to be sure of these.

Also I have found a couple of lost cousines in the USA so far from the Krowiorz side.

Great to have this web site for help.

Found it.

Glausche, Schlesien, Germany
Now is = Gluszyna,Namyslowski,Opolskie, Poland

All my relatives on my fathers side are from Schlesien and I am starting to find records for the areas. I now have some back to the mid 1700's. Not bad since all i had to start with was a couple of great grand parents names. from the late 1800's.

This is why I need to be sure which town I am looking for.

History / Life in Partitioned Poland (Specifically in the Prussian Partition) [118]

Still as every country did and still does, there could only be one official language...

Canada has 2 ..French and English

It is funny how everyone talks of Germany or Polland and how they love to teach there own history..Yet Silesia is wiped from the face of the map.

Are you that naive? If your country disappears from the map, you're taught in German at school, you're thaught German history from the German point of view, you have to speak in German to your classmates, pray in German at religion classes, deal in offices in German... In a second or third generation - how much there's left of your "Polishness"?

If we cahnge the german to polish and the Polishness to Silesianess.

We have what?
