I have had very good success researching my Glass ancestors through the LDS church records of Braunsberg, Ostpreussen, but I'm stuck on my Teddick, Tidig, Theidich, etc family. Family tradition says that my great-great grandmother, Maria Louisa Teddick (Theidig, Teddich, etc.) was born in Dresden; however, I think it's much more likely that it was Danzig, West Prussia due to the proximity of her husband's family. Her tombstone gives a birth date of 29 Jun 1818. Her husband, my great-grandfather Hugo Glass was from Braunsberg (now Braniewo, Poland) and I've found his birth records, as well as many generations of his family, at the Katholische Kirche Sankt Katharina but no marriage records. Their first child, my great-grandfather Franz Glass, was born April 10, 1849 in Gross Kronau (Kronowo, Poland) and his birth is registered at Gross Lemkendorf (now Lamkowo, Poland), but again, none of his mother's family appears in the church records. One of the god parents on his christening certificate is a Franz Teddick (Theidig, Teddich, etc.) and I wonder if that may have been Maria Louisa's father. The family left Germany via Hamburg, on September 2, 1850 and arrived in Galveston, Texas on November 13, 1850. I am very interested in finding a marriage record for Hugo and Maria Louisa, which I believe took place around 1847 or 1848, and a birth record for Maria Louisa. I am hoping that someone could give me advice on where to look. I'm not very familiar with the history of that region during the 19th century and not very certain what other, nearby church parish records I should look for, or other resources. I feel that if I had a good map of all of the surrounding communities, their proximity to each other and a feel for what church parishes existed at that time that I'd have a good start. I've also read that even though the family was Catholic in that very protestant part of Prussia, that I should check protestant church records in that area since even Catholic and Jews sometimes had to register birth records at a protestant church if they were not close enough to their own church or synagogue. As for the Glass family; as I indicated, I was able to find very good records on them going as far back to around 1700. The church records started about 50 - 70 years before then, but my family didn't start showing up in their records until around 1700. Does anyone have any familiarity with migration history and have suggestion as to where they may have come from before settling in Braunsberg? Thanks for any help.
