Oskar Kossmann's chart "Entwicklung der laendlichen deutschen Siedlung im
nordwestlichen Kongresspolen (1800, 1825, 1835, 1935)" shows a village
called Adamow about halfway between Piotrkow (Petrikau) and Tomaszow.
According to Kossmann it was founded after 1835.  On my contemporary road
map of Poland it is shown to be on the northwestern bank of the lake "Zalew
Sulejowski", right between Piotrkow Trybunalski and Tomaszow Mazowiecki.  If
we assume that Parkow is equal to Piotrkow (Petrikau) then this might well
be the Adamow that Chris Matchinski is looking for.

Hope this helps.
