Hello fellow Map-Ler's!
I have a question regarding the name of a town in Poland. A patron trying
to track down a family history believes that ancesters at one time lived
in a town named Minsk Mazowiecki, Poland (52.10 N 21.31 E). She is under
the impression that the town, during several changes in possession,
also had a change in name sometime during the time period 1900-1914. We
are lacking in any historical maps of Poland at that level of detail for
that time period. Would some kind soul out there, mind checking for a
possible change in name for us? Or point us to a source we might be able
to get our hands on, that would provide us this information? I would be
greatly indebted. If I can provide any additional information on this
please feel free to contact me.
Thanks in advance!
