PISCHKE=PIESCHKE surnames equil

My family I understand were from Prussian. When Poland disappeared the West went to Germany. In 1875 or abouts the Polish surnames were rewritten with German spellings I am given to understand that Pischke is the German and Pieschki is the Polish (masc) but the "sch" I thought should be a "sz" ??.I have seen Polish surnames Pieszki an very similar to it. My family emigrated using the Pischke surname but when their children were born they used Pieschki but eventually anglicised it more to Priskie. There are not enough of the old folk left to ask what it should be ??
Does this help - regards Kevin
