Post subject: Sereth, Bukowina? Where is that?
On a marriage certificate in Polish (1918) the groom is given as born and living in Sereth Bukowina.
I found a Bukowina near Gdansk, which seems very unlikely as the marriage was in Lublin.
Sereth does not look like a Polish place name, yet it's very clear on the marriage record.
Can anyone help?
