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: Szczecinek, Debrzno, Chojnice, Wałcz, Fłatów, Więbork, Piła, Wyrzyk, and Nakło. 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 Walenty Kujawa and/or Ewa Borzych 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:

• The Sypniewo Parish is missing baptismal records between 1802-1822.
• Walenty died in a neighboring parish.

Research Leads/Plans:

• Search for B-M-D records for the remaining family members.
• Search for death of Elżbieta Straszyńska nee Kujawa.
• Search for marriage of Wawrzyniec Straszyński and Marianna Kujawa.
