[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Elzbiecin map location

[marlo]

Jerry,  our thanks to you for the map.  I had to use the Austro Hungarian 
one because the other one did not come in but it
was fine, I followed your directions and found it along with the village 
where her sister was born.  Thank you.  I used my camera to take pictures, I 
hope they come out, I could not print it.  I was surprised when I opened the 
map and read the Hungarian written on top.  I am a first generation 
American-Hungarian.  All our thanks, we knew she came from Russia but this 
pin points it much better.    Margaret
