I have no connection to this person, but I am trying to help a friend find her birthplace. What I was given was Belfort, Keslin, Prussia. This is probably in Pomerania. Needless to say there is no Belfort. I have also seen Belforst. No place by that name either. Auguste Zimmermann arrived as a 23 year old on the Earl Dalhousie on 6 Feb 1880. Unfortunately British passenger lists of that time give only country of birth. Is there anyone connected with her that has a marriage certificate which might show her place of birth? She was married to Wilhelm Zischke on 20 April 1880. Regards, Jennifer http://colston-wenck.com

Thanks, Patricia. At least I know there is a town somewhere by that name. This one is in the wrong place, however, as I believe the one I am looking for was in Pomerania Regards, Jennifer http://colston-wenck.com -----Original Message----- From: aus-qld-se-germans-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-qld-se-germans-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Heinfried Daum Sent: Wednesday, 10 November 2010 2:36 PM To: aus-qld-se-germans@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SEQ-Germans] Auguste Zischke nee Zimmermann died 1937 aged 80 Hi , there is a pleace called Belfort in Germany according to ShtetlSeeker Belfort populated place 52°31' N 11°01' E E M U G Germany 100.1 miles W of Berlin 52°31' N 13°24' E Hope this helps Patricia ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jennifer Crockett" <jcrockett@optusnet.com.au> To: "SEQ-Germans" <aus-qld-se-germans@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 11:45 AM Subject: [SEQ-Germans] Auguste Zischke nee Zimmermann died 1937 aged 80 >I have no connection to this person, but I am trying to help a friend find > her birthplace. > > > > What I was given was Belfort, Keslin, Prussia.

To answer my own question, and for the sake of the archives of this list, I have found the place thanks to http://www.kartenmeister.com They listed two places of the name Belfort, and the one in Kreis Bütow is what I was looking for. Belfort, Kreis Bütow, Pommern 53.97, 17.58 There appears no habitation there now so there is no Polish equivalent name for the village. The region is now called Bytow, Pomorskie, Poland Regards, Jennifer http://colston-wenck.com -----Original Message----- From: aus-qld-se-germans-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-qld-se-germans-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Heinfried Daum Sent: Wednesday, 10 November 2010 2:36 PM To: aus-qld-se-germans@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SEQ-Germans] Auguste Zischke nee Zimmermann died 1937 aged 80 Hi , there is a pleace called Belfort in Germany according to ShtetlSeeker Belfort populated place 52°31' N 11°01' E E M U G Germany 100.1 miles W of Berlin 52°31' N 13°24' E Hope this helps Patricia ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jennifer Crockett" <jcrockett@optusnet.com.au> To: "SEQ-Germans" <aus-qld-se-germans@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 11:45 AM Subject: [SEQ-Germans] Auguste Zischke nee Zimmermann died 1937 aged 80 >I have no connection to this person, but I am trying to help a friend find > her birthplace. > > > > What I was given was Belfort, Keslin, Prussia.
