Joan:
I am in the process of learning where the civil and vital records are now held in what was Silesia (Warmbrunn in the Kreis/County of Hirschborg, and Friedborg in the Kreis/County of Golitz). I found the list of towns/villages in each of the above Kreis (counties). First, I have to learn if any of the records are extant, where they are located, then defer to Polish names of the above counties, villages/towns. I do have a specialist who reads German - so that will not be a problem. When I get to that point, I will begin to post what is found on the Seidel GenForum for all. This will take several weeks, perhaps months unless the films of those records are found sooner. In addition to the above, I have found the birth of some Anna Seidel, born 1856 in the Kreis of Waldenburg. I will keep your Hedwig Seidel in mind as I go thru the records.
I don't have much more information than you do about your grandmother - alas. All my father remembered, from stories of her childhood, was that "she lived near two rivers - one larger than the other".
