Place Names and Locations for my Family History, including Polish/German village names
NACHTIGALL: The Nachtigall family was in Finckenstein or Finkenstein, Rosenberg, Preussen (Prussia), Germany, which is now Kamieniec, Olsztyn, Poland. They were in Rosenberg, Preussen, Germany, which is now Susz, Olsztyn, Poland. Karl August NACHTIGALL was born in Gross Albrechtau, Finkenstein, Rosenberg, Prussia (Preussen), Germany, which is now Olbrachtowo, Olsztyn, Poland. Susz, Olbrachtowo and Kamieniec form a triangle about 80 kilometers southeast of Gdansk (Danzig), Poland, in an area known as "the Land of a Thousand Lakes".

The KORTH and JOSEPHSKI families are from Sandberg, Prussia (Preussen), Germany, which is probably *Piaski, Poland, about 40 kilometers southeast of Gdansk. (shown at the top of the map above)
*there are 3-4 "Sandberg, Germany" cities; Piaski seems the most likely because of its closeness to where the Nachtigal family was from.
