The surname Juretzko (also spelled Juretzka, Juretzki, Joretzko, Joreczka, Jureczko, Juretschko, Jureczka, and Jureczki) has many forms of spelling. In the 1800’s it was common to see the name spelled differently among official church records. The spelling would vary from event to event within the same family. Thus the spelling of the last name would change for the same person depending upon the record.

1567 A.D. Janek Juretschko is mentioned in the register of the hamlet Gamov belonging to Ratibor (Ratiborz in Polish) in Silesia. Indications exist that he originated from the Carpathian-Ukrainian area.

Further historical accounts are leading and pinpointing to a hamlet, mentioned for the first time in a record dated 1228 A.D. as Rudolphi Villa, changing to Rydultau (German) (The History of Rydultau), now known as Rydultowy (Polish), to be the possible root domicile of the Juretzko’s.

1845 A.D. through 1869 A.D. Church records for Rydultau show the changing form of the last name of two fathers who had children during this period. The historical source of this information is contained in the Kirchenbuchduplikat for the years 1830 to 1870. The authors of this historical reference are the Katholische Kirch Nieder Rydultau Kreis Rybnik. The records are currently available on mikrofilm aufgenommen von Manuskripten in Archiwum Państowowe Warszawa. They contain the Catholic parish register transcripts of baptisms, births, marriages, and deaths in Nieder Rydultau, Schlesien, Germany. The records include Ober Rydultau, now Rydultowy (Rybnik), Katowice, Poland.
