A passport application states he was going to visit relatives there in 1922.  It lists his place of birth as Konty in Gubernia, Lomzia, Powiat, Kaloni,Gmina Maly Plock, Wieskonty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where would I look for family records for the town and my family?  From the passport I read that the family owned land there and he had two sisters who still lived in the village. I would like to know as much as possible including if there are relatives of mine there, is land still in our family and how far back in history does that go.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

village Kąty belonged to Mały Płock parish. How old was Your grandfather in 1922? Do You know his parents names? Do You know his sisters names?</description>
