[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Villiage of Nietrzeba

[Jerry Frank]

Erik sent me a copy of a couple of the records.  They have about the nicest 
script I have ever seen on any record coming out of Poland.  The place name 
is very clearly written as Nietrzeba.

At this time, using several resources, I have not been able to find such a 
place in the Lipno region.  There is no question about it being located 166 
miles from Lipno.  That simply would never happen on a regular basis.  An 
exception would be the recording in a marriage or death record of a place 
of birth.  However, that would be contained within the record in 
context.  The example records show Nietrzeba in the margin, indicating that 
it is a local village.

I did a general GOOGLE search for Nietrzeba.  It appears to be a relatively 
common Polish surname.  It is possible, therefore, that this is the estate 
name of a local nobleman which only existed for a short period of time.  I 
am looking at some other sources and will report back if I find anything.
