Map of the Polish Village of Piasutno (Kolno Powiat)

Posted on February 13, 2011 by Steve

Of the two places called Piasutno in the Słownik Geograficzny Królestwa Polskiego i Innych Krajów Słowiańskich (Geographical Dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland and other Slavonic Countries), the first is located in the Kolno Powiat. The village of Piasutno is named on the Third Military Mapping Survey of Austria-Hungary as Piasutno itself, as Poreby-Piasutno and as Ludwy-Piasutno. Piasutno is in the Gawrychy Gmina, but Ludwy-Piasutno is probably in the Czerwone Gmina, based on its location relative to other villages (Gietki and Niksowizna) in the Czerwone Gmina. Piasutno is in the Mały Płock Parish, as are Gietki and Niksowizna. The Słownik Geograficzny entry for Piasutno was translated in a previous post. Continue reading →

The Polish and Prussian Villages of Piasutno

Posted on February 11, 2011 by Steve

Several of my cousins descend from Józef Dymek of Dymki, Kolno, Łomża in Poland. The Słownik Geograficzny Królestwa Polskiego i Innych Krajów Słowiańskich (Geographical Dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland and other Slavonic Countries) lists three villages called Dymki, but the one that matches this location, the first in the Słownik Geograficzny entry, does not provide the location of the parish where the records would be located. A search for the surname Dymek in the World War II draft registrations revealed that a Stanisław Dymek was from Peosutno Dymki, which I believe may either be the same village for which I am looking or may be another village nearby. Two villages called Piasutno are described in the Słownik Geograficzny. Continue reading →

The World War II Draft Registration Card for Stanislaw Dymek

Posted on February 10, 2011 by Steve

While trying to find information on where in Poland the family of Józef Dymek originated, I learned that the family came from Dymki, Kolno (Powiat), Łomża (Gubernia). However, there is no indication of the name of the parish where the records for Dymki were maintained. The Słownik Geograficzny Królestwa Polskiego i Innych Krajów Słowiańskich (Geographical Dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland and other Slavonic Countries) only states that this village of Dymki was in the Czerwone Gmina. The villages in the Czerwone Gmina, Kolno Powiat, Łomża Gubernia belonged to one of three parishes: Kolno, Lachowo, or Mały Płock. Which of these is the correct parish for Dymki? To try to narrow the search further, I looked through the World War I and World War II draft cards for men in Massachusetts with the surname Dymek (or some variant). One such card contained some interesting information. Continue reading →
