Schikora - German phonetic respellign of Sikora (coaltit, a small bird), a popular Polish surname.
Krowiorz - Silesian/Highlander pronunciation/spelling of Krowiarz (cowherd).

Trembatchau is today Trębaczów, next to Oleśnica, next to Wrocław. The name means the trumpet village.

You can find relations through http://www.verwandt.de/, or the Polish moikrewni.pl, this service will show you the spread of yout last names in European countries.

Sikora and Krowiorz are both Silesian names

If you read German, check this forum out:http://www.gross-wartenberg.de/forum/showthread.php?tid=13

Thank you I knew Sikora it is a kind of bird. and I knew Krowiorz was to do with cows somehow. Its great to be sure of these.

Also I have found a couple of lost cousines in the USA so far from the Krowiorz side.

Great to have this web site for help.

In my opinion it would be hard to find anyone who lived there before II World War, or any people with roots. In 1945th when Red Army was comming, Germans managed evacuation from Silesia. I think not so many people came back, and who came could be find as a spy or German... and then removed to Germany.

Easier would be find the house, if it exists. 1 year ago I had bought a house in Riemberg (Roscislawice) and then I found there many mementos and souvenirs from the past (especially beer bootles :D )

Found it.

Glausche, Schlesien, Germany
Now is = Gluszyna,Namyslowski,Opolskie, Poland

All my relatives on my fathers side are from Schlesien and I am starting to find records for the areas. I now have some back to the mid 1700's. Not bad since all i had to start with was a couple of great grand parents names. from the late 1800's.

This is why I need to be sure which town I am looking for.

I've been searching for information re August Schikora, who married my husband's great aunt, Delia Flannigan, in Chicago, probably in the early 1900's. I know they had at least one son according to census records from that era. If there's any possibility this family might have been connected to your's, please feel free to contact me and I'll happily share what information I have. TCallanet@aol.com
