Gross Byslaw (Byslaw), Kreis Tuchel, West Prussia
Gross Byslaw had the Lutheran and Catholic churches that served many nearby villages like those that in which the Remus family lived (
Minikowo and Teolog) and villages like Byslawek. Here are pictures of the village and church (built in 1880 to replace an earlier wooden church):
