Shalom,

By chance I found your great website about the village or area where my ancestors from my mothers side came from. I can tell you that so far I did never see any website with such a lot of information and also photos about the village during the time my ancestors lived there and I hope that we can go there some time to see the places too, maybe next year.

Also I do hope that we will be able to see Israel one time, my daughter was with her class this March to visit the partner school of her school in Mateh Yehuda near Jerusalem, and it was so wonderful in Israel.

I hope you don't mind that I am writing to you, because I am German (I do not even know if there is a Jewish line in our family, but currently try to find it out). My great-grandparents were in the baptist church of Rozyscze until around 1914 (I am not sure about the exact year because my great-grandfather was captured by the Russians and put for 7 years into a labour camp near Vladivostok to build mills), and my great-grandfather Wilhelm Wiesner was born there in 1878, he was a farmer and miller there, my grandfather Willi Wiesner was born in Plaszewo near the village, while my great-grandmother Melida Wiesner, born Klingbeil was born in Radawczyk, Niedrzwica near Lublin, Poland and fled to Roszycze obviously with her family when she was a child.

Since I am currently doing family research, I wonder if my great-grandparents are maybe known by some from the Rozysczers by chance.

I enclose some photos where my great-grandparents appear, however, the photos are already made after they had fled to East-Prussia, around 1935
