Viktor Dorschke/Drozdziok (1889-1969)

[briankaess]

My Great-Grandfather was Viktor Dorschke/Drozdzok (1889-1969). His 'heimat' was (Brzezie) Hohenbirken, Landkreis Ratibor, Upper Silesia. He married Marie Kokott on Nov 10 1914 in the Catholic parish of Markowitz, Upper Silesia. His name is also spelled Drosdzok in the records.

The Father of Marie Kokot appears to be Karl Kokott.

The parents of Victor Dorschke may be Franz Drozdzok and Marianna Mandrisch. The Mother of Marie Kokott may be Marianna as well.

I am looking for info on Franz Drozdziok/Drozdzok, who was a Father to Victor Dorschke/Drozdziok (1889-1969). Franz was a retired Farmer from Hohenbirken, Upper Silesia. He was also known as Franciszek and his wife was Marianna. He lived in the 2nd half of the 19th century in what is now Southern Poland.
I have info from a 1914 Marriage record in Markowitz but not much more

Franz was born in Brzezie?

Yes, Franz was born September 24, 1849 in Brzezie. Viktor was married in Markowitz. Here is a link to the 1914 Marriage record- there are two pages.

My ggr.father Viktor Drozdzok (later Dorschke) is listed in a newspaper account (at Gedbas) as missing (Vermisst) from his unit on 1919-04-02. His unit is mentioned as Infanterie-Regiment 395 and the Liste as Preussen 1403. I know he lived until 1969. Can anyone elaborate further on any of these military details or add more? Perhaps there are Silesian records that document the call-up?

Brian
