Dear Michal,

my grandfather Reinhold Bejenke was born in Pozdzenice too, Sept. 23 1865.
He had 8 brothers and sisters: Herrmann, Helene, Wilhelm, Amalie (Riewe), Marie (Liebert), Alexander, Gustav, Luise (Riewe).I don´t know the dates of their births.
So it is very probable, that your Aleksander B. could be a brother of my grandfather. The name of Alexander seems to be common in my family. I had an uncle of this name (uncle Olu)
The father of Reinhold , etc was Ferdinand Bejenke (1840 -1911);
mother Wilhelmine Ludwig (1840 -1926). On the other hand it was well known, that Ferdinand B. had several brothers, also living in or near Pozdzenice.
Their father was Johann Bejenke (1797 -1883)
His father was Martin Behnke (vel Boehnke)Dates unknown.

As the name "Bejenke" was introduced with Johann,it seems as if everybody carrying this name is his descendent. But also the families "Behnke" or "Benke", with polish history or ancestors belong to this group.

Please keep me informed of your further investigations.
