zieske extended family research in prussia LISKO - ZIESKE Introduction Help Page Index Progress Reports Pictures Records/Genealogy E-Mail Me Previous Page Next Page |
This is a work in progress. Some information is verified, some is not. I try to indicate which. Please contact me at the Email address above with questions. We have two project goals: (1) Locate ancestors and Prussian church records for each of 4 Zieske and Zieski families; and (2) Learn if any or all of these families are extended family. Two of 4 families are already verified as one extended family. All four seem to be from Putzig, kreis Czarnikau, Posen, Prussia and surrounds. The Zieske Research Working Reports found at the links below include church records and discussion papers about possible connections between these Zieske. Four (4) Zieske extended Families (regardless of spelling: Cisk, Cysk, Ziske, Zieske, Zieski) are included in our Zieske Extended Family Research in Prussia project. Each of these 4 groups is identified below by the 1st four couples. The men in #2, #7, #8, #9 and #12 are possibly brothers. Couple #10 may be their parents. The other couples relate as described: 1. Michael Zieske born 1816 & Anna Christina Schulz; (verified uncle of #3 man) 2. Michael Zieski born about 1780 & Anna Maria Krenz; (1st likely parents of #4 man) 3. Michael Zieske born 1846 & Wilhemenia Sonnenberg; (verified Nephew of #1 man) 4. Wilhelm Zieske born abt 1831 & Wilhelmina Burk (Wilhelm arrived New York at age 22, Dec 1853) ____ 5. Gottlieb Zieske born 1813 & Anna Rosina Arnd (verified brother of #1 man; verified father of #3 man) 6. Wilhelm Matz born 1830 & Anna Rosina Arnd (See #5: This is Anna Rosina Arnd's second marriage in 1855) 7. Johann Zieske born about 1780 & Anna Christina Verchow (Ferchow) (verified parents of #1 and #5 men and of a third child, Wilhelmine born 1820) 8. Gottlieb Zieske born about 1800 & Anna Christina Koplin (2nd Likely parents of #4 man, if Wilhelm Zieske grew up in Putzig, kreis Czarnikau, Posen, Prussia) 9. Peter Zieske born 1797 & Anna Dorothea/Regina Dorothea Stelter (is a son of a Michael Zieske and an Elisabeth Polsfuß.These parents are very possibly the couple at #10 below. ) 10.Michael Cysk (=Cisk=Ziske=Zieske) baptized 28 Oct 1736 & Elisabeth Polsfuß (likely but unproven ancestral parents for Zieske men at #2, #7, #8, #9 and #12 and thus also ancestors of men at #1 and #3) 11. Paul Vercho born about 1735 & Anna Christina Kelm, married 1777 in Gross Kotten (Parents of #7. Anna Christina Verchow)(link includes genelaogy for Paul Vercho's first wife, name unknown) 12.
