[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Karolinenhof

[Jan Textor]

Jim,

Ploehnen is the German name of the Polish town of Plonsk (Płońsk) which is located at the coordinates 52.38'N 20.23'E, about 60 km northwest of Warsaw.  *Kreis Ploehnen (Plöhnen) or Plonsk* only existed officially from Oct. 1939 until Jan. 1945 when the area was annexed by the Germans during WWII.

I don't know if there was a village called *Karolinenhof* nearby.  Perhaps it was just a manor or a farm, and not a village?  However, there are two villages named Karolinowo not far from Plonsk.  Could be one of them was called *Karolinenhof* at that time.

Hope this helps.
