Frank: On the map Jerry sent, the town name is spelled Trzemzal (the
Polish spelling). On the Karte des Deutschen Reiches map (circa 1880) it
is the German spelling, Tschemsal. You may need both spellings for your
research. The village was in the R.C. parish of Tremessen, now
Trzemeszno; in the Mogilno powiat (or kries) and the Westfelde
(Krzyzownica) gmina.

Good luck with your search,
