Accordingly to www.herby.com.pl there is no Koczerza. The correct spelling is Koczerga.
Koczerga 30
El:1, Lg:5, Sł:9, Su:2, Wb:3, Wr:10

Also, those numbers on Michal's line indicates he naturalized. Take a look at http://www.jewishgen.org/InfoFiles/Manifests/occ/
His naturalization papers must have clearly stated the place he was born.

"Place of Residence" can be also changed from Koczergi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koczergi
