Pardon my two cents in this discussion about "Leadwich
Dres" Is this a town, location, persons name?
Everytime I see this subject I keep thing about the old
German surnames Drewes and Drenes. The reason is that
every so often in this exchange I see it listed as
Drees.
Well that's my two cents, it and your own dollar will
buy you a cup of coffee.

Pat,
It would be helpful if you could obtain a photocopy of
anything
regarding the death from the church records and scan
it
to the list to
see if we could read the German script. Perhaps we
could decipher
something else besides "Leadwich Dres".Or did you say that came from a newspaper??
Couple of thoughts I had--
1) "Dres" is an abbreviation for "Dresden"--so
"Leadwich" (whatever that
is), [Amt or Kreis] Dresden?
2) is there a river in Germany called "Drees" or
something similar? So
that perhaps it is "Leadwich" (the town name) [on the
river] Dres--such
as Frankfurt/Main or Frankfurt/Oder?
