If you believe thate your family name is so seldom - come to Eiglau. All graves photographed except one (Josefa) are situated on the village's graveyard. The village itself is formed by only 70 houses.
The explanation "Family ..." shows the oldest known ancestor, as I could investigate from old documents. This means that persons with the same letter were relatives:
A - Adam (17th century)
B - Balthasar (end of 17th century)
Coordinates: 50°08'14''N, 18°00'11''E
First a panoramic view. It's really a small graveyard.

Family A, Julius' father

Family A

Family B

Family B - my nearest relative who was buried there.
|
Family B - I'll try to explain: My greatgrandfather's cousin's wife.
|
The WW2 monument makes me remark, that the village belongs to Poland. All three were brothers, Family B
|
This photo of WW1 monument was bad, so I converted it into a graphic.
|
Georg and Hugo: family A Alois: family B Paul: still unknown
|
A look into the village, it's only road
|
In the end two photos from Ratibor. This is the marketplace (Ring/Rynek) with St.Mary's column.
|
The Oder Road (Oderstraße/Odrzanska). If the name wasn't changed since 1567 (in 1945 it was only translated), this is the site of Martin Kurzidim's home.
|
I did not photograph one more grave because it's inscription was only embossed - similar to the WW1 monument - into the stone.
