Probably Kurozweki near Staszow, which is west of Tarnobrzeg in southern
Poland, but it's hardly a city -- more likely just a village.

On http://www.kurozweki.com/ if you click on English and then on Map,
it'll show you the approximate location.

Actually it's on JewishGen:
http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/town/kurozweki.htm
but the name lacks the diacritic mark below "e".

Michael,

Town correct name is Kurozweki, pron. [kooh roh zve nkee], prior to WWII in
Stopnica district, Kielce Province.

Town location: 5035 2106, about 3 miles NW >from town Staszow.

Jewish population prior to WWII: 224 souls (22% of the total residents).
H. Wajswol is listed as butcher in this town (Re: 1929 Poland Business
Directory)

There are 6 entries for town Kurozweki in JGFF database.

As you searching for Wajswol ancestors throug JRI-P database, please review
Kielce and Radom Guberniyas, since the border between those administration
regions was close to Kurozweki, and shtetl's records are located in Stopnica
(Kielce) and in Staszow (Radom). Other Wajswols have been concentarting in
Lodz region (Piotrkow Guberniya).

You should also join Kielce-Radom SIG, the oldest and largest SIG in

Good luck with your search
