See entry 1. What is your take on the place name in this record? Is it Mikorwschen Vorwerk Sellingam/ Selling am krane?These records came from the Gross Nossin, Köslin, Pommern. I believe it may be Solling it is referring to.

Hello @Angela Cloward,
At least the first part of the name is probably referring to the village and estate of Mickrow, which is approximately 8 miles northeast of Gross Nossin.
Here is the link for Mickrow from Meyers Gazetteer: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/20182014

Would this be the entire place name? Mikorwschen Vorwerk Sellingam/ Selling am krane
In this case would it translate to Mikrowian farm Selling on Crane? Or Mikrowian farm Sellingam Crane?

Hello Angela,
The rest of the place name is a mystery to me: Selling am Krown? Selling am Kronen? Selling am Krane? Or is the first word perhaps a single word Sellingam?
If you are comfortable that the place is in or close to Mickrow, then if it were me, that is what I would use as the place name or perhaps as you suggest the Mickrowian farm.
