The Sierotzki Tree Is Growing (Stephanz Family)

As you know, I have been kind of stuck on Augusta Julie Reikowski’s grandparents. Augusta and Johann Schwittkowski (Hennig) are my 2nd great grandparents. I know that her parents are Johanna Sierotzki and Johann P. Reikowski. From my PTG Website, the Pomeranian Genealogical Association, it states in Gdańsk Matarnia 1842, Anna Marianna was born to Franz Szirotzki and Elisabeth Gronkowna.

You have to understand, without wonderful people to index all these records, we wouldn’t have access to them online. As you have seen from documents I have posted before, some handwriting is very hard to read, especially when it is written in a foreign language. Sometimes, we get lucky and you have beautiful handwriting that is easily translated by my FB group.

We now have Johanna Sierotzki’s parents, Franz Sierotzki and Elisabeth Grenkowitz. Oh, and her brother and grandparents too! There are also other siblings on the PTG site, but I haven’t researched them yet.
