JewishGen ShtetlSeeker at http://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/LocTown.asp
shows 16 locations for a town of Janowka.

Using Dick's coordinates for Belchatow in ShtetlSeeker finds one town of
Janowka that is only 19.7 miles north of Belchatow, and one town of Janowka
that is only 19.8 miles southwest of Belchatow.  Not sure which is the right
one for Randy.

Randy,

Belgatow is probably Belchatow, Poland located at 51-22 N, 19-23 E, 43 km 
south of Lodz which, in turn, is 119 km WSW of Warsaw.  Belchatow is an 
administrative town and the location of the Lutheran parish church.  Gustav 
Marks may have been born in a smaller village in the vicinity of Belchatow. 
The Parish Records Index database has the marriage of Gustav's parents in 
1881 at Belchatow.   The parents' names are August Marks and Maryanna 
Mathilde Kirsch.  Their ages, names of their parents, and village of 
residence should be on the microfilm number 1733566.
