Barbara- A good site to find towns in central Europe is http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm It shows a Honigsberg in Austria, 53.6 miles SW of Vienna, and several Konigsbergs and similar names in Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, and Russia. If you have a general idea of the area you could narrow it down. Marilyn > ====================================================== > I am new to the list and was wondering if I could possibly get some direction? The ancester I am looking for came to the United State in 1848 from Hoenigsberg. I have looked on many, many maps and cannot find Hoeningsberg. Is it still in existence today, has the name been changed, or it is no longer there? I know during the war there were many cities destroyed. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I don't know where to go from here. > > Thanks so much. > > Barbara > Fresno, CA > > -- Marilyn Mills Hesse marilynhesse@home.com Windsor, Connecticut, USA Researching: Louisville, KY and Germany: BRENNER/GLASS/GUNTERMANN/ HESSE/MUELLER Pennsylvania: Beaver Co.: CRAIGHEAD/LYNCH/MOODY/ROBINSON Bucks Co: DENNIS/LEWIS Crawford Co:COLBOURNE/DENNIS/HAMILTON/ McQUISTON/MILLS/WILLIAMS/WILSON Mercer Co: LONG/MILLS/MOON/MOORE/ROBINSON New Jersey: DENNIS/WILLIAMS N.Ireland: Co.
