I am researching my great-grandparents who apparently came from Poland in the late 1870s. Census records state their birthplace as Lumsden or Lumsen Poland. Their oldest child has the same.
I can find no information re this place as an exsting one or maybe that has been renamed/destroyed. I wondered whether this was misleading and maybe it was referring to Lumsden in Scotland that did have immigrants around this time but I cannot reconcile this? Has anyone else come across this or have ideas?
