I ran across this website looking for information on my family, last name Pitzke. I was told my great great great grandfather(George Fredrick William Pitzke), I think is what he would be, immigrated to the US-he lived in Rugenwalde, Prussia. If anyone has any information PLEASE email me. Thank you.

Anna…….They spoke German, had German customs immigrated to a Geman town of Hanover ,Ontario, Canada…so they came from Prussia whats the problem now lets be more helpful, quit the politics and tell me more about the Jucksch- Kettschlag in Gross Gandern. Or anything before it became Gadkow Wielki, Poland. Danke….Ernie Jukes from Canada

Unfortunately It seems some people are more concerned with the politics of Prussia vrs Poland. When Family Jucksch immigrated to Canada it was Germany.in an area once known as Prussia. Will someone over there please help me find any record of their background in the dorf of Gross Gandern now called a Polish name. They spoke German and their is no history of anything Polish. We of course can not help that but still deserve a bit of help as we would do so in the reverse situation. Thats what Canadians are like! E. Jukes
