Google Earth Placemark: Dunaburg, Latvia
You have been sent a Google Earth Placemark(tm).
Dunaburg: This is the name of the town on the rubber stamp from the
Schneider Blacksmith shop.. The one that we had the large print made
from….http://www.tcm.com/schneider/.
Maybe we have to change that
reference to Klaipeda. After all, it was in WESTERN Prussia, not
Eastern Prussia, as Elsie wrote on the chart she prepared.
If you have Google Earth installed, you can double-click on the

I don’t think we need to change the reference. Our Grandmother was born in Memel (Dunaberg) it seems.
It’s interesting to speculate about how our grandfather and grandmother might have connected, and about how they made their way to Canada. And why Morden, Manitoba???
