Dear Anja. Now the name of Freystadt/Niederschlesien is Kożuchów (Co-shoo-hoof in approximate pronmounciation).what is important for any possible written contact with there's administration. May you kindly begin with googling this name version and adding the word "parafia"(parish). Much depends on whether your ancestor was of protestant (evangelic) or catholic belief. The catholic church for sure still exists there,about the possible evangelic one I don't know anything, if it still exists or if so,what is happening inside it now. As I live at the Northern corner of the country and can help you remotely only by my advices. For sure there is a cemetery ("cmentarz" in Polish,to be added to your above googling,you should get then the address of the cemetery of there,the street (Polish abbreviation"ul." or "al."). If you wish so,I can make the remote query and then share with you,what I got remotely. For sure there is an evangelic church structure in the area, maybe with the headquarter in Wroclaw (former:Breslau) and maybe they could tell you more about the old evangelic cemeteries and their history over the recent 50 years about. So for now best greetings to you,Anja. Jack PS: I understand German to the extent to cope with understanding the incoming messages, and also much more better English and French.
