Meine name ist Deirdre RUSSACK. Ich spreche und schreibe wenig Deutsche. Ich werde auf Englisch schreiben.
My ancestor (Karl Gottlieb RUSSACK) travelled via Bremen to Australia in 1851. He travelled with his wife Emilie Ernestine Juliane KARGE and four children (although only three arrived in Australia in 1852). They settled in the Barossa Valley, South Australia).
Karl Gottlieb RUSSACK was a windmill mechanic and was born in Leichholz, Brandenburg (now Drzewcw, Poland) but lived also in (See)Laesgen (Laski Odrzanskie, Poland).
Emilie Ernestine Juliane KARGE was born in Stepf, Grunewald, Brandenburg.
Their children were baptised (Lutheran) in various places - Lagow (Lagow, Poland), Neulagow, Mühlbork (?Mühlback).
One of the children (Frederich Wilhelm) married Johanne Caroline Auguste Kloke who was born in Kay (? Kije, Poland).
I am travelling to Germany next year and plan to visit the area in Poland that they emigrated from.
I have some papers written in German (in script) and I will continue to translate them. I would appreciate any advice anyone has on researching my family while in Germany/Poland.
regards, Deirdre

The places you mention are in Prussia (Brandenburg), but not in West nor
East Prussia... so this is the wrong list. You should use

(bilingual as well)
The eastern part of Brandenburg, where theses locations are, is also called
Neumark.
