Hello.
I am researching my husband's mother's side of the family and finally learned of this site. The Herrgesell's and Landt's lived in this area of Germany, Austria , Prussia. Landt s lived in Flensburg, Schleswig-Holstein. I vaguely remember seeing the name Grimm somewhere in my info, but will have to check that out.
Herrgesell's and Landts lived in this place and eventually many moved to Michigan. They marriedand died in Michigan.
Many are buried in the Lakeside Cemetary. . There are many names married into this family from Europe.
I am wondering if anyone knows of a place that could be Engelsberg. I believe that village is gone and another village erected over it with a 2 part name. I bet the last part is Holstein! The Herrgesells supposedly came from there. Their house was divided by the Austrian/Prussian border and they had a grist mill there. I believe this is where the Pietsch, Kretschmers and Herrgesell lived.
