Seeking Background on Nicinski Family
My name is Paul Davison, I found your web site and saw that there is a Nicinski family listed. I wondered where those records were found. My Grand parents were born in Klodawa and then lived in Kolo before travelling to the UK. Her name was Hinda Nicinski (born 15 June 1897) daughter of Jacob Mordecai Nicinski and her husband was Max Hants (born 9 August 1889), his father Isaac Jacob Hanc (born 9 August 1863) I am looking for information about them and their family. An address in Klodawa would be brilliant. Any help would be appreciated. Do you have any information or is there any one else you know who might help? Also, have you come across a memorial book for Klodawa, I have one for Kolo? My family and I are visiting Klodawa and Kolo in a few weeks but only for a few days and over a weekend. I Look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Paul PAUL DAVISON
Part of our family also originates from Klodawa, Lewis Nichinski who I believe born and died in Klodawa and his wife Annie born 1849 Poland, died 1932 London, England. I know also there is a link to David Lubin but at present but I believe at present its not from this side of the family. I know my great uncle contributed to a book about David Lubin but have yet failed to locate which book. I would be interested for any more information.

Hi. My father was Samuel Nichinsky and my grandfather was Joseph Nichinsky, from the Klodawa photo. We are probably related somehow, although my family tree background is pretty sparse. Do you know the names of the children of your relatives? Unfortunately I don't even know my granfather's parents names, though I suspect a Hinda somewhere in there. Nice to make your acquaintance!

Robin,
Hello, I have just seen your e.mails enquiring about the nichinski family.
Hinda was my maternal grandmother, she and her sister Nacha were two out of three survivors from this part of my family that I have traced. The papers I have indicate that, in fact, they were born and lived in a town called Kolo. Kolo is only 8km along the road from Klodawa. My grandmother married Meyer Hanc (Hants in the UK and spelt completely differently again when the Russians were in control). Meyer was born in Klodawa. The family spanned the two towns.
My grandmothers siblings included: Sharna, Nacha, Moishe Israel. Their parents were: Sivia (Wilpret single name) and Jacob/Jankwa Mordechai Nichinski.
Jacob/Jankwa Mordechai was born in klodawa.
Do any of these names have any connection for you? Any more information you can provide would be very interesting as I have only limited details myself.
Also, have you seen the photographs of both towns on the site, Judy Muratora posted the album under her name as it was the easiest way.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Paul

I would like to thank Judy Muratore for putting me in contact with Tanya Jones and her mother Elaine.
It has been great to exchange family stories and information. It's funny, we have the same old photo's and was spooky to
discover we live only a few miles apart, despite how far the family has travelled in both distance and generations.
We both only know of six children that Lewis and Annie Nichinski had:-
Harry, Hyman, Barnet, Eva, Marks and Joseph. We know Annie was a widow when she escaped Klodawa about 1890 with the children
to London and changed the family name to Cohen, so would love to know who the seventh child is, as referenced on
the Klodawa Town Roster.
We are also researching if Lewis was killed by Cossacks and what conflict it was in.
Love to discover more.
Regards
John

Hi Judy,
My maternal grandfather , Hyman Nichinsky (i?) came to England from Klodawa
late in the
1880s, changing his name to Cohen His anglicized parents' names were Lewis &
Annie. Lewis, a tailor & retired soldier, is reputed to have been murdered
by cossacks, so Annie , her daughter Eva & the 4 other sons followed Hyman
to England . Eva , Harry & Barnet lived out their lives in England, while
Hyman & Joe went to live in Australia, & Marks went to Canada.
I gave the family tree details to Elaine Herrett, who gave me your email
address, also to Honey Bot in Toronto.
My g-grandmother was also from Klodawa. She was Hyman's mother-in-law, &
her name was Yetta Cymber, ( or Simber). I have a tree of her parents &
siblings, if this is of value to you. She married in Klodawa Jacob Czerniak
from neighbouring Przedecz.
Hoping to hear further from you, Regards Len Levin

I have just discovered that my paternal grandfather Judah Cohen was actually a Nicinski from Klodowa. He came to England probably in the 1900s. His wife was Barucha, sons Davis Barnett Isaac, daughters Annie and Nancy born in London. Any links to the Klodowa community would be appreciated

Hi just a thought.
My late father's relatives also moved from Klodawa to Britain just before the 1st world war.
their last name Cieplinski got anglizised to Chaplin.
Maybe some of those might be known to you my first name "Menashe" was common in the family I know of a cousin who was also Menashe but in England called himself "Monty Chaplin"
Menashe
