Hi, I'm a little surprised "Nogath" is causing all this trouble, when a Google search will give you the answer in seconds. It's the German form of the name Nogat, in Lasin district of Grudziadz county of Kujawsko-Pomorskie province. Latin records in recent centuries usually just insert place names as they existed in the vernacular. German was the official language of that area at that time, so the place was called by the German name "Nogath," even in Latin documents. It is, of course, always best if we have a scan of the original document to consult. But in this case I think it's pretty obvious the reference is to Nogath/Nogat. A Google search will confirm this, as will reference to www.kartenmeister.com. Fred Hoffman
