I am trying to find the town my great-grandfather came from. I was told he came >From the Galicia area. My uncle always told me he came from Tarnow or some town Like that. I have done research of different towns in the area and I have found The Czekaj name but to no avail. His name was Mikolaj Czekaj and born around 1865. I think Mikolaj translates to Nicholas but in city directories his name is Michael Czekaj. I tried everything to find the town but nothing. Does anyone Know of a database (similar to The Poznan Project) that I can search? I found my Other ggf and ggm marriage on the Poznan database. Any info that can point me in The right direction would be great. There's too many small towns with their own Records to keep spot searching.

In the church baptism records you will find Nicholas which seems to be Latin for Mikolaj. My grandfather was Mikolaj, but went by Nick in Chicago. I have living Ciukaj [sounds pretty similar to me] cousins living in the Tarnow area today (the town is Niedomice). There is a database similar to the Poznan marriage project, but I don't know the address. I think maybe I saw it on the Home page of the Poznan project???
