I am researching the following names from the following areas of East Prussia: Janischken, Jessen, Stanken, Borchertsdorf,? Grunheide, Kunsfelde, Almenhausen-Pr-Eylau.
The names are: Damaschun, Rosolowski, Schacknies, Grunenberg, Neumann, Dorsch, Schimanowsky (i), Muissus, Muisus.? My name was spelled? Muissus when my ancestors immigrated to the USA, since then an S was dropped probably during census information gathering.? I have traced relatives who have helped me in Germany and have met several family members during several trips to Germany.?
I would be interested to hear from anyone who has information or is familiar with the names/places I have listed.
Thank you, I can read German and write some.
