----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Our patron, Tim Parrott, spent some time researching the names of the villages you asked about. He has found the following: the village you called "Lusie" is actually "Lucie" in Polish (or "Lutsie" in Russian). It is located in the Ukraine at 50 07 N / 28 06 E. There are two villages in the Ukraine which may be the "Zeleznica" (Polish name) you're looking for. They are: "Zheleznitse" located at 50 41 N / 26 58 E and "Zheleznitsa" located at 51 41 N / 25 34 E As for "Holendry" (Polish name), it is "Golendry" in Russian, and there are several of those in the Ukraine. Tim suggests you consult RUSSISCHES GEOGRAPHISCHES NAMENBUCH (published 1964-1981) for information about changes in the names of towns. Hope this helps!
