Reply with quote

I am trying to find this town and I am unable to locate it. The town name is on the left and also under Josefa's name. The image is from a ship manifest. Other relatives that came over also list the same town name. To me it looks like Slubice. But I am quessing that the person filling out the ship registry wrote the town name like it sounds and not like it is actually spelled in polish. The ship manifest is from 1912. Also it says that the race of the person is Polish, last pernament residence country is Warsaw, then town Slubice. Other relative record says race of person is Polish, last pernament residence is Russia, then town of Slubice. I found a town called slubice on the far western border of poland by Frankfurt but that is no where near Warsaw, and that would not have been under russian borders that far west? Or would it? Passed down stories and obituaries in the family have said that the relatives were from the Warsaw area. Which would lead me to believe that the Slubice by Frankfurt is not the right town. Any help or other places I should look for information would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you,
Michael

And both villages Słubice listed by Henryk were within Russian borders in 1800s what you can check on the map here: http://forum.polishorigins.com/files/map_polish_territory_in_19_century_437.jpg .
