Deborah-----go to the map site: http://mapa.szukacz.pl Enter Gubernia under the word Miejscowosc and then click on Pokaz. A map will come up with your town encircled. You can then move around the map by filling in the blue circle under the Zbliz and clicking on Oddal to zoom in and out. Also you should see some arrows to move right to left and up and down on the map. Charles Chase Wavey34@aol.com wrote: I need some help with some new info that I just received. I am looking for the town that my gt grandparents came from. My mother just found a note that had my gt grandfather's name Teophil Bastecki b. 22 Feb 1886, d. 6 May 1977 and my gt grandmother Josephine Zembrzuski b. 13 Aug 1883, d. 12 Feb 1968. Below that it said "think they were born in Gubernia Pletzka, Poland or Gubernia of Pletzka Luvow". I have tried to look these names up and don't come up with anything. I have my gt grandparents marriage certificate. They were married 9 Jul 1906 in Allegheny County, Pa and resided in Sagamore, Pa and Natrona, Pa. They were both Catholic. The marriage cert. says that they were both from Russia but my gt grandfather's death cert. and census info say that he was from Poland. He was a miner in Pa. They had many children...Vera, Archie, Henry, John, George, Freda, Alberta, Gerarda Stella (my grandmother), and some that died at a very early age. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am feeling a bit stuck right now. Thank you. Deborah Clark **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
