Previously, we had found WWI draft reg and WWII draft reg cards for Authur Kraska indicating he was from Bergfriede. In looking in Kartenmeister.com -- there are many Bergfriede towns.
Then we received a copy of church book page -- reportedly to be from Germany, Preußen, Ostpreußen, Groß Schmückwalde.
This visit:
I looked up this village in Kartenmeister.com ... and received the following results:
