You are absolutely correct about a sketchy posting...that is all I have to go on.
As far as the name is concerned, I was told that it was Erna, you are quite right in suggesting that it may be a shortened version.
I can offer the correct spelling for the village in Poland (not the phonetic version) Kondrajce, it is about 37 Miles NNW of Warsaw. This came from a previous responder, Jerry Frank.
These German people, for several generations, lived in the area of Prussia which later became Poland.
Perhaps I will need to do some digging on this side of the Atlantic, however the information collected includes several generations on the far side of the pond.
Thank you for responding and giving me some ideas.
Alice
