[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Szklaney Bozynskiey

[Jan Textor]

After having sent the below message I suddenly remembered that I have seen
some early Catholic records from Chodecz where the priest had written Uta
Chodecka instead of Huta Chodecka. The genitive form of Uta would be Ucie,
and I therefore suggest that "w Ucu Szklaney Bozynskiey" should read "w Ucie
Szklaney Bardzyndskiey".
