Prussian locales... but what are they called today?!

[bitzar]

Hi team

I'm looking for the contemporary names for the Prussian locations of

Plischanow, and

Blischnoff.

They were know as Prussian in at least the year 1800 by Lutheran German speaking people.

Many thanks, Bitzar.

Ischalka, Poland.
The colony belonged to the settlement area New Samara or Pleschanowo.

The ending “ anow” sounded Polish to me ,but exactly where I could not find.
Well done solidrock.
Viktoria.

Thank you for your reply’s.

So the name ‘Plischanow, Poland’ is written as Birthplace on an 1862 Australian marriage certificate.  I actually didn’t realise it said Poland until I just had another look.  Both the brides parents were still living but not present at the time of the marriage.  I thought Blischnoff may of been the Germanic version of it.  Some online trees have her born here.

KGarrad and Solid, the wiki page on Neu Samara states it was started by the Germans until 1891.  The bride was born in 1845!

I believe the brides father was from Zittau, Prussia which is today in Germany but in the border of Germany, Poland, and Czech Rep.  I just don’t know why they would be so far away, but who knows really.

The groom is born Nekla Hauland, Prussia which still exists with the same name in Poland today.

Thanks again,

Bitzar.

No matter what I do, the pic is too large to attach.  I def reads Plischanow, Poland.  The name is Valentine ISRAEL, daughter of August ISRAEL and Magdalena RADNA.  She was born in 1845.  I don’t know when she migrated but her parents didn’t arrive until 1865, 3 years after she married.

A lot of these Lutheran families left from Bremen and Hamburg in the 1840’s to escape religious persecution.
