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: Lipusz, Kościerzyna, Wielki Klińcz, Dziemiany, Wąglikowice, Nowe Polaszki, Lubna, Wiele, Konarzyny, Brusy, Karsin, and Czarna Woda. 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.

Prussian Poland

Map Key:

Assumptions/Theories/Roadblocks:

• Regina was born @1778 in a village of the Lipusz Parish to her parents Jakub and Konstancja Wierzba.
• Szymon and Regina married in 1805 in the Lipusz Parish or Leśno Parish.
• Marianna Jakubek was born in the Lipusz Parish in 1810.
• Szymon and Regina had at least one more child between 1807-1809. This child most likely died before 1818.

Research Leads/Plans:

• Search for B-M-D records for the remaining family members.
• Piece together most likely family scenarios based on available B-M-D records.
