Reply with quote

Hi,
I am trying to trace the birth place of my grandfather and what the location is called today.

The only information we have is he was born in Gajowka, Wilno on 17.08.1922

I believe it could have been in Wilno-Trotsky district of Wilno Voivodeship of the Second Republic.

However, with Google searches and can not locate where it is today.

I know Wilno is now Vilnius but trying to find this particular location so I can track down either a Church he may have been baptised in or a hospital he was born.

Thanks
Andy

Thanks. That's great, I thought it was as I've been struggling on Google searches. I believe it will be Gierwiaty as we have a document with his brothers address in Gierwiaty.
You wouldn't happen to know any more info on this location where it would be today?
is it in Lithuania (Vilnius) as when searching it was coming up as Belarus?
Thanks for you help Andy

Hi,
https://www.radzima.net/eng/search_place/
Gierwiaty - is avillage in Wilno - Troki powiat Wilno Voivodeship of Poland (the Second Polish Republic). There are the following data for this settlement on the Radzima.net website:
- administrative-territorial belonging in Poland (1920-1939)

Gajowka, right above Gierwiaty here: http://maps.mapywig.org/m/WIG_maps/series/100K_300dpi/P30_S42_WORNIANY_1929_300dpi_bcuj297850-285054.jpg
Belarus today. It seems Gajowka doesn't exist anymore:
