History / Lobau, West Prussia. Is this now Lubawa in Poland, or Lobau in Germany? [9]

Hello,
I have a marriage in Berlin Germany 1884 and the birthplace of the bridge says Lobau West Prussia. The genealogist that found this certificate told me that is now Lubawa Poland. However, someone else told me it was Lobau Saxony. How can I be sure?

Any help would be appreciated. Or any history online that could help me learn more or photos of that time in mid 1880s.
Thanks so much
Leslie

Genealogy / TOWN OF CIEMNOSZYJE [2]

HELLO,
I have just found an ancestor that was married in a village called Ciemnoszyje in Augustow Gubernia which was later called Suwalski. I have done some reading about that.

I cannot find though if this village was is in poland or russia? I need a good map. The time of marriage was 1847.
Can you confirm any of this for me.

Thanks so much.
Dale

History / MAP OF POLAND IN 1880'S [95]

Thank you very much for the interesting map. I am really trying to find a family in med 1800s that were from a long long of counts and countesses. The trouble is where exactly did they live? Since the countess lived in the mid 1850s giving birth to the one I seek in 1886. I want to go to Warsaw in June and see if I can find the name. But the place is going to be a big challenge since the country kept changing.

Thanks so much again. Do you know if I will be able to search in english? When I go there?
