I don’t know who this Stanislaw Dymek is or whether he connects into the family I’m researching .\u00a0 However, he listed his place of birth as Peosutno Dymki, which is a promising lead for the family of interest .\u00a0 I have not found the village of Dymki on a map, and the S\u0142ownki Geograficzny lists no parish for Dymki .\u00a0 However, the village of Piasutno does appear on maps in the right area, and the S\u0142ownik Geograficzny<\/em> does have an entry for Piasutno .\u00a0 Perhaps this clue will help me find the correct parish for the Dymeks.<\/p>\n

The villages in the Czerwone Gmina, Kolno Powiat, \u0141om\u017ca Gubernia belonged to one of three parishes: Kolno, Lachowo, or Ma\u0142y P\u0142ock. Which of these is the correct parish for Dymki?
