Be careful about what constitutes a map of Prussia. From at least the 1600s, Prussia was more or less continually enlarging with changing borders. You will need to know about what date and then look for a map of that time.

I agree with Bill and Wilberta. Prussia changed shape constantly. Although this isn't too close to the rhine River the Rhen is a clue and I would bet this was the Rhenish subdivision of Prussia at that time. I also looked at the German telephone book. There are quite a few "Bellmann" very near Wallerfangen, Saarland today. I have seen quite a few Pittsburghers from that area which also helps. I hope that helps John On Mon, Feb 7, 2011 at 10:17 AM, William Muller <muller1938@gmail.com>wrote: > Be careful about what constitutes a map of Prussia.
