Alt
Sipory, Kreis Schubin, Posen
Alt Sipory dates back to the 14th century. It was a manorial
village associated with the Jacobi
family. Alt Sippory is in Kreis
Schubin, just across the river from Nakel in Kreis Wirsitz. On this map you will see VW. Sipory
which is actually the estate house of the Jacobi family
All that remains of the manorial farm is a
linden grove.
The village land is sandy and the village is
not very prosperous. The village contains an abandoned Lutheran Chapel.
My interest in Alt
Sippory is that August Remus' first wife
was Justine Jacobi. August was a blacksmith (schmidt) and working in the area; they had several
children prior to her early death. August then moved north to Kreis Wirsitz and remarried to Rosine Piekarska. His family
later migrated to the Chicago area in the 1890's.
