A journey to the origins of today's Poland's EPDING
During my research I found out that there are living relatives in Poland. And I came across a Zielinskie Mariusz, who lives in Bezin, Poland. He wrote that he has information about our family. So we were on our way. We drove across the Czech Republic in Ostrava, our first stop in Poland, then it was off to Rypnik, where we stayed. The next day we went to Cerwionka-Leszczyhy looking around for us to Bezin Mariusz. We systematically searched the place, until we finally found him in Bezin. We were very cordial reception, and despite language difficulties, we asked for the relatives. Unfortunately, it turned out that Mariusz is from a branch of Zielinskies who is not related to us. Since there was no agreement, no new data could also be added to the family tree "oh well".
Disappointed, we drove to Lodz and to Thorn.
For the next day a tour of Kulmsee (Chelmza) and Kulm (Chelmno) was planned. Once there, we were only at the lake and then it went into the old town of Kulmsee who impressed us with their very structures. Then we continued towards Kulm. On the way there we were still in their places Segertsdorf (Zergatowice) Unilsaw (Unislaw), Klein Trebis (Trzebczyk), Waltersdorf (Waterowo) to see where our ancestors lived. This fertile region they operated agriculture and animal husbandry, went to their craft. What will they have probably moved to leave their homeland?
In Kulm, we found the house had in the Alwin Epding from 1913-1945 his barber shop (see also page “family Poncet”). Here are our ancestors lived 150 years ago, moved to the nearby towns, and later to East Prussia, Königsberg, Widminnen city Lotzen (Wydminy), Germany, Belgium, Canada, USA and Australia.
