I am not a genealogist but I try to help others with their family trees. I grew up on Gates Avenue in Brooklyn not far from where your relatives lived. I am also descended from Gottscheers and my grandmother was a Koenig. I don't think our Koenig lines are closely related.

I worked with the Snyder family some time ago and was able to help them with some of their ancestry. I have bits and pieces about the Koenig and Honigmann lines and am happy to share what I have. It is not much on the Koenig side but maybe it will piece together with your information and we can take it from there. The Honigmann information stretches back a bit further.

I located Karl Franz Uckmann and his wife, Helena or Magdalena Koenig, in the 1930 census along with two children ---- Charles "aka Karl" and Helen. Are you descended from Charles (Karl) born in 1923?

From what I can tell, the Koenigs were from Kerndorf #25 in the Mitterdorf parish. However, I believe the Koenigs married into that household. It appears that Magdalena/Helena Koenig Uckmann's father was named either Georg or Gregor. I believe Gregor is correct but different sources flipflopped back and forth between the two.
