Hi Martin,
Buchwalde, Koschmin was in Pogorzela (Kozmin) catholic parish which included villages: Bielawy, Cegielnia Głuchowska, Cegielnia Pogorzelicka, Dobrapomoc, Elżbietkowo (Elisenhof), Felicyanowo, Głuchowo, Gumieniec, Łukaszewo, Pogorzela,Taczanowo (Buchwald)
Buchwald was a farm belonging to Pogorzela, not existing now – pls see the map:

Not far from Pogorzela, in Borek Wielkopolski you can find name Lerch:
Protestant community Borek, entry 1 / 1882
Carl Albert Lerch (29 years old)
father: Michael Lerch
Anna Marie Martha Krupke (20 years old)
father: Carl Krupke
Larch name appears in:
Catholic parish Rychwał, entry 12 / 1827
Michał Larek alias Larch (26 years old)
Łucja Filipczakowna (19 years old)
Rychwał is 150 km from Wrocław.
If you give some more information, hopefully someone will be able to help you.

Many Thanks Gosia

Very kind of you to help me with this question and that is a perfect answer for me.
I have learned that my ancestors are mostly from Wrotkow - Grandfather born 1897 Marcin Feledziak.
I also see that Johann Feledziak is from Schelejewo and he was killed in WW1.

My Great Grandfather also Johann Feledziak Married Francoise Klipaki in Pogorzela. So this is exactly the right area as you say.

I was looking for information about Jacob Feledziak and I saw his details were from Buchwalde, but I could not find this.
So your answer is perfect. !!

I have already had much help to find my family -I have already information about Magdalene Feledziak who was born around 1750 in Stzelce Wielkie , so all in the same area.

Thank you
Martin Feledziak.

Martin,
I am glad I could help. "Larch" made me think of familiar second name in genealogy
Of course you meant the tree, Pogorzela in those times was surrounded by forests, today there are still woods with larch trees in protected areas nearby.

Gosia.
