To show the identity of Adelhof and Babia, I used the Breyer map, which
shows said unit to be directly south of Friedrichsfeld.  It appears that 
Breyer
may have been wrong.  Keep reading!

The Zagorow records in the time period that I have looked at only uses 
Adelhof.  I must say, I don't recall seeing either Babia or Chrusciki mentioned in 
the marriage records.

A simple google search found the following entry in the 19th century Polish 
gazetteer, which explains why there are so many German names for villages in 
the Zagorow region (used all through the 19th century--until 1891, apparently)

I will change Adelhof [=Babia] to Adelhof [=Chrusciki], and this will appear 
in the next revision.
