Zdzislaw Nowicki #54999 开云体育 Martin, I Agree.? In Polish, jezioro simply means lake, jeziorany means (a place) that has lakes.? From what I can gather, our paternal ancestral lands were a melting pot of settlers from Czechoslovakia (sorry for the outdated use of the name), Germany, Hungary, Russia, Ukraine etc..? I'm not sure when my family arrived there, my surname, Nowicki, simply means newcomer or even new man. There is a tale that I haven't followed up yet that many Jews that converted to christianity took Nowicki as a surname.? Also the permutations are considerable... Zdzis To: Kresy-Siberia@...

Below is a wonderful site I have known of for some time. It has the list of all people in Maczkowce (and the home site takes you to a plethora of other osada) and a map. The map shows where Maczkowce is. I can’t seem to copy the map onto my laptop but if you use the scroll bars so you are looking at roughly 3/4 of the way down the map and 3/4 way to the left you’ll find Maczkowce just east of a railway line and south-east of Czarukow. Hope this helps. ? Zdzis, I think you are right about Maczkowce being Maczka Wolyn or similar names as the settlers just started to name the villages themselves and may well have had different names till they settled on one. And it certainly started with Jeziorany though there are dozens with that name in the area as it is a lake district and I think the name means beautiful lake of similar. But it may be that these - the two named after Maczek - were neighbouring settlements or one was a spin-off of the original. ?
