To those who are investigating the past:
My father"Adolf" came to Canada in 1929 from
Sierpc, Poland. That's ~75 km.east of Torun.
His father,Joseph Gertz was born in Poland.
The story goes that the Gertz's had emmigrated to
Poland from northern Germany in search of cheap
land.This emmigration took place in the 1800's.
