I forgot to add that some research that I have done indicates that my Fenske/Venske families originally were from a bit farther east than prussia...actually it is said that they most likely went to Prussia from Pommerania.Many Pommerns were offered land and the oportunity to work on the land of feudal Lords in exchange for small plots of land for themselves.In the late 1700s and early to mid 1800s they moved west into kreis Flatow and kreis Wirstitz,also Nakel
