fatboybill on 2017-11-07 03:41:23Ranglacken was known as Eichental since 1992 but is now considered Aufgelassen (abandoned).
Kaliningrad is the nearest large town. Puschdorf is now called Pushkarevo and has a train station.
The area of Insterburg is now called Cerniachovsk.
The Russians changed the germanic town names to their own.
Hope this helps. I am currently researching Franz Gottlieb. I belong to the Evelyn Martha Schwartfeger line.
