[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] kowalke=kowalski?

[William Remus]

A MB cousin who is a Kowalke once said that the 
Kowalke and Kowalski were roughly equivalent Polish 
and German names. So in his family tree he found 
ancesters listed both ways. Incidentally, a Kowal is a 
blacksmith. It is not uncommon to see that happen in 
many surnames. One ancestor of mine is Wessaloswki 
one time and Frohlich the next. Luckily both are "happy 
people."

Regards Bill Remus
(from the Remus family of Emerson MB)

European Surname(Kowalke)

I am searching for any information anyone may have 
regarding Micheal and
Julianna Kowalke from the Volhynia area.  Micheal 
came to Canada in 1908
with the whole family after living and working here on his 
own for a
couple years.  Four of their children were born in 
Volhynia and four were
born here in Manitoba in the Friedensfeld area.  Iam 
looking for
documentation of their families in Russia.  Julianna'a 
maiden name was
Betker.  If you have any info please respond.  Thanks.
