Searching for My Grandmother's Birth Location #poland


tkopec@...
 

My grandmother was born in 1889 in Poland.  The one family document we have lists the town as Sczanow.  Looking at today’s cities, town and villages do not see a match.  Does anyone have a record of this location?  It is possible that the spelling we have is not correct?

 

Thank you for help.

Have you tried JewishGen's Town Finder? Off the top of my head though, it looks like Mszczonów or maybe Chrzanów.
