The memoirs concerning the place dates back 70+ years ago, can it be another village that today changed his name or is no longer exists?

Hi,

Could it be Podgorze ? It's very close to Wisla, between Wloclawek and Wyszogrod, and it spells with a sound "Je" like in Jersey.

Best,
Elzbieta

no, it contains the letter M also for sure
we know it is suppose to be a small place with apple plantations around and the river was situated close by

Pomoze is not in the 1880s Georaphical Dictionary of the Polish Kingdom.

Probably Pomorze, of which there are two near the Wisła.
===Pomorze 255 osób woj. mazowieckie pow. ciechanowski gmina Opinogóra Górna.
5km east of Ciechanów on the Wisła. Parish is Ciechanów.
===Pomorze woj. lubelskie pow. opolski gmina Opole Lubelskie.
2 km north of Opole, 10 km east of Wisła. Parish is Opole.

We are trying to track down a village called Pomoze (the z sounds like "Je" in New Jersay)

The only facts we know is that it was a small village that was next to the Wisla river

Thanks
