Surnames: Prochnow Mantenfel
Am researching Prochnow family from Rugenwalde. Early 1860's Churchbook records in Ontario Canada say "Regenwald" but thinking perhaps the same placename. Wilhelm Prochnow, born in July 1829, came to Canada about 1854. One child born to Wilhelm Prochnow & Louisa Mantenfel (Hermann about 1853 Germany died in Ontario). Later wife, Elizabeth Thoel from same area Germany. Sister Amelia b1840 also came Canada at same time or close to and married John Dietz. Auguste Otilie Pauline b1834 & Frederike Louise b1830 also came to Canada similar emigration date on census for Canada. Not sure but they may have been siblings. Any guidance you are able provide regarding these individuals or doing research in area of Regenawald would be greatly appreciated.
