----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Dear all, I was given a list of eight place names which were supposedly, according to documents, all in parts of Brandenberg in the period 1600 to 1800, but are now in Poland. I was able to locate five of the places but found some in Silesia. Can anyone help me find the remaining three? I used the "Register" to the _Historical Geographical Atlas of Prussian Lands_, the WAML microfiche indes the the AMS 1:25,000 topo series of Germany, the _Gemeindeverzeichnis fur Mettel- und Ostdeutschland ... _, a handbook for East Prussia published in 1863, and _Where Once We Walked_. Bierdorf or Biesdorf: I found two much too far west - Bavaria I think. Gremmentin, which may just be an estate. Kreydelwitz. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
