The village of Chodkowo (Chotkowo) is significant in my family history because many of my Chodkowski (Chotkowski) ancestors lived there. The village belonged to the parish of Podo\u015b until 1828, after which time the village belonged to the parish of P\u0142oniawy.<\/p>\n

Click on the link for a PDF copy of the S\u0142ownik Geograficzny entry for Chodkowo<\/a>. Translated from the Polish, the entry reads:<\/p>\n

Chotkowo, <\/strong>an area of nobles in the Mak\u00f3w Powiat, P\u0142oniawy Gmina and Parish. Within its limits lie the villages Chodkowo biernaty, Chodkowo wielkie, Chodkowo kuchny and Chodkowo za\u0142ogi. In the year 1827, Chodkowo wielkie included 18 homes and 104 residents, Chodkowo biernaty included 11 homes and 41 residents, Chodkowo kuchny included 15 homes and 80 residents, and Chodkowo za\u0142ogi included 20 homes and 98 residents. Bronis\u0142aw Chlebowski<\/em><\/p>\n

Chotkowo, <\/strong>a wood and iron station on the Moscow to Jaros\u0142aw [railroad] in the Moscow Gubernia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The second entry for Chotkowo has nothing to do with the village of my ancestors, but I included it here for completeness.<\/p>\n

The maps of the Third Military Mapping Survey of Austria-Hungary and the entries in the S\u0142ownik Geograficzny were prepared at about the same time and make a good pair for studying places in and around the Congress Kingdom of Poland at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, a time period when the Eastern European ancestors of present-day Americans left their homelands for the United States.<\/p>\n
