The small area of Europe many of my ancestors came from
When doing your family history, some times you don’t connect all the dots. I have had the Bradtke Family History since it was launched in 2000. It covers my great grandmother’s line who came from Cicha Gora in Posen. Her maiden name was Schlinke. I have copied the maps from Page 15 of that excellent book. On close examination, I find Bentschen where my Gallasch 4xggp on my maternal line came from. A bit further on I find Kay where my Klenke 2xggp came from. Look at the scale on the bottom map. It is a very small area. If I looked closer, I can find more familiar names.
