Ooops, did it again. Sent directly to Katie instead of the list. Hopefully others can add to this. Judy ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: judy petersen <[email protected]> Date: Jul 23, 2010 9:56 AM Subject: Re: [COOK-CO-IL] where in Prussia? To: [email protected] Katie, I found a Gross Przesden, Poland on www.jewishgen.org, which is a great search site for non-Jewish villages as well. On the main page, under "search for place", click on "advanced search" but do not fill in the name of the village. On the next page which searches for Jewish populated towns, scroll about 1/2 way down to "Communities Main Page" & click on that. It brings up the "ShtetlSeeker" page where you can fill in the village name. I left the country identity as "Eastern European", & it brought up many possible villages. ShtetlSeeker also gives the distance from a country's capital, & if you click on the far right column of a village, it gives you the villages within a radius of 10 miles of your chosen village. I did a quick search for Gross Pressin, Eastern Europe, & came up with a few possibilities. Hope this helps.
