Marg, the TEWS that is mentioned on the baptism certificate is Knecht Carl TEWS. This, I am told, means that he was a farm worker named Carl TEWS. The baptism took place 22 September 1839, in the village of Woltersdorf, Kreis Randow, Germany. That is all I can tell you. The reason I put the names and the query on the list is that - since my ancestors and two brothers from the same family left Hohenselchow to have two of them go to Australia and one to America - I thought that perhaps more people from the village left also and went to Australia. It was a long shot - but the names listed as witnesses to the births constitute a historical comment on the village of Hohenselchow, the villages of Pinnow, Casekow and Woltersdorf. These people lived there at these times and it gives us a listing of the names of the families that comprised these villages - albeit a partial listing of the villagers. I am sure there were many more living there, but these names are of people who lived there at that particular time. sorry I cannot give you more information. cheers, Beverly.
