This Polish language gazetteer serves as the best resource for locating places and their corresponding county, province, parish, post office and telegram station, and more, at the time during the two world wars.
The gazetteer lists each locality by the Polish alphabetical order. When using the gazetteer, remember the
Polish alphabetical sorting rules. Letters with diacritic marks (ą, ę, ć, ł, ń, у, ś, ż, ź) are considered separate letters and therefore come after the letter it closest resembles. Therefore, Pajewo comes before Pajęczno. This can be tricky if you are not familiar with the Polish alphabet, so give yourself time when using the reference.Here is a list of abbreviations that are commonly found throughout the gazetteer
