A search in ShtetlSeeker (Soundex/all countries) shows that the town formerly
known as SCHIRWINDT is now KUTUZOVO, in Russia. The coordinates are 5447
2251. It is located 582.3 miles W of Moscow. I assume this was formerly in
East Prussia and is now part of the Kalingrad enclave.

Please, everyone, learn to use the Jewishgen Shtetlseeker. It's quick and
easy.
