A m\u00f3rg is a measure of area – theoretically the amount of land one man could plow in a single day. The actual size of a m\u00f3rg varied between the Polish Partitions: 1 m\u00f3rg in the Russian Partition was 1.388 acres, in the Prussian Partition a m\u00f3rg was 0.631 acres, and in the Austrian Partition a m\u00f3rg was 1.422 acres. Since Mosaki (or Mossaki) was in the Russian Partition, 1 m\u00f3rg in Mosaki was equal to about 1.388 acres.<\/span><\/p>\n This entry states that Mossaki-Godacze was part of Mossaki. The reference to Godzcze in Wojciech Niedzia\u0142kowski’s Birth and Baptismal Record apparently means Mossaki-Godacze, and therefore both the Birth and Baptismal Record and the Death Record are correct.<\/span><\/p>\n At the time this entry was published in 1885, Mossaki-Godacze had just 6 houses and 44 inhabitants.<\/span><\/p>\n This entry also verifies that Krasne is the parish for the village of Mossaki and that Mossaki is a village of lower-level nobility.<\/span><\/p>\n Click on the link for a PDF copy of the S\u0142ownik Geograficzny Kr\u00f3lestwa Polskiego<\/em>\u00a0entry for Mosaki\/Mossaki<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2006 by Stephen J.
