When I search for MIGDA? on the Herby site (using the wild card ? so as to match plain L and slash-L), I find 178 Polish citizens named MIGDAL, and 2,783 named MIGDAL with slash-L: Migdal 178 Wa:14, BP:3, Cz:1, Gd:1, Go:7, Ka:12, Lu:56, Ld:31, Ol:4, Pt:11, Pr:7, Ra:4, Sr:14, Sz:2, Ta:1, Wl:2, Wr:3, ZG:5 Migdal 2783 Wa:107, BB:251, By:30, Ch:1, Ci:5, Cz:124, El:2, Gd:52, Go:59, JG:61, Kl:28, Ka:210, Ki:68, Kn:56, Ko:7, Kr:404, Ks:4, Lg:45, Ls:8, Lu:12, Ld:68, NS:13, Ol:22, Op:77, Os:6, Pl:17, Pt:36, Pl:1, Po:54, Pr:8, Ra:51, Sr:15, Sk:16, Sl:11, Su:11, Sz:72, Tb:8, Ta:531, To:15, Wb:55, Wl:2, Wr:72, Za:8, ZG:80 It appears to me the Migdals are right where they should be. Did I misunderstand your question? Incidentally, you can get more accurate and more recent data (2002) on MIGDAL with plain L here: http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/migdal.html And 2002 data on the far more common form with slash-L is here: http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/migda%25C5%2582.html I hope this clarifies things a little. Or if I misunderstood your question, tell me so. Fred Hoffman ********************************* Need to contact the list manager?

Dom, This database tells you how many people with specific surnames lived in Poland in 1990. It's not completely accurate (the 2002 database is better) but it does the job. Type the surname in the box. The site does require Polish diacriticals however. You can usually cut and paste most of them from the web page itself. Or, you can use an asterisk * in place of a letter with a diacritical. You can find a detailed how-to in an old issue of Gen Dobry e-zine: http://www.polishroots.org/gendobry/PDF/GenDobry_VII_11.pdf Start on page 4.
