You are welcome. Anna mentions her place as Proboszczewice, gmina plockie. This is very close to Radzanowo. And there is a Wladyslaw Spiegowski indicating his place as Ossag-Wielki (I believe it is Osieki Wielki). The name is pretty common in Poland places, and there are two or three near Plocok. As you, I check places in present-day Poland using mapa.szukacz.pl

Bill,
I have checked the birth indexes from 1874 to 1890 and did not find any Spiegowski/Spiegowska. The closest match is an Anton Spiek, born in 1886 (record number is 127). These indexes are pretty legible and were taken from the LDS microfilm 1808243 (items 5-7). The item 5 covers the records mentioned above, in polish; the item 6 covers births from 1875-1890 in russian, but I don't have the indexes anymore. I will try to get them with another friend.

Today I received the birth indexes in russian. Unfortunately, they have the same content of those birth records in polish (I had not figure out that before). Since I am also researching this area, I found out that some people were registered in Drobin parish, rather than Koziebrody. There are LDS films for that parish. Sorry I could not be of more help.

1934 Skorowidz Miejscowosci reads that parish for Gron was in Bialka (it does not mention Tatrazanska).

LDS has a film for a Bialka but I don't know if it refers to the same place: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=139348&disp=Kopie+ksi%26%23x119%3Bg+metrykalnych%20%20&columns=*,0,0

Whenever I don't find a place in LDS website I use Keyword Search, rather than Place Name search.

Have you already checked the Pradziad database in http://baza.archiwa.gov.pl/sezam/pradziad.php?l=en?
