Post subject: Unidentified town
Hi, after almost giving up on ever finding the town my grandfather came from (he would only list Russia or Poland) I was overjoyed to come across a town listed on his declaration of intention filed with the county clerk. The document says it is Dziegetewo. This must be mispelled or something. Can anyone help? I'm once again getting nowhere.

Hi,
Have you tried Polish Gen Web. There is a town locator section which may help you. Search this section by the first few letters of the town name[ Dz...Dzi...Dzie]
Good luck

Hi Felicja,
You received many hints about your grandfather town name. Are you able to upload scan/picture of your grandfather declaration of intention  That might help us to verify our guesses.
It would be also great to know about any bigger town in the neighborhood of your Dziegetewo or at least region (part of Poland back then).
