¹⁾ The names of towns/villages that are listed in the Kloestitz church records, or could be established by use of other sources, are shown on the map. In case the church records list place-names like ‘near Danzig’, the place of origin shown on the map would be Danzig. Even if this may lead to some inaccuracies, I think, it is more useful to use all available data: they provide the information we need to get the big picture.

²⁾ About 10 of the places of origin mentioned in the church records remain to be identified.
