I found a list in a book from 1779, with orphant children, and heir names and towns of origin were listed in old letters. By one entry on that list, "Milschau" was a town or village. No further information was provided.

"Milschauland" probably refers to the surrounding country, which can have been in Posen (a district that in past times was known as Chodziez), near Kolmar, which exists until today.

Could also have been the land around a hill or small river of that name. But I find none of that name.

Kolmar in today's Poland is not to be mistaken with Colmar in Elsass-Lothringen.
