The earliest occurances of the Mathia - Matthia Familiy in Poland are in the area near Tuchola, in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship in northern Poland. In the earliest church records | The earliest occurances of the Mathia - Matthia Familiy in Poland are in the area near Tuchola, in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship in northern Poland. In the earliest church records are four couples who we call "patriarchs" and "matriarchs." Three lived in the village of Żalno (German Sehlen, Reetz parish), northwest of Tuchola. One lived in Groß Komorze (Wielka Komorza). These two villages are only 10 kilometers apart going through Stobno on the way. With links to Family Tree (must be logged in), these patriarchs and matriarchs were: | ||

These men could have been brothers, but we have not yet found records of their births. There are earlier occurrences of the Mathia name in the Tuchel area, but no direct connections have yet been possible. Since many or most of the Mathia-Matthia family members (of the Polish-Prussian Branch) actively doing research are descended from one of these patriarchs, there is less information about possible descendants of the others in the area. | |||
In addition to the above four patriarch who have been connected with known descendants, the death of a Jacobus Mathia, age 95 (estimated birth 1681) is recorded in the Reetz parish: | |||

There is an excellent possibility that Jacobus could be the grandfather of one or even all of the patriarchs! | |||

Christian Matthia, born about 1720 and married 4 January 1749 in Puberg, Bas-Rhin, France, is the patriarch of this branch. Christian's descendants are spread through France, Europe, and the United States today. Many American descendants come through Peter Matthia, born 17 February 1835 in Hambach, Bas-Rhin, France. Peter died 1 August 1906 near Joplin, Missouri. In the United States, his name was spelled Mathia. For the purposes of Mathia - Matthia Family Organization Y-DNA research, it is important to identify male-to-male descendants of Christian who are not descended through Peter. | [https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/KCXS-1FQ Christian Matthia, born about 1720] and married 4 January 1749 in Puberg, Bas-Rhin, France, is the patriarch of this branch.
