Need help locating West Prussian ancestral village

Pat Sachs

I have found several records from St. Catherines in Brodnica (formerly Strasburg, West Prussia) that list my ancestors' village as Suburbio St. Georgij. It appears that town no longer exists. Does anyone know where that village is/was or how I can go about locating it? I have tried Kartenmeister but it doesn't show up. Thanks for your help.

    If the parish priest only wrote the name of the village and no other levels, it would indicate that the village is quite near and everyone would know it. So, to that end, can you locate Brodnica in Kartenmeister? If you can locate it then search around it for a village nearby. Here is a list of other gazetteers that cover the area of Poland that you might try to see if you can locate it.
