Bob, If the region turns out to be Saxony-Anhalt, as your cousins indicate, you might contact the Germanic Genealogy Society for help. http://www.ggsmn.org/Regional%20Pages/Saxony.htm You have not indicated what your family religion is. Family religion is a major clue to the region, especially since Wittenberg is where Martin Luther was a priest. BTW, please retain the subject line in mail list messages.
