Listed in the 1870 Census my Great Great Grandmother is listed place of birth as Brisen. I know that she was born in Sensweiler and got married and lived in Birkenfeld Oldenburg. A couple of other people are listed place of birth as Brisen and then there are a few with Germany listed. Does anyone know what this census taker ment by Brisen?
