Village Coordinator:  Victor Knell & Ed Schulz

Remarks:  The village of Brienne was founded by families originally from the Royal Prussian District of Bromberg.  They arrived in the newly-formed Polish Duchy of Warsaw in 1807 and finally moving on to Russia.  The families spent 2 years in the nearby Moldavian village of Kauschani.
