My G grandparents, Henry (Henrich or Henryk) Pyde (?-1889) and Rosalie Rashke (no dates) lived and died in
Poland. They had 3 children: Anna Pyde (1882-1960), my grandfather, Alexander Martin Gotlief Pyde (1882-1935),
and Wanda Pyde (1884-1974). In 1889, Henry Pyde died and his widowed wife Rosalie remarried a few years later to a
man with the surname of Muntz. He had one son, Reinhold Muntz (1883-1945) who became a step-brother to the other
3 children.
Henry Pyde and Rosalie Rashke were active Lutherans. Judging from the ages of their children, they married in
about 1881. From family notes I believe Henry was a "kantorat", teaching in the local Lutheran village school and assisting
the parish pastor with various duties. Henry died in 1889 acording to family notes. My best guess is that the family lived
in the Plock/Gabin area of Poland.
My grandfather, Alexander Martin Gotlief Pyde (1882-1935) with step-brother Reinhold Muntz (1883-1945), and
with Emma Pyde (probably a cousin to Alexander), immigrated to the US in 1902. Ship mannifest indicates last residence
of all 3 as Plock, Poland. At some point Rosalie Pyde Muntz and her new husband relocated to Ciechocin Poland.
Daughter Anna Pyde married Edward Zoller (1879-1971) in Poland about 1903. Edward was born and had resided
in Nikolajow Russia, a German settlement located in Russia. In Jan 1909, Edward Zoller immigrated to the US.Anna
Zoller and children, Wanda, Carl and Fritz. followed in Jan 1910. The ship mannifest for Anna indicates her last place of
residnece as Ciechocin Poland. Her mother is listed as Rosalie Muntz also of Ciechocin. Edward Zoller's ship mannifest
indicates that his wife's last residence as Gabin Poland (about 5 mi south of Plock)
I am seeking the marriage record for Anna Pyde and Edward Zoller- either in the Plock/Gabin area (Mazowieckie
Province), or in the Ciechocin area Kujawsko-Pomorskie Province. They are believed to be Lutheran. I would also
like to find birth/death/marriage records For Henry Pyde and Rosalie Rashke about 1881, and Rosalie Pyde’s second
marriage to Muntz, 1889-1909. The family from the first marriage is believed to have resided in the Plock/Gabin area, the
second marriage in the Plock/Gabin area and/or the Ciechocin area. Would also like to obtain any information regarding
close relatives to the Pyde or Muntz families. I do not believe the Edward Zoller family resided in Poland.
Thank you for your help.
Note: I have a family tree on Ancestry.com called the “Pyde Family Tree”.
