Update

Glenn Penner kindly provided clarification on several of the village–congregation associations from the Deutsch Wymysle 3 post here.

1. Kompany/Kompani was part of the Montau congregation, as evidenced by its appearance on the list of Montau baptisms here. It was likely the same location as Klein Lubien/Lubin.

2. I mislocated Gluchowka (Glugowko) earlier. It was actually in the Schwetz area, as revealed by the 1810 Schwetz-area census that Glenn and Esther Patkau transcribed and translated here. I have placed it in the Przechowka congregation below, based on Adalbert Goertz’s association of Glugowko with the Przechowka church book here.

3. Wilhelmsbruch, also known as Wilhelmsbruchshuben, was part of the Schönsee congregation. I have yet to locate it on a map.

4. It is possible that Vinodegin is a spelling variation of Vinedia, which was part of the Schönsee congregation.

The updated list of congregations (bold) and villages is as follows:

Montau-Gruppe

Groß Lubien
Klein Lubien/Kompany
Neusaß-Treul
Niedergruppe
Obergruppe
