| | Dear anyone, | | My mother came from a town in Silesia, her family name was "May". The | spelling of which doesn't seem Polish and it doesnt' seem German! | Although | it is a common name in that area. Can anyone explain this and | also give me | any information on Silesia | | Thanks | | Dee Moore | _________________________________________________________________ Dear Ms. Moore, I have the name "May" in my family tree, but not in Silesia: Johann Conrad May, ev., Verwalter der Malsburg bei Breuna / Administrator of the castle "Malsburg" near Breuna, Hesse, Germany born about Oct 1731 in ? (unknown) died 16.10.1801 in Oberlistingen, Hesse married about 1759 in ? (unknown) Wife: Anna Margaretha Gross I would say that this is definitely a German family name. Silesia is an area in the East of Germany, now belonging to Poland. It was for many centuries a German province, named after the Teutonic tribe of the "Silingen". After the German population was expelled in 1945/1946, the area was annexed by Poland. Most cordial regards from Luxembourg Gerd Müllenheim _______________________________ Postanschrift: Postfach 2482, L-1024 Luxemburg Tel.
