Hello Winfred,
I have looked for the place Upper - poiswisch times. So he/it can not are called.
I have found somewhat similarly ringing, without Upper -.
Poischwitz / Paszowice circle Jauer with 2011 inhabitants, it had one
Protestant church and the catholic church was in Jauer, only 5 km
removes. There was also a Down Poischwitz however no Upper Poischwitz.
And instead of Pomeroy gave it a
Pombsen / Pomocne circle Jauer with 793 inhabitants, 14 km of Jauer
removes.
MfG Alfred

After four years I'm still trying to track the German-Prussian origins of my Gt Gt Grandfather
Friedrich LANGE (b. 12 Jan 1812) and Wilhelmina (HUEBNER) LANGE (b. 13 Jan 1821).
In the
process I have been sent the list of descendants of Carl Edward HUEBNER (b. 5 May 1820)
in
Schlesian, Prussia-Oberpoiswisch. Since both families settled in Bremer Co., Iowa, I
suspect
they may be related. Can anyone tell me the correct name for this town and location? I
found
many possibilities in Germany and Poland, but none that mentioned Oberpoiswisch. Are
there
films available from FHC or sources for the records of this place? Both families were
Lutheran
in the U.S.
My LANGE family sailed from Bremen to Baltimore on the bark J. Ahlers arriving 24 June
1861.
With the parents were children: Carl 11, Auguste 9, Wilhelm Friedrich 6, Edvard 3, and
Gustav 9
mo. Augusta married in Iowa Fred Berger and in her obituary it said she was from
"Pomeroy". She
was born Aug. 4, 1850; Wilhelm (who later went by Fred) was born May 1, 1855; Edvard
was born
Sept. 26, 1857. I have not found Carl or Gustav. They settled first near Chicago in
Barrington
IL where daughter Louisa was born Nov. 16, 1866. In 1868 they purchased land and
moved to
Sumner, Bremer Co., Iowa. None of the papers I have found indicate what town they came
from but
this Carl Edward HUEBNER may be related. Thank you for any help you may give me.
Winifred
