THE CZERNIAK FAMILY OF PRZEDECZ, KLODAWA, KOLO, IZBICA…[SUBMITTED BY BERNIE FREEDMAN 3/2/08] The photos taken [ABOVE] in 1860 and 1862 shows Wolf Czerniak and Sarah Leah Zolka with their two youngest children,just prior to leaving Klodawa and two years later in England. The family changed their name to Cohen on arrival. Other siblings left Poland between 1850—1890, and then to Australia between 1870 and 1910. Large families in Sydney and Melbourne resulted and in 1995 a family gathering of 200 descendants was held in Sydney. Using the Mormon church BMD records the Polish family tree was researched which showed families living in the above towns, from 1770 to 1890.Seven members born between 1762 and 1782, and twenty one members born between 1791 and 1830,all lived and married in the above towns. To assist in finding family connections I attach the tree of the Czerniak family during this period.... Bernie Freedman. [FAMILY TREE WILL BE POSTED SOON.]
FROM LEN LEVIN 6/15/07: Hi Judy, My maternal grandfather, Hyman Nichinsky, came to England from Klodawa late in the 1880s, changing his name to Cohen His anglicized parents' names were Lewis & Annie. Lewis, a tailor & retired soldier, is reputed to have been murdered by cossacks, so Annie , her daughter Eva & the 4 other sons followed Hyman to England . Eva , Harry & Barnet lived out their lives in England, while Hyman & Joe went to live in Australia, & Marks went to Canada. I gave the family tree details to Elaine Herrett, who gave me your email address, also to Honey Bot in Toronto. My g-grandmother was also from Klodawa. She was Hyman's mother-in-law, & her name was Yetta Cymber, ((or Simber). I have a tree of her parents & siblings, if this is of value to you. She married in Klodawa Jacob Czerniak from neighbouring Przedecz. Regards Len Levin.
