I descend from DIRCK PAULS who died 22 Nov 1808 Schoeneberg, Kr. Marienburg through his son JACOB PAULS, b. ca. 1752/1753, and died 10 Apr 1827 Neukirch, Kr. Marienburg, and his wife, Frieda Penner.The descent continues through their daughter, MARIA PAULS, b. 26 Mar 1791 Schoeneberg, Kr. Marienburg -- d. 31 Mar 1832 Mierau, Kr. Marienburg, and her husband, Arend Wiebe (1781-1836) whom she married 6 Sep 1821 at Neukirch, Kr. Marienburg.I've never found any documents to even suggest that the family came from Sweden originally, but, of course, would be pleased to have references to them.
