My very first blog was Aunt Emma, wife to Paul Kramer and at the time I knew he was related and told that Paul was a first cousin to my grandpa, I just needed to know exactly how. I just got his death certificate and now I know his parents names. The death certificate says his parents are Anthony Kramer and Marianna Gros both born in Penskow, Germany. My next step is finding out where that is so I went to Kartenmeister.com to look up Penskow. The current town name is unknown but it is in the Kriese of Filehne. This is now Wielen, Poland and is directly north of where my ggrandpa Valentine Kramer was born. His brother Anton Kramer was also born there on 1 Jan 1859 and was baptized in the Sierakow Parish. According to Valentine's obituary in 1933, he was survived by a brother Anton Kramer and a sister Franciszka Noj that remained in Poland. My next step was checking the Poznan marriage project and yes, the following marriage is listed there.
Catholic parish in Piłka [Schneidemühlchen], entry # 20 in 1884
Antonius Kramer (25)
Marianna Graś (20)
This age fits for my Anton and the wife's name looks like a hit too. I just need to order this film and hopefully I'll find Paul's birth. I also noticed on the Poznan marriage project that this area is full of marriages with the Noj, Noji, Noy surname so I'm pretty confident I'll find Franciszka's marriage in this area too. It'll be interesting to see how many new loops I find. Both my mom's maternal and paternal lines are in this area and while working on a tree at dynastree I see a lot of the Graś and Noj surnames that tie into the tree but so far none directly to my Kramers.
I also need to find 2 other Kramer siblings. Mary Kramer born about 1855 probably around Chojno, she married Henry Bonk in Poland and their first 4 children were born there so I need to find the marriage and births too. Also Helena Kramer that married Christian Prajs, according to her obituary her birth was 20 Nov 1871. I need to find her birth, their marriage and their daughter Mary's birth in Poland. I did not find their births in the Sierakow Parish so they have to be somewhere near these areas. Then I'd like to find the marriage of their parents, Szymon Kramer & Mary Przewozniak. If you've seen these records, please please let me know.
