Looking for a town in Germany-Poland (circa 1868-1882) Kronow

5 Apr 2020 #1

My grandparents were married (1868) and lived in Kronow until they immigrated to the USA in 1881. Based on verified information that I have, it would have been in "Germany-Poland" in the area from Gdansk as far south as Posan (now Poznan). I cannot find a record or location of this town. Where should I look?

There are several places called Kronowo

I guess all of them would have been in the Prussian partition.

Some records from one of these places are indexed here

There are two or three places called Kronowo. in Warmia-Mazury. They are south-east of Gdańsk and were part of Germany in that period. Kronow sounds like a (official then) German rendering. One was called Kronau before 1945, the others I'm not sure about.
