[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Figuring Relationships - FamilieSONNENBURG

[Jerry Frank]

Eleanor,

Weisendorf was in the region east of the Black Sea known as Georgia.  There was also a Weizendorf in the Don region.

I have never heard of the name Ludricka.  Ludwicka of course is the female version of Ludwig.

For Louise, Poles would typically use Luisa / Luiz or similar.


Jerry
