[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Seeking Info on Wilhelm Titchkosky

[Jerry Frank]

Terry,

In all the SGGEE databases, I can only find only 2 variations of your surname - Titschkowski and Titzkowski.

Since you are now a member, you can search them on your own.  

Either Friday or Saturday would be good days to attend if you can only manage a single day.  Be prepared however.  If you attend one day, you might get so excited that you will want to stay for the next.  <grin>  The Convention page now shows a list of speakers and their topics for each day so that might help you decide.  Bring your laptop and database.  Bring along any hard copies you may have of family documents, copies from family Bibles, etc. even if you don't think they provide much info.  They might hold clues that someone else might recognize.  There will be people there with Internet access who will be able to help you through any of the databases if you have any problems.

Jerry
