who can read or find this place in Pommern?
My ancestor Joachim Friedrich Wendt was born somewhere in Pommern. In his death record there is a place in Pommern where he was born in 1794, but I can't quite identify which place that is. You can find the place name on page 545, bottom row 5th and 9th column. In Meyer's gazetter we cannot find any place in Pommern that matches it. Maybe you are more successful? Here is the link to the original record:
In column 9 it also mentions the occupation of Jacob Friedrich Wendt. Are you able to read it? I wasn't able to read that one either or find a job title that looks similar.
I am grateful for any suggestions.
Thank you very much!

The program in Community changes link when they are given their own line. If a link in a white box doesn't work, change the %3A to a : and it should be findable. The correct link is: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSCT-5WYV?cc=3015626

Hi Linda,
It looks something like Bauersdorf but I cannot find any village by that name in any maps of Pommern. I did find other records that refer to a Bauersdorf (Bauerstorf) in Pommern such as:

The brother of the above Wilhelm Mahncke died in Berlin and was also reported to be born in Bauersdorf, Kreis Grimmen (no country stated, but Kreis Grimmen is in Pommern):
The Kreis Grimmen area makes sense because that area of Pommern is close to where your Wendts were in Marlow and Kuhlrade.
Since your Wendt married in 1820 in Mecklenburg, I wonder if you might be able to find him in the 1819 Mecklenburg census. That often will also give the place of birth.
I also found this geneology info that might provide a clue where Bauersdorf is:
http://www.friede-abrahamson-genealogy.com/p117.htm
It reports a Fredericka Awe born 16 Aug 1849 in Bauersdorf, Kreis Grimmen and baprized 26 Aug 1849 in Nehringen, Kreis Grimmen.
So Nehringen was apparently the nearest parish. You might try looking at Nehringen parish records for your Wendts.

I'm seeing in this wiki article that Bauersdorf is now called Keffenbrink!
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehringen
So this might be where your Wendt is from. It is just 1 mile north of Nehringen and has no Parish according to Meyers Gazeteer. The nearest protestant parish is Nehringen. The nearest Catholic parish is in Demmin.
