Robert,
I would say your Oehlke/Oelke's probably lived in Pommern,
Germany. After WWII, most of Pommern was given to Poland.
The Germany people had to then leave their home&possessions
& take what they could carry & go back to Germany.I believe this is where Poland comes into the picture.

My husband,brother & myself went to Stettin(Szczecin) &
Isinger,Pyritz,Germany(now Nieborowo,Poland)where our Great Grandfather, Wilhelm Oehlke immigrated from in 1884. The
Village of Isinger was still there, with original Church built in early 1500's, still being used.

I have always wondered if the Oelke/Oehlkes in MI, & WI were related to our Southern Oehlkes???
