Felix Bober-2, Poland locations



From his WWI draft registration card (5 June 1917), we have the birthplace of Felix Bober-2 in Poland, Russia as "Mlava":


This looks like: Mlawa which is the county seat of Mlawa. Here is the city's official website.

Here a link to Mlawa County's official website's page about its history.

We have Felix's town of last residence in Russia (Race or People: "Polish") from the S.S. Zeeland's ship manifest (11 April 1908) as "Smjewo":




In one of the Mlawa county's ten administrative districts ("gmina"), Stupsk, we find seven villages or settlements with hyphenated names that include "Zmijewo":

Żmijewo Kościelne, Żmijewo-Gaje, Żmijewo-Kuce, Żmijewo-Podusie, Żmijewo-Ponki, Żmijewo-Szawły and Żmijewo-Trojany


Here is a Google map with directions from Mlawa to Zmijewo-Kuce.
