Can't find a Krakow thread and don't want to create a new one. My grandfather told my mother that he was born in Krakow. On the ship manifest, his home was listed as Rzegozina Galicia. What is Rzegozina? I can't find it in a search. I know his wife came from Rodziele and am wondering if grandfather merely told mom the name of the nearest large city when telling her his birthplace.

Rozdziele (rose-jur-a) is located 67 miles SE of Krakow. It's RzegoCina (zug-go-cheena), a small village 1km from Rozdziele. See my maps. (click on map to enlarge)

Thank you so much, Bill! I wondered about that for a few years now.
