October 25, 1998 Regarding the spelling of Gieritz. If you go into info on Internet on Germany you find info from sources regarding spelling of surnames. You can easily spell out "Germany" in the search and you won't believe how many sources and areas you can find. Good Luck. I am looking for info on Buehler, Peters and Tress families from old Prussia area of Germany. Buehlers from Dormborn, Germany and Peters and Tresses from Petershagan, Vorpormmern, Germany.
