These books document the history of the villagers in Klein Rambin starting around the early 1800s. These were especially interesting to me, as my family originated in this village. It would seem that Michael Gehrke was the Schulz in Klein Rambin before Ernst Carl Gottlob Weiland (also spelled “Weyland”) took over the role following his death, also marrying his widow who was born Anne Christine Klitzke. It is my opinion that Michael Gehrke must have been closely related to Anna (Christine?) Louise Gehrke, who was married to Johann Pollnow’s son, Georg Friedrich Pollnow. I am also of the belief that the teacher Otto Ferdinand Gehrke in Groß Rambin must have been closely associated with the Schulz Michael Gehrke because he was mentioned in the Grundakten of the Bauerhof No. 1. Otto Ferdinand Gehrke lived in Dubbertech in 1818, was a Schullehrer in Groß Rambin in 1825, and was still teaching in 1856 at which time he was 68 years old. He was a solider for eight years during the Napoleonic Wars and was the Taufpate of Luise Dorothea Starke’s child born in Battin in 1825–as he was also married to Friederike Starke (widowed Buchholtz) after being widowed following Marie Sophie Henriette Manke’s death. These books in particular cover the descendants of the Gehrke and Pollnow families and those with whom they associated, like the Lemke family who moved there from Siedkow.

I founded this website to help others make connections with their genealogy. I've been at my own family history since 2014 and have made significant progress since then. My hope is to one day determine where my family name came from. In the years since I started my genealogy, I've become something of an expert on the resources and history of Pomerania. I'd like to share what I've learned with you to help you on your own journey to discover your heritage. With the right information and enough patience, I believe researchers like us can break down the barriers to our family histories and make more freely available so others can trace their families as well. Let's work together to rebuild the stories of our ancestors!
