either the 1768? FSL was incomplete or many families arrived in Grimm

census done in 1775. Such families, which I have so far been unable to find
in any other village’s FSL, are listed alphabetically below with their 1775
Grimm census household numbers. So far I have no information on their
origins prior to their arrival in Grimm: 1775:

Prussia: nka Slawsko Wielkie and is 6.5 miles S of Inowroclaw,
Poland: the GCRA said that a child of Goehring/Gering{Jakob}
who settled in Kassel was born hereUC in 1801; however the

with Gross Slawsk; the films that do seem to have Gross Slawsk
records #719,938 and #2,269,436 begin no earlier than 1817. This place was
also known as Schlaffzig, Schlaffzigi, Schlaffich,

GruenFN:
said by the Kamenka FSL to be fromUC Miltenberg.

Foltart, Hess, Mueller, Pastern, Pracht,
Soltner, and probably Werner families. Said by the Krasnoyar
FSL to be homeUC to Appel, Enders, Hofmann,

he found the Bott family back to the 1640s.

Province] , Prussia: nka Zielona Gora which is 6 miles NW of

of Kempton city.
GruenewaldFN: said by the Dehler FSL to be fromUC

Lampertheim, [Worms Bishopric]. For 1798 see Mai1798:Fz1,34,4

Hessen-Darmstadt.
GrueningFN: see Gruen.FN
Grueningen?, Nassau-Usingen [Principality][sic?]:
said by the Straub FSL to be homeUC to a Becht

Nassau-Usingen lands is 24 km NE of Usingen city and was then in
Solms-Braunfels Principality, not Nassau-Usingen.
GruenmeierFN: said by the Bauer FSL to be fromUC
Neilesheim(?), Wittenberg. This couple surely died prior to
