There are not any RESCHKE in the
evangelic registers of Gross Tuchen (Klein Tuchen belonged to the parish)
around this time. The pages for the
evangelic baptisms between 1843 and 1848 are destroyed, the Catholics are
available completely.
There are 2 birth records of RASCHKE,
Johann Friedrich 1849 and Carl Heinrich 1850, but they were from Neuhuetten and
Moddrow respectively.
Reconstructing
the birth dates from later records I have put together my best guess on the
actual birth dates of Martin and Ewa and their children:
Martin 1810-1819
Ewa 1821-1825
Augusta 1848-1850
Julius 1850-1852
Theodor March 3, 1853 Bytow, Pomerania
Frank July 10, 1856 Dywan, West PrussiaRobert March 2, 1859 Dywan, West Prussia
There was
a village of Gross Nossin, Pomerania now Nozyno, Poland north of Bütow
Birth
records were not found for Julius or Augusta, Martin and Eva’s two oldest
children in Tuchomie, Ugoszcz or Lipusz Parish.
The next
record is the baptism of Theodor Bernhard.
The record is for the church in Bytow, Theodor was baptized on March 28 and born on the 3rd. Underneath his name written in a different pen is "emigrated to America". This may be written here if he needed birth records in order to leave the county or if once in America had written and requested his birth records.
I believe this child to be Theodor Reschke who came to Pine Creek and was on the 1880 census living with and listed as the brother of Frank. Theodor later moved to Roseau County, Minnesota and died there and I suspect he is the half brother of Julius.
The birth record lists Martin Reschke zimmerman and Ewa Nosinska
In the appendix,
under Martin’s name there is a note: Thomas Andrew Reszka from Studnitz and
Eleanor (P,K,)Sgikuig (Pzikuiz, Szultz) from Hygendorf (Udorpie). I am not sure if this is a reference to Martin's Parents
