Maps:
The map below is a combination of maps found on the website for Map Archive of Wojskowy Instytut Geograficzny: http://english.mapywig.org/news.php. The map below is derived from the following areas: Kościerzyna, Tczew, Małbork, Czersk, Starogard Gdański, Sztum, Tuchola, Nowe, Łasin-Kwidzyn. I used Image Composite Editor to merge the maps into a panorama of the area where my ancestors were located. The map is not 100% aligned, but it does give a general idea of where villages were located.

Map Key:
- The villages with “stars” are the locations that Ignacy Olszewski and/or Anna Moczyńska lived.
- The villages with “diamonds” are the locations that the couple’s children lived.
More information for the villages within this article can be found on the Słownik Geograficzny Translations page on this website: http://www.apagr.com/slownik-geograficzny-translations/
Assumptions/Theories/Roadblocks:
- Marriages records for the couples children in the surrounding parishes are only available through the Family Search website at the local FHC’s – which are closed at this time.
- Paweł Machajewski and Katarzyna Olszewska married in 1863/1864 – the record is missing or I cannot find it.
Research Leads/Plans:
- Search for B-M-D records for the remaining family members.
- Piece together most likely family scenarios based on available B-M-D records.
