Anyone Know German Places?

Post by sandyleanza »

Hi,

I am looking for the birth locations of each of the individuals listed in this family bible. I have the marriage location which is Hanshagen, Germany.

Thanks,

Sandy

This may be a stretch... since the initial letter is hard to read and does not look like the "k" in the surname Krauthoff - BUT, it does resemble the uppercase letter "K" in this alphabet for German Script...

The town for the bride MAY be "Kölzin" - which is in the same district as Hanshagen.

I think you are correct. I found some additional data which provided the "K" and it was the same place you mentioned above "Kölzin". I have done some searching through Family Tree records, but have not found a copy of the marriage or birth act yet....

Now I just need the Grooms Birth location.
