The | The FamilySearch Catalog lists place-names under county (województwo) jurisdictions used in the 1960s and 70s. Names are also listed under the German-Prussian province (Provinz) as of 1871–1914 or the Austrian province (Provinz) as of 1850–1915.<br>Each town is listed in the catalog with its district (powiat or Kreis) jurisdiction to distinquish it from other places of the same name.<br>Because of the many changes in place-names, the Family History Library uses one gazetteer as the standard guide for listing places in the FamilySearch Catalog. | ||
