OSTPREUSSEN WORGUL- PROSSEK
INTRODUCTION
This genealogy records
the lineage of my great grandfather, Jacob Worgul, whose12 children
were born in Sabielnen between 1847-1869. It is believed
that some of these children married and had children of their
own, and their descendants are living in Germany and other countries
today. Through this web site, an attempt will be made to find
those descendants of Jacob Worgul and his two wives. To this
end, genealogies from other Worgul families will be listed on
this site in the hopes that links between various Worgul families
will be discovered. Other historical information about Worguls
will also be listed, especially those who lived in Canonsburg,
