Hi Paul,

There may be another possibility than the Wischin Hauland mentioned by
James Birkholz. In his book "Siedlungen zwischen Warthe und Netze",
Walther Maas also mentions the same Wischin Hld. near Kolmar, but there
is also a reference to a Wyszynskie Hld. near Konin located near the
village of Wyszyna.

Today you will find Wyszyna at the coordinates 5209 1824, and 2 km south
of this location there was/is a village called Wyszyna Kolonia. In 1865,
the closest Evangelical parish (and church) was at Wladyslawow (also
called Russocice) about 7 km ESE. Other Evangelical parishes were at
Konin, about 12 km NW, and at Turek, about 13 km SSE. During the time
period mentioned by you, this area was in Congress Poland, governed by
the Russians.

As far as I know, the terms "gottesdienstliches Lokal" and/or
"Kirchlokal" do not indicate a church proper, but a facility where
services could be performed.
