Hans Joachim Gierke born 1710 Gulitz, Mecklenburg, Germany is my 4th great grandfather. He married 5 Nov 1739 in Seddin-Gulitz to Anna Ilse Seyer (born 1715 Gultiz). In the mid 1800s in Krakow am See, Meckenburg, the family spelled the surname Gierke. Earlier records shows various spellings such as Gehrke and Gerke. The next generation back will take the line to the 1600s. What variations of the name are others finding?
