I did not see any replies sent to this message, and I was wondering the same thing myself. Does anyone know if there is a list of what districts the abbreviated letters stand for?

I believe someone did post an answer, explaining that there's a window on that site (http://www.herby.com.pl/herby/indexslo.html) that shows you the abbreviations. On the main page, a few lines below the box where you input the surname, there's a line in blue that says "Tutaj znajduja sie objasnienia skrotow" [The abbreviations are explained here]. If you click on it, a window opens that lists the abbreviations and the provinces they stand for. The province names are given in adjectival form, but they're not hard to figure out. Also in that window, right below the top line "Wykaz skrotow nazw wojewodztw," is a link "Zobacz mape" -- click on it and you get a map of Poland showing the provinces by abbreviation. To close the map, click on "Zamknij mape"; to close the abbreviations window, click on "Zamknij wykaz." Or you can read my article "The Slownik nazwisk Is Still Online" in _Gen Dobry!_: http://www.polishroots.org/gendobry/PDF/GenDobry_VII_11.pdf In that article I tried to answer this and many other questions people have about how to use that site. Personally I think it's the best way to get these answers -- but then, I am somewhat biased! Fred Hoffman
