Bill,

I made a search in the SGGEE Pedigree Database and found Daniel Froehlich 
and his wife Wilhelmine Labrentz there.  There was no birth place mentioned 
for him, but his father, Peter Froehlich, is also in the database, and his 
birth place is listed as follows:
"Polish Colony Of Lasziska [Laziska] Near Town Of Babiak".
Therefore, in my mind there is no doubt that the birth place of Daniel 
Froehlich that is shown in the abovementioned scan should read "Laziska".  
You will not find this village in the ShtetlSeeker, but it is located about 
2 km northeast of Przystronie, which in turn is located at the coordinates 
52.21'N 18.36'E.  The village of Laziska is mentioned in Oskar Kossmann's 
book "Die Deutschen in Polen seit der Reformation", and shown as number 1033 
in table V: "Warschauer Liste der Kolonien und Kolonisten vom Jahre 1835".  
In 1825 the village had 80 inhabitants, which number had decreased to 34 in 
1835.

Hope this helps,
