Examples of the Villages of Estate

Genealogy for Villages from Volume 1
This wave settled along the main road between Poznan and
Danzig, largely in the relatively unsettled areas near Preuss
Stargard and in the estates along the Vistula River in Kreis
Schwetz and Kreis Tuchel. I will also include Bialobloty in
Russian Poland and Skrzynia as they are representative of
another kind of village. The villages are:
Skrzynia, Kreis Schwetz - a sandy little village where a
farm could be acquired with very little money. Click here
to see that genealogy.
Belno, Kreis Schwetz - an estate where the descendents of
the Skrzynia residents worked on estates. Click here to see
that genealogy.
Wollin and Gross Podel - two great estates in Kreis Stolp
owned by the Puttkamer family. The Remus family there
migrated to Wollin and Podel from West Prussia. They
sought land but ended up as estate workers. Click here to
see that genealogy.
