[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Derkes of Drewal/Drwaly, Poland

[Jürgen Bomert]

Morning Linda,

may be, it can get of interest for You.
The family Theodor and Natalie Doerk had been lease-holder (the owner was
Baron Ike) of a water mill in Nowy Duninov (few miles west of Plock, on the
other riverside). He died in 1945, she in the first years of the WW II. They
were friends of my greatgranduncle. Descendens (daughter in law ist 86 years
old) of them live today in Germany (Heckingen, Münden).

Hi Linda,
   
  A name of Derkes is very rare in Poland. So, probably all Derkes's are
related to each other.
   
  There is a village of Drwaly located a few miles to NE of Plock in Poland.
I found in a phone directory information on a Derkes from Rempin which is
located a few miles from Drwaly.

  Hi:

I am a new subscriber to the Society and have been reading all the
correspondence and find it very interesting and informative. 

My grandfather, Julius Edward Derkes, was born in Drewal/Drwaly Poland,
April 4, 1876. Does anyone have any information on any other Derkes from
that village? I have been pronouncing the name like "Der kiss", is this the
correct way to say the name or is it like "Der keys"? Also, I have been told
that the name came from Derks. Does anyone know any history of the name?
Thank you very much for any information you can give me.

Linda Morrissey
