Post subject: Gonzin Gorczin Gouzin or something else
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out the last residence for the Bronislawa Zeszotarski listed, line 24. Her relative listed is Felix Jablonowski, her cousin, and also cousin to my G Grandfather Bronislaw Rzeszotarski. On several voyage records, I've noticed several people were meeting Felix in Northampton MA. His sister Emilia Jablonowski is what I first noticed on this record, and her residence of Bojanowo. Bojanowo is the location of my Bronislaw Rzeszotarski and his sister Weronika. Then I noticed another person from Bojanowo, line 23 Felix Lakrzeski/Sakrzeski also meeting his "brother" Felix in same place. On 1900 census 1 month later 2 Felix's lived as servants in Hampshire MA, and Sakrzeski was shortened to Felix Zaksi and Felix Jabnoski. That brings us to Bronislawa Zeszotarski on line 24, meeting her cousin Felix. Found out that I match Felix Jablonowski decendant with DNA match as cousin. Any idea's about what the last residence is, and would it be close to Gradzanowo/Bojanowo?
Thanks
John

John,
I think your guess is correct.
http://polishorigins.com/forum/files/bronislawa_zeszotarski_voyage_1900_24_143.jpg
I decipher line 24 in above as Gorczin, Gosczin [Gouzin would be with French background].
A kind of name making headake to non Polish speaker.
Within today gmina (community) Siemiątkowo you have villages Goszczk and Gradzanowo
https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goszczk
https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradzanowo_Ko%C5%9Bcielne
Goszczk in the old geography book:
http://dir.icm.edu.pl/Slownik_geograficzny/Tom_II/753
The wiki of gmina Siemiątkowo clarifies that previously its name was gmina Gradzanowo (the village Gradzanowo was more important that Siemiątkowo and gave name to gmina=community of villages)
https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siemi%C4%85tkowo_%28gmina%29
ADDENDUM once I could browse maps of Mazowsze from the second part of 16 century (thanks to a hint in Nancy's post today - nercell, that lead me to PAN book).
On that old map I can see B.-Goździe, Bojanowo-Goździe, north of Bojanowo, and Suwaki.
In the old geography book it is Bojanowo also known as Bojanowo-Gwoździe [gwóźdź i młotek = nail and hammer], parish Gradzanowo
http://dir.icm.edu.pl/Slownik_geograficzny/Tom_I/293
That name "Goździe", not existing any longer, could also be candidate. See part of that map, with Goździe and with Goszczk.
Best,
Elzbieta

NB. Re: Bronislawa Zeszotarski - I am sure you already know that "z with dot above" Ż ż spells exactly like "Rz" "rz", it is a matter of orthography, and you have to find etymology to decide. In your case it is almost certainly Rzeszotary (village).

Elzbieta,
Thank you very much. That one map, clearly shows the area I've been digging at. Is there a link to access the PAN book, and maybe see a larger map? Thanks again, gives a much better idea and helps so much.

Two volumes, first PDF almost 250 pages with index of villages in 16 century, second maps in djvu format (my little spot is zoomed 1000%, and execellent).
Best,
