[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Lawo = Mlawa?

[Karl Krueger]

Rose-Marie,
With EWZ you have to know the context of how this location is being cited. If it is the person who is filing through EWZ then that birth location is likely to be accurate. If this is in reference to a parent (probably deceased) of someone filing through EWZ then it might not be from offical records but instead could likely the applicant stating what they remember of their parents' births. Often this can be fragmentary or overly general information which can be somewhat misleading.

Would you expect this person to be alive in 1940-1945?

I've been looking at some EWZ indices online, and think I may have come
across an ancestor. My present information says that he was born in Mlawa.
The info on the EWZ Index has someone of the same name born in "Lawo". Might
they be one and the same place, with 2 different names? I didn't find a Lawo
in Shtetl-Seeker.

Thank-you in advance for any help/advice.

Regards,
Rose-Marie
