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 “stars” are the locations that Wojciech Pankowski and Łucja Kochanowska 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:

• Wojciech and Łucja most likely had a child during the following time period: 1836-1837.
• Wojciech and Łucja lived within another parish.
• Józefa Pankowska died as a child.
• Jan and Łucja most likely had a child during the following time period: 1852-1854

Research Leads/Plans:

• Check the surrounding parish LDS films for birth/death in 1836-1850 – possible Pankowski child.
• Check Straszewo Parish films  for birth/death in 1852-1854 – possible Wawrzyniak child.
• Search for B-M-D records for the remaining family members.
