Wow - thank you so much for figuring this out! I don't think I would have ever made that connection. I had noticed that priests to abbreviate the other words, but I hadn't really seen that for a town or village's name before, at least to this extent.

Also thanks for sending the birth record related to Wojciech's parents; it would seem that Jozef may be his brother!

The priest shortened many words. I think he shortened (or did not remember well) the name of the village.

"Wojciech Janicki mł[odzieniec] l[at] 28 w Ch[icago] 2 [lata]
miesz[ka] na Wade str syn Sebastyana i Katarzyny Stec urodz[ony] we wsi [P]s[tr]ong[o]wa Galicya

Here are the birth records from Pstrągowa. Look at the record 98. Andreas was born to Josephus Janicki, who is son of Sebastiani and Catharinae nee Stec

I am trying to decipher the name of the town/village this Wojciech Janicki is from. The record is for a marriage in 1888 and was written by the parish priest of St. Stanislaus Kostka, a Polish parish, in Chicago. I have attached a scan. It appears the village is in Galicya (Galicia, the Austrian partition of Poland). Any ideas?
