Beckersitz

This brief post supplements the second post in the Przechovka Emigration series (here), which stated the following about one of the villages listed:

• The spelling of Bek(e/o)rntz is uncertain; Beckersitz, whose precise location is unknown, is probably meant.

Thanks to a tip from Manuel Janz, we can locate this village more precisely and confirm that the Mennonites living there would have been members of the Przechovka church. 

Manuel pointed to a map by Fritz Schultz at the site Familienforschung in Westpreußen (here). The village Beckersitz can be seen on the map just to the northeast of Wintersdorf, the German name for Przechovka.

Had I viewed the full map that appears in the earlier post, instead of using an already-cropped version, I would have found the village in the same spot.

A minor mystery is solved: Beckersitz was located less than a mile from the Przechovka church. For additional information about the village, see here.
