----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Lisa, The U.S. Board on Geographic Names file for Poland (maintained by the Defense Mapping Agency) shows Minsk Mazowiecki as a town located at 52 deg. 11 min. N 21 deg. 34 min. E. Our file for Poland was last updated in 1990 so this should be rather reliable. We have no evidence of a name change, though apparently the town has been referred to as simply Minsk in some sources. You can access the BGN files on the World Wide Web at url http://164.214.2.50.
