Are you sure that Josepha Paprotny was born exactly in 1850 in Bischdorf?

I think the only way to get more information is to physically visit the archive in Opole…

Well, if you put in your browser’s address:
„korzenie” followed by a dot and „online”
then maybe you will find something. You may also consult FamilySearch first.

Regarding your ancestors: they were Silesians 🙂 Nowadays you can be proud of it!

Sounds rather standard to me. It depends what exactly was that name and in which period. For me, if the name is Slavic, but not ending in -ski, -cki, -tzki, then the person was rather Silesian. Also the occupation and religion matters. Germans were mostly protestant and had „better jobs”. Anyway, it depends, but I don’t see why a German person would use a Slavic surname. Given names were usually in German form, since this was the official language in the documents (earlier in Latin). The origin of a person could follow from the surname for people from before 1740, that is, before Prussia in Silesia. But it is hard to find so old documents.

Give some specific ancestor with known dates.

Paul and Anna got married on 3.6.1833 in Chorzów. You will find this in geneteka.genealodzy.pl

I suspect that with Franz Kunowski’s birthday it won’t be so easy 🙂

Nawet ciekawa ta hipoteza nazwiska Dulcet. To jeszcze dorzucę moją hipotezę nazwiska Marii jako Konczewska/Kończewska. To wskazuje np. na obecne województwo kujawsko-pomorskie i okolice Chełmno-Bydgoszcz-Toruń-Dobrzejewice. Ponadto, Marek pisał, że stamtąd też była emigracja do Brazylii.

Niestety to nie jest żaden konkret.
