Hello, I live in the USA and am trying to find out information on my paternal grandfather's family Anderschat. We know that this is likely not the name of Karl Anderschat and John Carl Anderschat when they came to the states back in the 1870-1880's but we are at a loss for finding information on our family in West Prussia. My great grandfather John Carl Anderschat was born in Schwetz, West Prussia in 1873 to Karl Anderschat and Anna (Bleck) Anderschat. John Carl's wife was Leokadia Prangel, born in 1874 in possibly the same area, or near Danzig (this is not clear in our family records). any thoughts on how to start searching for this would be greatly appreciated.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Hi,
I am a family researcher from Poland, and being quite honest - I live in the former German 'Landkreis Schwetz'. Perhaps I could help you.
