WHERE IS JNEJANOW in Poland?

Found this listed as the home town of someone in my family. It must be a misprint - but for what? Any ideas, please? Thanks, Helena

JNEJANOW

It must be a spelling error. I'm sure without checking that no such town with this name exist in Poland

Uniejów. Janów (Podlaski)?

Is there anything about the person which could give a clue?

Thanks for looking at this, folks.

The only clue "might" be that IF this is my great grandmother, she probably came from the Lubelskie region.

Janów (Podlaski) is in Lubelskie.

Janów (Podlaski) is in Lubelskie.

Then it could be Janów Podlaski or Janów Lubelski, which is at the other end of the province.

The place name may be DZIEKANOW,

Oh my goodness, Terri! I just looked up DZIEKANOW and it's just outside Hrubieszow, where the family comes from!

Thank you!

You might have mentioned that before!
Well done, Terri.

Ah, there is a good reason not to mention it. I didn't want to lead myself or anyone to that just because I wanted the lady to be my ancestress. I DID say from Lubelskie, but didn't want to get closer. So, it seems that it could be her.

Not to throw a wrench into your happiness, but you seem to be into researching this stuff, so...

The second "j" in the name is odd and may fit better with Dzierżanów. There are three in Lodzki, Mazowieckie and Wielkopolski.

Dzierzanow is a maybe. Worth mentioning that there are many places, mostly very small called Dziekanow.
