    3. This site has some a good listing of city names, some older that I've been able to find towns that don't exist anymore. The link is into towns that start with KOLA and you can take a look in there. Warsaw is at 52.25 Lat 21 Long and there are a few towns around 52 Lat. http://www.fallingrain.com/world/PL/a/K/o/l/a/ . One thing to keep in mind, if you know any Polish or have friends/family who do - Ellis Island more often than not butchered the names. For example, my Great Grandpa came from a town around Warsawa called 'Nidzgora' and the folks at Ellis Island spelled it 'Nicgora' - the C in place of DZ resulted in me searching for the wrong place for a long time until I found the fallingrain web site. There is a town called 'Kolaczyce' which depending on how you slur it ... Could sound like your Kolacryce. - Jeff -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com [mailto:gc-gateway@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of deible@sbcglobal.net Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 11:00 PM To: POL-MAZOWIECKIE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Pol-Maz] Looking for town listed on passenger list for Walter Stec from Ellis Is. website This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Stec Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AdC.2ACE/1084 Message Board Post: Town listed on ship manifest for Wladyslav and his sister, Antonina on the printed manifest is "Gai...en". On the original manifest it appears to be listed as "Kolacryce'. Family history says that they came from a town near Warsaw. Have checked historical maps of 1900 but cannot find either town. Did find one spelled Kolacinek. Can anyone help with this puzzle? ==== POL-MAZOWIECKIE Mailing List ==== Want to browse the mailing list archives?
