Genealogy / Julianna Schlagowski and Friedrich Kornatz, Prangenau - Genealogy help [14]

Merged: Question about my surname

When my great-grandfather came to America in 1849, he recorded his name as "Slagowski". I'm thinking that, in Poland, the name is correctly spelled either "Ślagowski" or "Szlagowski". According to moikrewni.pl/mapa there are 8 people in Poland named "Slagowski", 30 people named "Ślagowski", and 325 people named "Szlagowski".

Do you think I have reason to believe that all three names could be part of the same family?

Genealogy / Looking for contacts in Rogozno-Zamek [2]

My great-grandfather is from Rogozno-Zamek. He emigrated in 1855. Rogozno-Zamek is 9 km north-east of Grudziadz. Grudziadz is about 40 km north-east of Bydgoszcz. My great-grandfather's name was Xaverius Franciscus Slagowski (Szlager/Slager). His father's name was Nicolaus Slagowski (Szlager/Slager). My name is James (Jakub) Slagowski.

I hope to visit Rogozno-Zamek within the next few years. Before that, however, I'd like to develop a few contacts there (or as close as possible to that location) - someone who would be willing to answer questions that I may have as I do my research.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to contact people there, or in that area? Any input is appreciated. Feel free to respond in English or Polish.
