Names of Weizenrodau village, family name edit

Among first Medieval names of the village were for example "Waczebrodt" and "Waczenrode", Weizenrodau is a much more modern version. The family was also "Waczenrode" - Watzenrode is a modernized verson. Astronomer Kopernik himself called his uncle "Lucas Waczebrodt" in one of his letters (dated 11.01.1539).

Please someone incorporate this info (about old names of the village and original spelling of the surname) to the article.
