Hi Bonnie, I cannot recall the help you have had to date. If you use this site you can find similar sounding locations. http://www.jewishgen.org/communities/loctown.asp If these two people married in Poland and you think they are from relatively nearby villages, the easiest way to search I think may be to look at the distance these various places are from Jazlowiec i.e. enter its coordinates into the 'Show the distance and direction from' section. Jazłowiec, Pomortsy, Yablonevka, Yazlovets populated place 48°58' N 25°26' E E M U G Ukraine 248.5 miles WSW of Kyyiv 50°26' N 30°31' E Is this the correct location fory your Jazlowiec? You will still have a lot of results to look through in the absence of any other hints. Kind regards, Bronwyn.
