Errors all over the place

On the internet and in "family" records, there are many errors, and the like.

Now EJ is not an ancestor, but he is likely a cousin, nephew, or brother of Samuel. We are from the Julius, Gustav, Gustave, Samuel line. The reason to beleive this is Gustav came to Marshall, which is where EJ was at in 1880.
"From: Leaves from the life of a pioneer, 1997: t.p. (Senator Emil Julius Meilicke) p. 4 of cover (b. 19 July 1852, Woldenberg, Germany; elected to Minnesota State Senate; moved to Saskatchewan) p. ix (E.J. Meilicke; d. 1934)."

Now the above statement is just wrong. Germany did not exist in 1870 when they left, It was the Kingdom of Prussia. German was in a discussion" stage, under the Kaiser.  Woldenberg is 50 miles inside Poland today, and is now Dobiegniew, Poland.

He moved to Sask. with his sons after the turn of the century and founded a town by the name of Dundurn (this is where the lumber yard was). He wrote a book called "Leaves from the life of a Pioneer" which was re-printed by the University of Sask very recently. Later in life he moved, once again with his sons, to Vancouver BC."

It seems that Plonitz is an area just north of Dobiegniew, within the the current boundaries.
