Hi Ceci,

I have downloaded the images and enlarged them.

the 1st. one looks like ANNOWaL.U:  i.e Ukraine

the 2nd. one looks like Male-Siedlierer or Siedlinere . I'm wondering if it's a form of Siedlung (german for settlement, colony, estate).
I am not sure of the squiggle over the L, it could be a polish letter, and my colleague isn't at his desk at the moment.

I'll let you know if I can find out more.

Does the lady have a name ?  On the Galicia site, there are a lot of names, maybe you/we can find her there !

I have just spoken to my friend and Kostopol ties in nicely, so your help with Annowal is very much appreciated. The lady's name was variously spelt Dina (Dyne on passport) Kaplun (Kauplun) nee Mel. Her husband's name was Joseph (Jusef). She emigrated to Canada accompanied by her 2 children (see image) in July 1939.

Now I am going to look again at the websites you have recommended. Once again, many many thanks for your help.

Glad I could help.

I've found this place in the Ukraine:  Sieliszcze MaŻe  (the 'Ż' is a polish letter, looks like an L with a small line through it, pronounced 'w' !)

Variations of Siedliska are given as Sieliska so your name, Male-Siedliescie could maybe be a polish variation of the ukrainian place name.

I found this website and it came up with Siedliszcze Male, Wielke in Kostopol.

It looks like we have found the place between us!

FYI Polish "male" just means "little", "wielka" means "great" (as in Great Britain).

As I'm sure you know, the names look Jewish.

hi,

I think the place you want is halfway between Lubin, Poland and Kiev, Ukraine.  It's somewhere in the region of  Kostopol or Kostopil and  Rivno or Rivne. It is in Ukraine in the north west from what I can make out. I didn't actually find Annowal on the map.

Hi

Thank you for narrowing down the search. I have looked at maps on several websites, but still haven't been able to find the exact location of Annowal or Male Siedliszcze. The most detailed map I found was at http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EART/x-ussr/M35W.html but it was in cyrillic! There seem to be lots of places called Siedliszcze. Is this a generic term or are these actual place names?

Hi Ceci.

Try this. Type this in your search box.

                     siedliszcze gimna page

You should come up with a Polish web-site in English. Scroll down the page and you will find a genealogy link for the area.

There are three places called Siedliszcze and they are all east of Lublin.

I will carry on looking to answer the rest of this problem.
