Hello Wes: I have found the best sources are not the readily available documents such as immigration/naturalization, etc., but instead the more obcure places such as in the records of the church the ancestor attended here in the US or in county histories or in probate records. Sometimes the records of the other children of the ancestor will give a place.

I had a fortunate event...a distant relative had a birth certificate of one of her relatives that listed the birthtown of the mother (my great-aunt) in Prussia. check everywhere, with everyone. I was on this quest for 15 years. -----Original Message----- From: gensearcher@att.net To: prussia-roots@rootsweb.com; PRUSSIA-ROOTS@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, 28 Feb 2007 7:37 PM Subject: Re: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Prussian towns Hello Wes: I have found the best sources are not the readily available documents such as immigration/naturalization, etc., but instead the more obcure places such as in the records of the church the ancestor attended here in the US or in county histories or in probate records.
