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

11.) Zakrzewo, a village and grange [large manorial farmstead] in the Mak\u00f3w Powiat, Karniewo Gmina, and Mak\u00f3w Parish (4 versts distant) versts [0.66 miles per verst]. In the year 1885, the Zakrzewo grange extended 206 morgs [in the Russian partition 1 morg = 1.388 acres]: 167 morgs of [arable] land and gardens, 20 morgs of meadows, 12 morgs of pastures, 8 morgs of wastelands. There are 7 wooden buildings. The village of Zakrzewo includes 4 settlements and 5 morgs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The place described in this entry is only one of at least 37 places in Poland called Zakrzewo.<\/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
