[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] location of villages

[Rose Ingram]

Pending hearing further from Penny and the Surnames she is researching, I 
suspect she may be heading for the area around Dabie.

There is a Szczepanow about 9 km NNW of Dabie.  There is larger town of 
Sobotka about 19 km NE of Dabie, and the village of Sobotka about 2 km West 
of Dabie.  If she is searching for Grams in these villages, there are plenty 
in this area.

Penny,

Re 2.
As far as I know, there is no place in Poland called Szczapanow.  However,
there are at least six villages or towns called Szczepanów.  One of these is
located at the coordinates 50.01'N 20.40'E, 17.6 kilometers ENE of Bochnia.

Re 3.
Again, as far as I know, Sabotaka and Warclaw are not valid Polish place
names.  My guess is that Warclaw is actually the city of Wroclaw (formerly
Breslau), and that Sabotaka should be Sobótka.  You will find a village
called Sobótka at the coordinates 50.54'N 16.45'E, 29.8 kilometers SW of
Wroclaw.  This village was formerly called Zobten or Zobten am Berge.

Hope this helps.
