Hildesheim
[Bishopric]GS:

seated at
Hildesheim

difficult to know if
a reference is to
the city itself or

extensive
Bishopric), it held
considerable lands

Bergdorf
evidently were here
from 1803 until they
moved on to in
South
Russia.
The
Schmid{Heinrich}
who settled in
Neudorf
evidently married an
Ahl widow here. The
GCRA also says
that the

associated with
Hilsbach are:
