Hello,
I have a history question regarding the village of Goslawice in Gmina Nieborow, Powait Lowicz. During the Russian occupation in the late 1800's to early 1900's was this area part of the Warsaw District? According to my g-grandfathers immigration papers it listed Goslawice, Warsaw as his last place of residence. I am trying to determine if this Goslawice is the same that is located in Gmina Neiborow.
Thanks,
Brian

Thanks, Brian There are 10 sites in Poland with this name. The one of interest to you could belong to Warsaw district for some time because it is almost the same way to Warsaw as to Łódź. Loco, Łódź wasn`t under Prussian partition. It belonged to Russia. The textile industry thrived in Łódź because they sold their products at the giant, always insatiable Russian market. |

I made a mistake, I think it should be the Goslawice that is located in Gmina Bielawy. Was this ever part of the Warsaw district that was under Russian control?

russians only got a hold of the town later because it was part of the Duchy of Warsaw which russia annexed at a later time. And that`s exactly what I was talking about. Prussians held it for a dozen years or so while Russians for over a century. I ignored Prussian occupation as too short. After all various parts of Poland were occupied by many powers, there is no use mentioning them all... Hmmm, Loco, can you make this map a bit smaller? It is seriously spreading my new monitor ;D ;D ;D ;D |

done.
well, it seems that the prussians and the russians actually were occupying Lodz area for about the same amounts of time. over the centuries Lodz has had way more german influence then russian, for sure.
regardless, i just wanted to make this person aware that there may be other variants at play in his search.

Hahahahahah, OK, let it be so. The time was more or less the same. hahaha As for influence, yes, correct thinking, Łódź was settled and developed by German and Jewish (German speaking) businessmen whose influence can`t be underrated. However, I take my knowledge about 19th century Łódź from a wonderful book, a masterpiece by W. Reymont: Ziemia Obiecana, The Promised Land. I love both the book and the film polandsite.proboards104.com/index.cgi?board=polishfilms&action=display&thread=35&page=1#175 |
