Jo Anne - I found a bit more - since I have a copy of Einwohnerlisten aus dem Kreise Heiligenbeil, Teil I, 1601-1690: on page 136 is listed a Michell Lettau in a group designated as Dass 3.quartier (and there are 4, so I take this as a division of the Stadtt Heylligenbeill (city, 18 August 1634. No other details, only this man at this place on this date. These quarters appear to be a military designation, i.e., Mussquitirer (including Lettau). On page 159 are two (or the same man twice) named Tewes Lettau, one with 5.0 after his name, the other with 16 schl.von 1635 u. 26 Mk.30 ß. These look like plots of land allocated to these people to farm. These are in Waltersdorf 1635-36. Tewes is an old variety of Matthew. The schl. I'm not sure - not capitalized, so not referring to Schulz I don't think. (In Thode's Dictionary, schl. can mean slim or bad - maybe this refers to a narrow strip of land, which is the norm - a cluster of cottages by the road, and long, skinny plots stretching off the back of those, not like our huge squares with one farmstead). Other opinions welcomed here. There is another volume to these Einwohnerlisten which I don't have, but can get to next week, if you wish. Way too far back to work with now, I realize, so these are just to tuck away somewhere till you work your way back. My names are in there too, same scenario. As you can see, the names of people and places evolve; there were no spelling rules then. Maureen Schoenky In a message dated 10/17/2009 10:05:31 A.M.

Kristi... there is a great map of Prussia/Germany online via the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The name of the map is Ravenstein and it was created sometime in the late 1800's. The URL is: http://uwdc.library.wisc.edu/Collections.shtml?R The information Maureen has given with various locations will become important because the map (if you choose to use it) is quite detailed with villages and cities. You may end up having to use eye wash as the various parts of the provinces are broken into quadrants. It will be time consuming!
