Weissenthal (Skoraczewo), Kreis Wirsitz
Weissenthal (Skoraczewo) was the home
of August
Remus' second wife Rosa Piekarska. After they married, they had many children as
they moved from estate to estate in the area. After August died in the 1880's
in Weissenthurm, the rest of the family moved to the Chicago area. Click here for
that family. Contact Rhoda Mackenzie hbmack@comcast.net for more information on this family.
Most of the
important events in their lives were celebrated at the Lutheran Church in Mrotschen. Weissenthal (Skoraczewo) was a manorial village with the manor house (gut). Here is a closeup
map of the village in 1939:
Here
are pictures of a house and barn from this village as well as me with the
Polish village sign.
