Post subject: Location and current name of Staraghan
My Grandmother, Mary Milewska, was born on April 13,1880. On her husband, Piotr Gasiewski's, naturalization application it lists her birthplace as Staraghan Germany. In United States census it says she came from Poland, Germany. I know that at the time of her birth Poland was not recognized as a country and it seems that her birthplace was part of Germany.
Can someone tell me the present day name of Staraghan? And is it now part of Poland?
Thank you very much.
Tom Gonsiewski (Gasiewski)

It could be all sorts, I would say try using the website that will equate todays names of towns, from old german or polish names, I typed in just star on the german town, and got multiple towns that you could see might be your match.

Did they get married in Poland? Where did Piotr come from in Poland?
Do You have any letters, documents?
Can You show Us the naturalization application?

Based on others family trees on ancestry, and Valentine from the 1900 census looks to your Mary's father. When brother William was killed in 1912, the article lists siblings, 1 being Mrs. Mary Gonsiewski, and father Valentine had returned to Poland 2 years prior in. Should give you a start and hopefully match up in genteka.

Using Pomorskie database, I see a pretty definitive match, as long as Valentine Milewski and Franciszka Kleinschmidt are correct, seems to macth the 1900 cesnus, besides your Mary who was already married? Hope this helps
