[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Where is Buczewie/Budzewiec? - Neumann Research

[Ron Neuman]

I have been away for two days, and based on Jerry's recent email, I 
realize that my message was one that "lost the text".

Let's try again - here is the text that I sent with the original 
message. Hopefully it will make more sense now.



I have copies of the death records for a father and son (Johann 
Neumann and Andreas Neumann) who are my ancestors.  The death record 
for the father, Johann Neumann, is from the Lubstow Catholic Church 
records (about 5 km south of Sompolno).  The death record for the 
son, Andreas Neumann, is from the the Sompolno Lutheran Church records.

Copies of my translations of the records are shown below, and Jerry 
Frank has looked at the originals and agreed that I have generally 
translated them correctly.

My question pertains to the place of birth that is listed in both of 
the death records - it is spelled Buczewie in Johann's death record, 
and Budzewiec in Andreas's death record.  I suspect strongly that it 
would be the same village.  Can anyone help me with the location of 
this village?


Johann Neumann - DEATH:  Catholic Church records for Lubstow, Poland; 
Microfilm #0,746,759; LDS; Death records for 1819; "Year one thousand 
eight hundred nineteen on the 16th day of March in front of the 
parish priest of Lubstow in his duty as civil registrar in the 
village of Lubstow, district of Pyzdrskiego, in the province of 
Kalisch, came Andreas Nowak, colonist, son of the deceased, age 50 
years, and Michael Hermann, also a colonist, age 36 years, both 
living in Wierzelin, and declared to us, a death on the 14th day of 
March of the current year, at the hour of 12:00 noon, there died in 
the house of his son; Jan Nowak, age 82 years, born in 
Buczewie.  This document of death was read to those present and then signed."

Andreas Neumann - DEATH:  Lutheran Evang. Church Records for 
Sompolno, Poland; 1849-1854; Microfilm Number 0,758,348; Death record 
#188 for 1849; "It happened in Sompolno on the 7th/19th of September 
in the year 1849 at the hour of seven in the evening.  There 
presented themselves Gottfryd Neumann, farmer age 28 years, and 
Krystof Schmidt, farmer age 55 years, both living in Wierzelin, and 
they testified that on yesterday that at the hour of 4:00 in the 
morning, in Wierzelin, Andreas Neumann died, widower and tenant 
farmer in Wierzelin, age 67 years, born in Budziewic, son of Jan and 
Krystyny Neumann. There was ascertainment by eyewitness concerning 
the death of Andreas Neumann. This entry was read to those present of 
whom the first was a son of the deceased and the second a    ?    of 
the deceased."  The age of 67 years at the time of death would place 
his year of birth as about 1782.
