new theory: the oldest known historical Warzecha record is from 1414. This Clemens Warzecha was mentioned as "Scabinum".
His area, the area of Ratibor, is situated in southern part of upper silesia near the historical bohemian border.
This location fits very well as the center of origin of the family name if we look at distribution maps, historical Warzecha records and early church records.
