                                      Thank you Elzbieta...very much!  This document is so full of information and now I understand it.  I do the best I can with translation aids but I miss so much that way, so this is really appreciated.  And the map looks like you found the place for me.  My job is to find where the records are and I can't wait to find them!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to all who offered information.&lt;br /&gt;

                                      Posted: Tue Jul 18, 2017 5:51 pm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      Gostynin is circa 180 km from the cluster of villages: &lt;br /&gt;
Krzynowłoga+Wielka,+Poland/Dzierzgowo,+Poland/Wieczfnia,+Poland/Zakrzewo+Wielkie,+Poland/Grzebsk,+Poland/Pobodze,+Poland/Duczymin,+Poland/Grabowo-Zawady,+Poland/Ślubowo,+Kawieczyno-Saksary,+Poland/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have one possible option for &amp;quot;village of Ostrowie? parish Brzozowo? circuit Gostynin&amp;quot;:&lt;br /&gt;
Gostynin,+Poland/Brzozów+Stary,+Poland/Olszowiec,+Poland&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Polish wiki about Brzozów Stary, there is a sentence with Gostynin, Brzozów Stary was part of land of Gostynin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Marcin Brzozowski z Ziemi Gostyńskiej z beczką piwa pełną tańcowa&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&lt;br /&gt;
Miejscowość Brzozów pochodzi od nazwiska starego rodu szlacheckiego Brzozowski (hrabia papieski) herbu Bylina. O zacnośości rodu świadczy fakt, iż herb Bylina pochodzi z okresu panowania króla z Dynastii Piastów i powstał na przełomie XI/XII wieku. Herbem pieczętowało się 15 rodów Jak głoszą stare księgi jeden z rodu z niesłychanej siły słynął &amp;quot;Marcin Brzozowski z Ziemi Gostyńskiej z beczką piwa pełną tańcował&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
==&lt;br /&gt;
The name of the village Brzozów comes from the name of the old noble family Brzozowski (Papal Count) of the coat of arms Bylina. The sheen of the family is evidenced by the fact that the coat of arms of Bylina dates back to the reign of the king of the Piast Dynasty and was founded at the turn of the 11th / 12th centuries. The coat was sealed by 15 families. As the old books state, one of the rulers of an unpredictable force was famous &amp;quot;Marcin Brzozowski from Gostyń land dancing with a full barrel of beer&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

Oh my God. I could decipher and type Polish. Two more hours needed to make it easy to read.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have been adding villages to Google maps, after verification, here are my names. Brzozowo to be checked. There is something like village Ostrow* parish Brzoz*, district Gostynin - ?&lt;br /&gt;

                                      Elzbieta, thank you, that is one of the areas I was looking at - &amp;quot;Ostrow* Parish Brzoz* district Gostynin&amp;quot;.  There are so many versions of Gostyn*, Ostrow* and Brzoz* and when I mapped them out, they all seemed to be pretty far from the nest of ancestors I found.  But I was told that that wasn't so unusual with people marrying and moving to where the wife or other relatives lived.  And the search goes on ......&lt;br /&gt;

                                      Thank you all so much!!  You are all really great people to be so helpful.  Would it be too much for me to ask if anyone can translate that document?  The links are above - thank you Pabian and Elzbieta, for providing this typed version.  I tried using Polish Translator but would like to have a more precise translation.  I just might find Jan's birth after all with all this help.&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you.&lt;br /&gt;

I could not find records for Brzozowo parish. Maybe someone else in this forum could point a direction.&lt;br /&gt;

I want to check LDS film and just cannot figure out where this place is.  To the best of my ability, the document reads:  Gostyn, Brzo??? Parafia, Ostrowiec or Ostrowo?????  If anyone can find this place for me, I would really appreciate it.  The document is attached.  My Załęski ancestors were in the Wieczfnia Parafia in Mlawa at this time, but I don't think Jan was born there - or at least I cannot find a place with those three locations reasonably close to each other.&lt;br /&gt;

I think it is Pobodzie (declensioned Pobodzach). It is written at the top of the document, too. He had been married to Rozalia (nee Nowicka). She died in 1829, in Dzierzgowo. &lt;a href=&quot;http://geneteka.genealodzy.pl/index.php?op=gt&amp;amp;lang=pol&amp;amp;bdm=D&amp;amp;w=07mz&amp;amp;rid=D&amp;amp;search_lastname=zaleski&amp;amp;search_name=jan&amp;amp;search_lastname2=nowicka&amp;amp;search_name2=rozalia&amp;amp;from_date=1829&amp;amp;to_date=1829&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://geneteka.genealodzy.pl/index.php?op=gt&amp;amp;lang=pol&amp;amp;bdm=D&amp;amp;w=07mz&amp;amp;rid=D&amp;amp;search_lastname=zaleski&amp;amp;search_name=jan&amp;amp;search_lastname2=nowicka&amp;amp;search_name2=rozalia&amp;amp;from_date=1829&amp;amp;to_date=1829&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, map attached, Pobodze surrounded by some Brzozowo villages.</description>
