Cherie, like the U.S., Germany has always been made up of states.Nassau (capital: Wiesbaden) was a German state, and Prussia (capital: Berlin) was a German state.Your ancestor could not have been from two states at once!To say that your ancestor was from "Nassau, Prussia" would be like saying that an American was from, for example, "Wisconsin, Nebraska".Your ancestor was either from the state of Nassau or he was from the state of Prussia.You really won't be able to proceed until you clarify which of the two states he was actually from.
