Dont beat me -please :)

When we lived in germany when I was a little girl - I would get a doll from each country that we visited - which was just about all of the ones that were considered not to be part of the USSR at the time.
I should of kept the boxes these dolls came in but I did not. I know where half of them are from, can yall help me with the rest? Pretty please?

Photobucket
I know the last two - Norway and Wales but the first one is unknown and I've tried googling what her apron says and get nothing.

Photobucket
Same with this one. Its the first one I am unsure of, the 2nd and 3rd are of course holland and belgium


Photobucket
I am unsure on all three of these. I think that perhaps they represent the 3 areas of Germany (kinda like states if I remember correctly) there is one that I can pronounce but won't even attempt to spell since I cant even get it close enough for Google to figure it out.

Thanks so much ahead of time to those who try to help and those who do help!

There's not terribly much to go on... Sorry, I haven't a clue. Have you tried looking at any doll collectors websites?

Is the one in the brown dress seriously meant to be a girl from wales? The traditional outfit of Wales is nothing like that, plus they would have brown eyes, not blue.

This is the tradional dress

The first picture, the one with the apron with a building on looks like a Venice doll
