Theodor Reschke

I am not able to locate the records of Martin’s children Julius and Augusta from his first marriage.  The records may be found in Butow, Parish. The evangelic parish registers of Butow are lost but, the catholic records 1836-1945 may still available, but are not indexed yet. 

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 Prussia
Robert          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 3^rd.  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
