[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Location of Morkowie / Merkowie

[Michael Stockhausen]

I agree that Morkow should be the mother's maiden name.
According to my experience, though, Woyciech should be translated with 
Georg. I have several of these cases (Woyciechs signing with Georg or being 
called  Georg in other records) in the Lodz area.
