Thanks Sigrid,
I just finished putting together a list of towns where people lived
who connect to this family and so I will now go to the maps again and
see if I can narrow it down.
These particular EWZ transcriptions have a lot of information with
marriage dates and locations for a family that married into the family
of my great grandmother.
This person who was born in Separanow married my great grandmother's sister.
Other towns mentioned are Sapierzanka, Lipowitz, Popork.
And these records say that the brother of my great grandmother was born
in Juliapol, Warsaw . However, I have a confirmation record for the
brother's
first born child that says this child was born in Juilianow or
Julianowo Gvt Warsaw.
So assuming that these people all lived close together,I may get somewhere:)
I now have a slew of new names that connect loosely to my family, so
yes, they may be in the MPD
and some of the births may be in the VKP records.
Linda.
