I have managed to trace the death registration of my 5x GGm, Maria Elisabeth van Deventer, in Leeuwarden in the Netherlands - their records have lots of wonderful info. She died on 29/6/1829 aged 84, so she would have been born ca 1745. Her place of birth is recorded as "Zoust, Duitschland", unfortunately parents unknown.
I've tried googling for Zoust, but nothing comes up. As her surname is Van Deventer, which is a reasonably common Dutch name, I am wondering if the town is near to the german-dutch border.
Anybody got any ideas (calling on Grey :D)
Thanks
