Subject: WARBSEN AREA

I have received location of Warbsen by using _GEO_ and it is located in
Holzminden area south of Hannover. My records show the GROTE AND
HUNDERTMARK families coming to New Braunfels TX in 1846 from "Warssen,
Braunschweig, Germany. I assume Warssen has changed to Warbsen now. I
also put Braunschweig in the _GEO_ and received "could not find". Has it
disappeared as a land boundary?

Is anyone doing research in the villages of Warbsen or Dohnsen? I have
FEHLIS, MEYER, BEICKER from Dohnsen. GROTE, HUNDERTMARK, LOCKSTEDT
from Warbsen area. JAGER, WULF AND HUSEN from areas nearby - I
am assuming. Most of these names came to the New Braunfels TX area in
the 1846-1850 era when Germans were immigrating to this area of Texas.

You put BRUNSWICK which is the English name for Braunschweig.
GEO has the German spelling only.

Braunschweig is in GEO as:

Braunschweig
GKZ : 03 1 01 000
County : | | +---- Braunschweig [BS] (kreisfrei/independent)
RegBez : | +------- Braunschweig
Land : +--------- Niedersachsen
ZIP : 38100-38126
Popul : 254130
Locat : 52d16m N 10d32m E
Maps : TK25 3729 Braunschweig
TK50 L3728 Braunschweig
Euro Ld35

Braunschweig is no longer a state or province within Germany, but a town
and Regierungsbezirk in Niedersachsen.
