Genealogy / Was there a town in Galicia named Bič? [5]
I have a 1909 USA church marriage record that states the groom was from Bič, Gal. The bride is Sanok, Gal. I am assuming Gal. is Galicia. I am aware of Sanok in Galica but can't seem to find Bič, Gal. I Googled Bič Galicia Poland and found this forum. I read and write in Polish better than I can speak it. The č does not look like a letter in the Polish alphabet. The diacritical mark is definitely cupped shaped. This was sent to me in a typed letter from the Catholic Archives in my city. I asked for a copy of the original but am unable to attach it b/c a message states the file is too large. It also has the cupped shape over the c. I believe the priest that completed the form was also Polish. Any help would be appreciated.
