You're welcome! I looked some more - those other 3 villages are all near Minden. Dissen is in Osnabrueck, am Teutoburger Wald. Now Osnabrueck and Hannover are all included in Niedersachsen. The postal code for this Dissen is 49201. It is a good-sized place according to the 2004 German auto club atlas in 1910 the population was 2,000. So - Dissen #1 in Meyers is in Brandenburg, Dissen #2 is in Hannover Standesamt and ev. Pft.), Dissen #3 is in Hessen-Nassau. There is a small Minden in what was then called the Rheinland - a very large Minden in what was then Westfalen. Now Nord-Rhein-Westfalen. All those date to 1912.

Hi Phil, I always start with www.familysearch.org and I would the surnames in search engine. For Kruger, I would also try Krueger. Fleishfreser I would put in Fleischfresser.

Hello Listers! My great grandfather, Johann Teske, a resident of Paris, Bessarabia, made his way east and boarded the S.S. Belgenland (Captain W. W. Beynon) at the Antwerp, Belgium, port in late 1884 or early 1885.  The ship docked in New York on 9 May 1885 and immigrants were processed at Castle Garden. The ship's manifest records the Teske surname as "Ferke" and notes that Johann's last residence was "Oserwein." (The surname recorded at Castle Garden was "Ferk.") Does anyone know if the Castle Garden record might reveal additional information on this relative, and if so, where such information might be obtained? (Authorities at CG have not responded to my inquiries.)  Does anyone know where I might obtain the date of departure of the S.S. Belgenland from Antwerp?  Finally, does anyone know of a village/town in Germany or Poland named "Oserwein?" Any help/suggestions will be appreciated. Herb Teske

Dear Heidi, It's great to see someone on this list with family from where my own family came from! First, the correct Polish name is Wegorzewo, and the first e has a little hook on it which makes the vowel nasalized, so it sounds like "Ven-go-ZHE-voh." Lovely location, on the north end of one of the prettiest of the Masurian Lakes. Unfortunately, the Russians shelled the daylights out of it in 1945 and most of the buildings are newer, in the cement-slab style of the Workers' Paradise. The parish church was only partially destroyed, has been rebuilt, and still has an organ built in the mid-1600s. Some of the public records were stored in the castle, which was bombed to shreds and those records lost. Others survive. There's a society in Germany of people who (or whose families) came from East Prussia and they are slowly publishing whatever records they can find. I don't have time to look it up right now, but will do so ASAP. Or just Google for Angerburg. Angerburg was the "county town" and a lot of people "from" there actually were from one of the villages scattered around. So you -may- have quite a bit of searching to do. More later, Bob Copeland -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Heidi Arno Sent: Friday, September 04, 2009 2:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Getting Started with Prussian Roots I am trying to figure out where to begin searching for my mother-in-law's line in East Prussia. She was born in Angerberg East Prussia in 1920. Her parents were Gustave Kiselewski, born 06 Nov 1882, and Marie Mosney, born 23 Sep 1881. Marie Mosney was born in Englestine, Germany. I did find Angerberg town on an online town name 'translator' that shows it is now called Wegorzyno, Poland. The family came to the US around 1924-25. They were Lutheran. I have heard that the Russians have the records and won't give them up, and/or that all records were destroyed. Family Search shows a number of films available under East Prussia, but the labels don't match place names that I have.

Also go onto _www.ellisisland.org_ (http://www.ellisisland.org) and see what their ship info has down and where they were going. Another site would be _www.daviddreyer'sbanatshiprecord.com_ (http://www.daviddreyer'sbanatshiprecord.com) I have had great luck with the Funeral homes that they might of used when they passed away and also the church or place of worship they used or attended.
