Can anyone tell me the nearest parish churches for these two towns? They're both in Plock or Plonsk.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I guess you are interested in parishes from XIX centuary or so, an old geography book may help you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Stróżęcin (discritics are important here)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://dir.icm.edu.pl/pl/Slownik_geograficzny/Tom_XI/413&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://dir.icm.edu.pl/pl/Slownik_geograficzny/Tom_XI/413&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
righ side: gmina Stróżęcin, parafia Gralewo ==&amp;gt; parish Gralewo&lt;br /&gt;
on Google maps:&lt;br /&gt;
Gralewo, płoński, Poland&lt;br /&gt;
Stróżęcin, Poland&lt;br /&gt;
less than 3 km distance&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.diecezjaplocka.pl/parafie/gralewo-sw-malgorzaty&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.diecezjaplocka.pl/parafie/gralewo-sw-malgorzaty&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Starczewo Wielkie&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://dir.icm.edu.pl/pl/Slownik_geograficzny/Tom_XI/232&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://dir.icm.edu.pl/pl/Slownik_geograficzny/Tom_XI/232&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
left side, item 3): gmina Sarnowo, parafia Skołatowo ==&amp;gt; parish Skołatowo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://skolatowo.ugu.pl/?page_id=6&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://skolatowo.ugu.pl/?page_id=6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&lt;br /&gt;
Actually the above page of Skołatowo explains how French soldiers (Napoleon) destroyed the city&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jej upadek spowodowali dopiero francuscy żołnierze w roku 1806. Stacjonowało ich tutaj 1200. Z powodu ostrej zimy ogrzewali się paląc budynki, ograbili mieszkańców wsi do ostatniej koszuli, nie oszczędzili także kościoła. Tak podupadło Skołatowo, a sam kościół został zamknięty jako upadający. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The parish fall was caused by French soldiers in 1806. 1200 of them were stationed in Skołatowo. Due to the severe winter, they warmed up burning buildings, looted the villagers to the last shirt, did not spare the church. Yes Skołatowo deteriorated, and the church was closed as collapsing.&lt;br /&gt;
==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Best,&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Star, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Plock diocese website has changed and can't find any church now.&lt;br /&gt;
However, if your intention is viewing records online go to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://poczekalnia.genealodzy.pl/pliki/AP-Mlawa/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://poczekalnia.genealodzy.pl/pliki/AP-Mlawa/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
and scroll down the list to Raciaz and Plonsk.&lt;br /&gt;
