Wow. Awesome. Thanks!! Is there a map with the German name, Warklau on it?
Henryk - Great!
MChait,
I looked up Wikis in various languages, see below, but do not see Warklau. After some search I do not believe "Warklau" is the correct German orthography, as we should see it in some historical records.
It is not in the alphabetiocal list of German places from 1900: Gemeindeverzeichnis Deutschland 1900

Gilberto reported several records with the name Warklau, so my hypothesis of typo-transformation is weak: Warkland -> Warklan -> Warklau
Maybe the second variant given in German Wiki: Warkelen -> Warklau
I am much more comfortable with Polish mutation: Warkljane -> Warklany.
Le château de Varakļāni a été construit dans le style classique de 1783 à 1789, par le conte Germano-Balte Michael Johann von der Borch-Lubeschitz und Borchhoff sur le domaine Warkland que les von der Borch avaient acquis après la guerre de Livonie en 1558. --> error in French, comte not conte
