[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Kreisberg, Prussia

[Dave Obee]

There were several places with that name, but I would suspect that Jerry is
right -- the Kreuzburg that he identified was a large centre in an area that
saw a fairly large migration to Volhynia.

Curious, though, as to the source from 1824. Was it a church record?
