Hi Guys,
Can someone please assist me with the following problem-?
I have many families born and or married in Prausnitz, Boehmen Koenigreich,
Austria in the early 1600s and 1700s and yet on this site I have seen
currently the town/s of Prausnitz mentioned in numerous e-mails.
I have since checked up with http://www.kartenmeister.com/ and have since
located two towns called Prausnitz in Schlesien.
Is there any chance that these towns are one of the same as I have mentioned
above, considering the time frame in regards to wars, country boundaries,
and maybe is now currently Schlesien etc etc.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Graeme Rummler.
