Older maps of the area around Dubiecko, Poland (such as the 1855 map below) clearly show the location of the village of Ruska Wie\u015b across the San River from Dubiecko. However, current maps, (such as those on https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps<\/a> and https:\/\/mapa.szukacz.pl\/<\/a>) show no village called Ruska Wie\u015b where it had appeared on 19th-century maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both of these brief entries indicate that a village called either Ruska Wie\u015b or Dubiecko Ruskie is now known as Wybrze\u017ce. Unfortunately, the volume of Nazwy Miejscowe Polski (Polish Place Names)<\/em> that would provide details about the multiple names of the village of Wybrze\u017ce has not yet been published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Polish Wikipedia entry on Wybrze\u017ce<\/a> states that the village was originally called Dubiecko, from the 15th century until 31 Jul 1947 it was called Ruska Wie\u015b, and from 03 Sep 1949 it was called Brze\u017cyna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
