There is something fishy going on here:
It appears that Anna Litza/Lica was married before, as her maiden name was Piorek.
Hmmm … I’m not convinced about that statement. As far as I can see, Anna’s maiden name is always Lica (or a variation).
Maybe she’d been married to someone with the surname PIOREK? Unfortunately the missing parish books won't let me confirm that ...
Going back to Anton - he was born in 1799 in Rynkowka. Lived and died in Bukowiny and was buried in Fraca.
I thought that “your” Anton lived in Milewo (Neuenburg parish) i.e. abt 11 k’s from Bukowiny (Lalkau parish): When his kids are born in the 1840’s and 1850’s Anton lives in “Milewken” (= current town Milewo)
I am getting so much information, that I'm getting more and more confused.
My dna match, who appears to be a distant cousin, lives in Nowe, and is giving me information after getting parish records and documents from the registry office.
She is telling me that my great-grandfather, Johann Chyla, was born about 1844, and died in Milewo on 06 October 1874. He was married to Augusta Merker, who was born about 1845 and died on 09 July 1930.
As to Johann's father, my 2xgreat-grandfather, it looks as if he was born in Rynkowka in 1799, and lived and died in Bukowiny. How many names his wife had (my 2xgreat-grandmother) had - is work in progress. So far we've got Piorek, Litza, Lica - and I'm turning to drink................
When I uploaded my dna results to ancestry, the names Lica, Lauda and Balcer come back as my closest paternal matches.
As I said before, I can't thank you enough for the research you have done for me.
