Masovian Websites and Resources

Hello,

It looks as though the Olszewka Village that my Murach ancestors had come from is located to the northwest of Ostroleka and can be seen on the map below.

The village of Olszewka belongs to the Ostroleka Parish, but the film dates needed to trace my Murach ancestors have yet to be filmed. I may be able to find Murach’s within the films that have been recorded, but I would be unable to connect them to my great-grandmother Antonia Murach or her parents.

Masovian Websites that I have found helpful are:
