hi everyone,
have been looking into my german ancestry recently, and my ancestor john sigismund dittmann. he was born 1817-20, in poznan, a city and state. my ancestors birth cert says he was born poznan, prussian poland. his siblings have said walschstein, prussia, and belgium! well i would like to know where walschstein is, and what it is called today. i have googled and have not found anything so far.
i have also learned that this family used prussian royal names. my 2nd great grandfather was frederick william, his father johann sigismund, and grandfather christian sigismund. these names crop up in the prussian royal family, and my family must have been named for some of them. it is uncanny to see the same combo of names though.
if anyone can help with walschstein, it would be great. thanx!
