J Broads I did a quick search of Ravenstein's 1883 atlas and the closest I could come to it was Hultschin in Schlesien. map 6 SW (FG9) approx. 50ºN 36ºE The Calle maps had nothing, so I went to the JewishGen shtetl seeker. I gather it's now in Poland - probably SE of Breslau (Wroclaw). Way down by the border there are a couple of Hulskie, Hulcze 50N24E, At this point I gave up since I don't know where to find a map with both German/Polish names. If your town of Hulstein still exists, perhaps someone else on this list will know exactly.

Hülsten is just north of the megopolis of Duisberg-Dortmund-Gelsenkirchen-Bochum. ?? ;~) Don http://go.to/Hessen ----- Original Message ----- From: Calvin Zippin <czippin@itsa.ucsf.edu> To: <GERMAN-KINGDOMS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 30, 2000 8:51 PM Subject: Re: [GERMANKING] SCHLECHT/Hulstein(?)
