Hello Wowieck,

I have just been reading your posts - when a person is cremated in the UK most crematoriums have gardens of remembrance in which the ashes can be scattered.They do provide name plaques or flower vases or even trees, but the family has to pay or in some cases rent the memorial on 10 ...

Hello Piotrek

You have followed the correct procedure. The Polish Inquiries Northolt are very efficient. My father Jan Kathke joined the Polish Resettlement Corps. 1944-1946. When it was disbanded he stayed here in Britain. Hope you found all the information you were looking for. I thought you ...

Hello Ewa,

Thank you for your reply I have seen entries on an LDS film of Chojnice and also on Ancestry.com for a Joseph Kathke, but unfortunately I have not been able to make any connections. I will keep trying and let you know if I make further progress.

Best regards, Arnes

Does anyone have any relatives that served with the Polish Resettlemt Corps (under British Army command ) in Scotland 1944-46.

I have a few photo's of my father Jan Kathke, with other serving Polish soldiers, during that time.

Hello Tony - Noticed that you had added to your posted note. Another tip that might help is to replace it with a new posting showing your grandfathers surname in the title - so as people scan the page they will immediately see the name Wojciechowski. Have you any info to add re your grandmothers ...

Hello, I do not think you have shown your grandfathers surname, if posted this may generate potential responses from others researching the same or similar names. I have found this site useful and have also used the LDS ( Latter Day Saints ) web sites, also Pomorskie Towarzystwo Genealogiczne.

I ...

Dear Bartek,

I see from the Pomeranian Genealogical Association site that Bobowo, Bobowo Usc ? and Bobowo Filia ? have been indexed for Births Marriages and Deaths. The dates I needed have been covered., but no Kathke's or Katka's. This saved me sending for the films.

I am still waiting for the ...

Dear Bartek,
Thank you for your time and recomendations to help me, I have now ordered 840110 and 840111 for marriages.
I have checked Osiek Starogard Gdanski and found births started 1836-1883. I just didn't know early records were in Bobowo. I have sorted out film 162336 for Bobowo early births ...

Hello Bartek_M,

Thank you for your reply and view. I have sent for the early records for Wyrzwsk ( Wirsitz ) starting 1637 for b m d from my local LDS Family History Centre. Someone else suggested I might try Wysoka ( Starogard Gdanski ) but no early records seem to exist only civil records 1874-82 ...

My ancestor Mathias Katka is listed in the 1772-3 West Prussian Land Record Site. The village is Wyssocka and the government office is Ossieck.

Where would I find the church records for this village. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Daniel,

According to my polish map there is a small parish called Rogotworsk to the east of Malachowo. I checked on the LDS records for Rogotworsk and it doesn't mention Setropie. I agree that it could well be under this parish (Rogotworsk).

I have had to "guess" which film to send for on a ...
