Does  anyone know if there is a German equivalent of the Polish surname  
POBORSKI?

I have a Gertrude Poborski married Michael Steinke (sometimes  recorded as 
Kaminski in Polish church records) living in Gawrony, a German  community, 
in the early to mid 1800's.  They were  Lutherans.

Thanks for any help.

Dick  Stein
