ANKIEWICZ

Johann Mattheus ANKIEWICZ * c.1846 Bomst, Prussia, ~ 22.9.1846 Bomst, + 6.3.1893 Ressano Garcia, Mozambique
x Constanzia Therese KIERZEK * 10.12.1845 Bomst, Prussia, + 15.12.1915 Pretoria.

Johann Mattheus Ankiewicz was born at Bomst, now Babimost, Poland. He is the son of Fartoris Ankiewicz and Marianna Perschke. Ankiewicz. At the time of his birth the town was in the Prussian Province of Posen. It had been part of Poland before 1793 and today again bears its Polish name, Babimost.

According to Ludwig Ankiewicz’ family genealogy  published in Familia in 1992, the family farmed near Bomst. Johann Mattheus served in the Prussian army, and the family was Roman Catholic. Familia also records that he later received a medal in South Africa for service in the Ninth Frontier War of 1877–78.

Johann Mattheus Ankiewicz and Constanzia Therese Kierzek married at Dąbrówka, Poland, in 1869. Their older children were born in the Bomst/Babimost area of Prussia. The family later moved to Bremen, where some of the younger children were born or baptised. In 1877 Johann, Constanzia and six children travelled to Hamburg, where they embarked on the Adele for East London.

The Hamburg passenger list records Johann Ankiewicz, shoemaker (Schuster), aged 31, his wife Constantie, aged 32, and six children aboard the Adele, which sailed from Hamburg on 8 June 1877. The Adele arrived at East London on 22 August 1877.

The children on the passenger list were Josef, Franz, Paul, Albert, Carl and an infant Marie, aged under one year. This infant is likely the daughter later known as Hedwig Ankiewicz, whose age at  marriage is consistent with a birth in 1876.

Constanzia’s sister Victoria Kierzek also emigrated on the Adele with her husband Leopold Waberski and their children. The Bomst Catholic marriage register records Leopold Waberski × Victoria Kierzek on 22 January 1862. The same register records Valentinus Kierzek × Theresia Pinieska on 9 November 1842; they were the parents of Constanzia and Victoria.

ANKIEWICZ

Johann Mattheus ANKIEWICZ * c.1846 Bomst, Pruise, ~ 22.9.1846 Bomst, + 6.3.1893 Ressano Garcia, Mosambiek
x Constanzia Therese KIERZEK * 10.12.1845 Bomst, Pruise, + 15.12.1915 Pretoria.

Johann Mattheus Ankiewicz is te Bomst, tans Babimost Pole, gebore. Hy was die seun van Fartoris Ankiewicz en Marianna Perschke. Ten tyde van sy geboorte was Bomst in die Pruisiese Provinsie Posen geleë. Bomst was voor 1793 deel van Pole en die dorp dra vandag weer sy Poolse naam, Babimost.

Volgens Ludwig Ankiewicz se familiegeskiedenis, wat in 1992 in Familia gepubliseer is, het die Ankiewicz-familie naby Bomst geboer. Johann Mattheus het diens in die Pruisiese leër gedoen en die familie was lidmate van die Rooms-Katolieke Kerk. Familia meld ook dat hy later in Suid-Afrika ’n medalje ontvang het vir sy deelname aan die Negende Grensoorlog van 1877–78.

Johann Mattheus Ankiewicz en Constanzia Therese Kierzek is in 1869 te Dąbrówka, Pole, getroud. Hulle oudste kinders is in die omgewing van Bomst/Babimost in Pruise gebore. Die familie het later na Bremen verhuis, waar van die jonger kinders gebore of gedoop is. In 1877 het Johann, Constanzia en ses kinders na Hamburg gereis, waar hulle aan boord van die Adele na Oos-Londen vertrek het.

Die Hamburgse passasierslys beskryf Johann Ankiewicz as ’n skoenmaker (Schuster), 31 jaar oud, saam met sy vrou Constantie, 32 jaar oud, en ses kinders. Die Adele het op 8 Junie 1877 uit Hamburg vertrek en op 22 Augustus 1877 in Oos-Londen aangekom.

Die kinders op die passasierslys was Josef, Franz, Paul, Albert, Carl en ’n baba Marie, jonger as een jaar. Hierdie kind was waarskynlik die dogter wat later as Hedwig Ankiewicz bekend was; haar ouderdom ten tyde van haar huwelik stem ooreen met ’n geboorte in 1876.

Constanzia se suster Victoria Kierzek het ook saam met haar man Leopold Waberski en hulle kinders op die Adele na Suid-Afrika gekom. Die Rooms-Katolieke huweliksregister van Bomst bevat die huwelik van Leopold Waberski x Victoria Kierzek op 22.1.1862. Dieselfde register bevat die huwelik van Valentinus Kierzek x Theresia Pinieska op 9.11.1842; hulle was die ouers van Constanzia en Victoria.
