[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Location of Belgatow and Janowka

[Richard Stein]

Randy,

Belgatow is probably Belchatow, Poland located at 51-22 N, 19-23 E, 43 km 
south of Lodz which, in turn, is 119 km WSW of Warsaw.  Belchatow is an 
administrative town and the location of the Lutheran parish church.  Gustav 
Marks may have been born in a smaller village in the vicinity of Belchatow. 
The Parish Records Index database has the marriage of Gustav's parents in 
1881 at Belchatow.   The parents' names are August Marks and Maryanna 
Mathilde Kirsch.  Their ages, names of their parents, and village of 
residence should be on the microfilm number 1733566.
