Jeffrey,
The place you are searching for is probably Moschuetz (umlaut u), or
Mos~ciska in Polish, located at the coordinates 53.11' N - 17.00' E, in the
former District of Posen (not West Prussia), the below address will show you
the location:

ngitude=17.0000&size=big

The Catholic parish was at Wissek (Polish=Wysoka), and the Lutheran parish
was at Grabau (Polish=Grabowo).

Hope this helps,
Jan Textor, Denmark
