Place of Birth on Canadian Passenger List
« on: Thursday 06 June 13 19:12 BST (UK) »
I cannot read where my grand uncle was born.  I see "Pau_sonka" Galacia, but that just does not look or 'read' correct.  I have also attached the place name where he said was his last residence in Galacia.  I decipher that name as Panasowka, Galacia.  Could it be that these two names are the same, just bad cursive handwriting?

Thank you,

Hi

Definitely think they are one and the same, just bad handwriting.

I agree that it's the same place; I don't think the handwriting is that bad either.  Probably better than mine nowadays, particularly if in a hurry  ;D

I think it is Panasowka and a quick Google search says it is in the Province of Lublin. I didn't check any further for Country in case I was way off mark  ;D
