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: Inowrocław, Ciechocinek, Lipno, Mogilno, Radziejów, Włocławek, Słupca, Sompolno, Kłodawa, Konin, Koło, and Łęczyca. 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 Franciszek and Katarzyna lived.
- The villages with “solid diamonds” are the locations that the couple’s children lived.
