Dottie, Your town is probably "Alt Blessin" in Kreis Königsberg. There was also a small place called "Neu Blessin" located next to it. This was just west of Bärwalde. Today Alt Blessin is Stary Bleszyn (Stary = Alt = old) and there doesn't appear to be anything left of Neu Blessin. Bärwalde is now Mieszkowice, Poland. Karen B.
