I'm trying to help someone locate relatives in the US from the Reszke family. They were from Modlin PL and moved to the US during the 20's-30's. One of 2 brothers.
Thanks

My great-grandfather was Alexander Reszke from Modlyn, Russia, but his nationality was Polish. Not sure if it is of any relation, but perhaps.

He came to the US at the age 19 in 1912 on the ship Neckar and settled in Steubenville, OH.

His father's name was Johann Reszke.

Reszke looks to be a German version of Reszka (the tail side of a coin).
837 people in Poland sign themselves Reszke, the single biggest being in and around teh Baltic port of Gdańsk.
Those spelling it the original way, Reszka, number more than 5,200, wtih major clusters in the Gdańsk (964), Lublin (689) and Warsaw (513) areas.
