His marriage and death records refer to his birthplace as SNUSHCHIK in Russia - I think this is in the Polish provinces of the Russian Empire at that time (though I'm not certain).<br /> <br /> Does anyone know where Snushchik could really be? - I'm aware that the official will probably have written down what he heard but I'm not familiar with how Polish place names would sound like.<br /> <br /> Hope someone out there can help.<br /> <br /> Many thanks and greetings from Bornholm in the Baltic sea. https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=35477#35477 Pburston Thu Nov 16, 2017 4:57 am https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=35477#35477
