    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/RdC.2ACI/543.2.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Ann, I have pondered this for a while. Every single place mentioned in his Address of Last Residence ouside U.K. is not spelled correctly, except for the word Poland. I assume Roszka means Russia. There is no place named Daria, Jalowko or Bielzstok. The closest to this seems to be Jalowka, of which there are 4 places with this name ... all of them close to Bialystok, Poland. I remember this area being in the province of Bialostockie before 1975. It may have also been that in 1942. If you use the Shtetlseeker at http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/LocTown.asp, you will find 4 places in Poland named Jalowka, all in the vicinity of Bialystok (the city) and in the old province of Bialostockie. http://www.pilot.pl also only shows 4 places in Poland named Jalowka. If you will go to this site, it will give you the name of the gmina where two of the places are located. Gmina is a village, town or city where the records are kept for designated districts within a powiat (county). I will try to figure out in what gmina the other two are located, when I get home from work. I hope I don't forget. Since Jozef Wojciechowski was born less than 100 years ago, there are only two places where you can find records on him. One is the gmina and the other would be his parish. I'll also check to find out the name of the parishes for these 4 places for you. Tina Ellis
