Post subject: Borowo very odd
Just searching while awaiting microfilms arrival. If I go to:
https://www.familysearch.org/
http://search.ancestry.com
and just put the location as Borowo (No names or dates) I couldn't believe the numbers of people that have come from Borowo
I believe the location is somewhere near the triangle of Lida, Vilnius and Minsk
Now for the $64,000 question. Where is it?
I think it was in various times in the Russian territories,Polish and Lithuanian and maybe now in Belarus.

cszwed,
I just googled "Borowo, Poland" and found that it is a Village in Chodziez county in Gmina, Szamocin in Western Central Poland.
When you google it, you will also find maps available!
Good Luck,
MaryAnne

cszwed,
When I googled "Borowo", I didn't go further down, I just saw that there was some info to be viewed.
Looks like you have all the possibilities, and I don't envy your task of sorting out the correct choice.
Good Luck again,
MaryAnne
