Elki’s relatives in East Prussia

My name is Elk Bensemann and I have lots of ancestors in East Prussia. Half of them were Masurians from the area of Lyck, now administered by Poland, and the other half came from around Insterburg and Gumbinnen, now part of the Russian administered Königsberg enclave.

 

The results of my research can be found on the rootsweb worldconnect database, and I am developing this webpage to provide some additional information.  To start with here are the data I extracted from some East Prussian parish registers. When I studied the microfilms, I only made notes of the families that interested me, and therefore these notes represent only a small extract from the parish registers. However, if you happen to research some of the same families, you may find these records useful. I also have some maps!
