According to my research, Gatz come from the area of Osnabrück - Westphalia and Lower Saxony in Germany. In 1433 Gatz were returned by the Order of Teutonic Knights to Poland - in West Pomerania. This area is called the Kaszuby. Called them "Koschneider"(germ).


Here lived to World War II. Then after dispersing throughout the world. Most families of the name Gatz live in Germany, USA and Canada. In Poland are only 271 persons named Gatz. Press compares us with Atlantis - the “missing people”.
Note: mainly relates to genealogy Gatz family in Poland.
