Thanks. If I had thought for 5 seconds I would have known that 1943 could not have been the right date.

Lyndseymoo:

Listed as Jewish surname in towns of Nadarzyn and Stawiszyn.

Nadarzyn is interesting as a place where Polish resistance fighters hid after the Warsaw uprising in 1943. The Battalion Zoska (Polish) and the AL Brigade (Jewish inmates rescued from the Gesiowka concentration camp by Zozka) continued to fight together against SS units. Few survived.

It is unlikely that any Jewish people are living in Stawiszyn.

The archives have extensive marriage and other information for the area arround Wilkowiecko up to 1853, perhaps later.

The areas surrounding the towns you have named are all agricultural fields. I have looked at old nineteenth century maps and only the towns we have already discussed appear. In this area the towns that appear on current maps have been there at least one hundred and fifty years. Even the roads have not changed much. I think what you see is what you get.

Jola:

The positions of the German and Polish units during the Battle of Mokra is reported differently by each side and movements during the battle are fairly complex. Given that, the following units of the Wolynska Brigade and their initial positions should be fairly close. Starting in the north:

1st Battalion of the 19th Lancers were initially positioned near Kamienszcyzna.

4th Battalion of the 19th Lancers were initiially near Rebielice.

1st Battalion of the 21st Lancers on the edge of the forest just east of Rebielice Krolewskie.

3rd Battalion of the 21st Lancers on the edge of the forest just south of Rebielice Krolewskie defending against a German advance from Opatow and Wilkowiecko toward Mokra III.

12th Lancers Regiment on the edge of the forest just east of Mokra II.

2nd Horse Artillery on the edge of the forest just north of Mokra III.

4th Battalion of the 21st Lancers in the forest area just west of Mokra III defending against a German advance from Opatow and Wilkowiecko.

4th battalion of the 84th Infantry Regiment south of Mokra III defending against a German attack from Walenczow.

2nd Battalion of the 21st Lancers south east of Wilkowiecko on open ground.

The 53rd 'Smialy' Armoured Train just east of Mokra III.

The largest city in the area is Czestochowa. Follow highway 43 to Klobuck. Continue to Krzepice. In the middle of Krzepice turn right and follow a small road north east toward Dankow. From Dankow follow the Liwarta River and you run into Rebielice.

Marco Polo Polska Atlas Drogowy 1:200 000. Scan and then crop the area you are interested in. Blow up the cropped area and you have great detail. There are also 1:100 000 maps and military topo maps.

Satellite maps have great detail, but I can't post the web site for you?

Detailed population and history of small villages is available on numerous sites sponsored by Jewish individuals or organizations. Some of this information is simply not available anywhere else. Even if the specific information is not relevant to your search, you may find gneral information and photos useful. It takes a lot of surfing. :)
