Hello all,
I am ecstatic that I finally found 2 documents that identify the locality of my Prussian relatives - alas, the spelling on the documents is not great, and I am having trouble with the location names.
On the first document, it says (what looks like to me) that the birth place is KRIESWAGH, Prussia. The spelling variation could also be KRIESUAGH. I think that this should be KREISEWAGH or something similar, which is a district or region?
The second document says what looks like COPLINS, Prussia. This one is also hard to read, and may say COFLINS or COPLURS, but I believe it is COFLINS.
I hope that someone recognizes these names and offers help. I feel like I am finally so close to having the origin of the family - need your expert help now…
Thanks so much,
Joe
