| Byaduk, a Wendish Community, was originally called “Neukirch” after a village in Saxony. The first setter, Johann Rentsch, arrived in 1853. The next settlers, all believed to have been Wends, were: Matthes Handreck, Matthes Jeitz, W. Edlich, R. Pertzel, C. Branke, J, Gude, J. Kihlo, C, Kosch, M. Ketzer, M. Pumper, J. Salzke, Martin Towk. Wendish was spoken in Byaduk up until 1915, when Mrs. Reutsch passed away. (Vanda Savill, 1980, Hamilton District Wool Centre of the World) |
