cannot find birth city or "last" place in poland

Question

My grandfathers naturalization says that he was in Niezbudka, Poland. I cannot seem to find the city. I know his birth certificate (I have a copy of it on my other computer) says he was born in Michalowo, Poland. The Michigan death index also says Michalowo.

Answer 1

Hi

Looking at this wikipedia page and using google translate, it seems to be part of the same place

"Originally, the property and estate of Niezbudka were located in this area, sometimes referred to as Niezbudek"

Thanks Gill. I concur. Michalowo, Poland is part of the same place as Niezbudka. It is 90 km East of the birth place of my-father-in law.

Jenn,

According to this page Niezbudka is the Russian name for Michalowo.  Scroll down and you will see Alternate name:  Niezbudka (Russian).
