[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Neu Wuerttemberg Amt Tkaczew and GruenbergAmt Laznow

[Allyn Brosz]

Bill,

I agree with Jan Textor's analysis of the locality of Gruenberg. I would also like to point out that you can find on-line information on the early German settlers in the colonies of South Prussia, and there is a REISSER family listed for Gruenberg arriving in 1805.

I am looking for the villages where the Reiser family stayed on their way from Feuerbach, Wuertemberg to Volhynia around 1805. According to some old records, these two villages are Neu Wuerttemberg Amt Tkaczew (zwischen Krubin und Lipinsken-Stadt) and Gruenberg Amt Laznow, both in South Prussia. Does anyone know where these villages were located and in what churchbooks records might be found?

When he eventually got to Volhynia Jacob Reiser was the kantor for Faustendorf and his wife was the midwife Juliana Reiser often seen as a witness in the St Petersburg birth records.

Regards Bill Remus

PS and looking forward to seeing many of you at the convention next week in Edmonton.

Bill,

"Neu Wuerttemberg Amt Tkaczew" is called Tkaczewska Góra today and is 
located at the coordinates 51°54' 19°15'.

Your "Gruenberg Amt Laznow" is probably Zielona Góra today.  There are at 
least four towns with that name in Poland, but my guess is that it is the 
one located at the coordinates 51°42' 19°42', between Lódz and Laznowska 
Wola.

Hope this helps.
Jan Textor
