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: Ciechocinek and Radziejów. I used Photoshop 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.

The villages with “stars” are the Polish villages that are listed above under “Locations”. Only the locations of Wincenty’s families residence are marked with “stars”. The locations of their children are not marked on this map. 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/

The map below was taken from Targeo.pl. The map shows the locations of the following villages (parishes): Palczewo (Piotrków Parish) and Goczki (Mąkoszyn Parish). The link for the map can be found here:
