It appears that these places are scattered throughout 
Poland.  Associating a time frame and surnames with them might be 
helpful in clarifying exact locations.




>CzmeinDorf,

This place name appears to be corrupted as the first half is Polish 
while the second half is German.  I am not able to identify it out of 
context.  It MIGHT be Czamanin 18 km ENE of Sompolno but that is a pure guess.


>Niedzwiada,

There are at least 2 possibilities in Russian Poland - Niedzwiady 
about 30 km NE of Kalisch in the Prazuchy Lutheran 
Parish;  Niedzwiady about 12 km WSW of Sompolno in Sompolno Lutheran 
Parish.  Other variants are scattered throughout the country.


>Paproc,

Located about 100 km NE of Warsaw, not far from Ostrow Mazowiecka.


>Zakrzewka,

Several possibilities exist in variants like Zakrzew(o), Zakrzewek, 
etc.  More info is needed to determine which it is.  One of them is 2 
km NNW of Sompolno.


>Strzyzewa/Streche,

There are quite a few possibilities for Strzyzewa (Strzyzewo) in 
modern Poland with several in the Posen region.

>Prussenowa

There are several Prusinowo (and variant Prusinowice) scattered 
throughout modern Poland.


>and Rajewa

I only found one Rajewo in all of modern Poland about 11 km NE of 
Zielona Gora in Posen.


A word of caution.  I have identified what I could but place names 
are commonly duplicated throughout the country.  It would be very 
helpful to identify regions or parishes before beginning your detailed search.
