This index is current through the Winter
2008 issue of Die Pommerschen
Leute newsletter.
A significant effort is made to standardize and correct
errors in place names for Pomeranian locations east of the Oder
River. Since one purpose of the indices is to bring together
researchers interested in the same locations and these locations
may have undergone spelling changes, Kreis boundary changes, and
Province changes over the years, we use the
spellings and boundaries found on the Kartenmeister website as
a standard.
Even though the Kartenmeister database is very complete,
there are still locations reported in DPL that do not appear. Our
assumption is that either the submitter has received erroneous
information or that the location was small, existed in the 1800's
and was abandoned by the 1900's. In either case, this information
is left unchanged.
Please see our how to page
which explains how you can obtain the newsletter items that
contained these locations along with the submitter's contact
information.
