Ratzlaffs of Przechowko III

The next youngest grandson of the original Ratzlaff was Tobias 36106, who was born in 1692.  Tobias did not have many male descendants, just 2 sons:


Tobias 47800, b 1715
Tobias 47802, 1741-1803, died in Jeziorka, probably no kids
not likely because no children
Tobias 36106




Hinrich 47801, married but dates unknown. Lived in Jeziorken. Probably no kids cause spouse remarried
not likely, spouse remarried and had children. Must have died young


Tobias 47802 has no children listed in the Przechowko churchbook.  Since he died in Jeziorka, he probably lived in Przechowko area all his life.  Thus, the churchbook data for him should be correct, which in turn means he’s probably not a likely candidate.  Hinrich 47801 probably died young as GRANDMA lists that his spouse remarried after his death and was still of an age to have children.  Furthermore, the Neumark villages were being settled in the mid-1700s, but both of these Ratzlaffs died in Jeziorka, which is in the Schwetz region.  Tobias 47802 and Hinrich 47801 are both possible candidates to be my ancestor, but I feel that neither have a real strong likelihood.
