I have found the following as the birthplace of an ancestor in the early 1600's. "Kassel, H-Nss, Prussia" Can someone identify this viliage or region? Is it the same as Kassel in Hesse? I also have the following location I cannot find.: "Heide Wahl Kries-Siedurg" by Collen, Preusen, Germany. Can any one identify this place? It is dated about 1830-1840. Please respone to either _Bdocdon@aol.com_ (mailto:Bdocdon@aol.com) or _IrmaJB@aol.com_ (mailto:IrmaJB@aol.com) . Thank you very much for your help. Don
