Jane, They're two different villages. ;) Dolna means lower and Go~rna means upper. Looking at the map you would think they were named backwards (north/south) but the upper and lower could refer to elevation. Gwoznica Dolna and Gwoznica Go~rna (note spelling correction) are both in gmina Niebylec. Gwoznica Go~rna is a parish and it looks like both villages belong to this parish. If LDS hasn't filmed records for Gwoznica Go~rna parish then you can write to the priest and ask him (short, to the point, in Polish) for the record. Once you see the record you'll probably know in which Gwoznica your grandfather was born. Your grandparents probably did not know each other in Poland.
