Pokrzydowo is the parish for my paternal grandmother's family. I really appreciate your help!

Gilberto, I am having some problems here. I don't speak or read Polish and trying to translate the pages is not very successful, even using Google Chrome rather than Firefox. Some of the pages are set for Pokrzydowo and I don't know how to change the information. I don't recognize places in lists, etc. so I don't know how to find the parish that covers the town of Stropkowo. Can you help me further?

Felicia

The parish is in Jezewo, online from 1808-1825.
From 1826 available on AP and AD Plock or LDS microfilms.
What is the connection with Pokrzydowo?

Gilberto,

Thanks so much for all the information!

Now I am trying to find the parish my paternal grandfather's records would be in. Stropkowo, according to Wikipedia, is in administrative district Gamina Zavidz, which is in Sierpic County in the Masovian (sounds paleontological) Voivodeship. Would Zavidz or Zawidz be the parish?

Felicia

Felicia,

No, it is not in Zawidz.

Is there a map showing such provinces with the cities/towns shown as well?
