[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Raatz

[Christopher Menke]

Rose or anyone, 
 
In his email, what would this part refer to? 
"Culm 2/w  Markt  No. 24"
 
I am assuming Culm, West Prussia now Chelmno, Poland? There were Raatz there and nearby in Tuchel and Thorn.

>   Their last child was born in 1892 so it must have been near or after that.
