I am working with my brother in law on my wife's genealogy which includes her maternal
grandmother Martha Zobel. What we have so far is that she was born in Wyganow (now Poland)
Prussia to Henry Zobel and Maria Brandt. Henry was the son of George Zobel and Amalie
Pechtold. George was born in 1833 in Prussia and was the son of Johann Zobel and wife
Erlinda. We have no information about where Johann was born or where he came from. Your
posting is very interesting because we know from the history of the Posen area that there
were many attempts to settle more Germans from the west to overbalance the Slavs and keep
Prussia German. I would be very interested in receiving any more information you can send
me on the Hergisdorf genealogical table and history you mention.
Thanks in advance
Brian Cook
