Freystadt 2) NdSchles. Freystadt, Liegnitz, Schlesien, Preussen

There is no 'Freistadt' anywhere in Schlesien in 1912; the Kreisstadt is spelled Freystadt, in Niederschlesien, Regierungsbezirk Liegnitz. The row says 'Silesia, Germany', which excludes the Austrian-Silesian Freistadt (Frystat), and the tree's other Freistadt rows (#8339, #8389, #8742) name villages of that Kreis. Stored pin 49.4370/9.0535 was in Baden-Wurttemberg. Today Kozuchow, Poland.
