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: 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 “unfilled diamonds” are the locations that Stanisław and Jadwiga lived.
• The villages with “solid octagon” are the locations that the couple’s children were married.
• The village with the “8-point star” is the location that Stanisław and Konstancja married.

More information for the villages within this article can be found on the Slownik Geograficzny Translations page on this website: http://www.apagr.com/slownik-geograficzny-translations/

Assumptions:

There is possibly another parish locations where Stanisław and Jadwiga lived and worked outside of the Byczyna area.

Research Leads:

• Check the Byczyna LDS films for birth/marriage/death pre-1821 for Wolęcki family records.
• Check for Wojciechowski family records around Lubomin/Boniewo/Iżbica Kujawska Parishes.
