What town in Poland is listed here? The source document is from 1920, if that helps

  1. I am trying to figure out some family history. This appears my grandfather’s identity documents. Can anybody decode where it’s saying he’s from?

  2. I’m 90% sure it’s a town Lipno in then Warsaw Voivodeship, modern day Mazovian Voivodeship

    Edit: I checked and it’s more likely it’s another Lipno, in modern day Kuyavian-Pomerenian Voivodeship, because the name of powiat also checks out

  3. It’s Lipno, the post code is 87-600. It had and still has its own county, “Lipno” – just different conjugations in the first and second paragraphs.

    During the II republic, there was a fairly large “Warsawian” voivodeship and Lipno was in it, despite being quite far from Warsaw.

  4. Może to warmińskie? dostaliśmy stamtąd kilka wsi po 1920

  5. Lipno, powiat Lipno, was part of województwo warszawskie in 1918-1938

    Later it was part of:

    1938-1939 województwo pomorskie

    1939-1945 reichsgau Danzig-Westpreußen

    1945-1950 województwo pomorskie

    1950-1975 województwo bydgoskie

    1975-1999 województwo włocławskie

    1999- województwo kujawsko-pomorskie

  6. I think it translates as “there is a reason handwritten cursive isn’t used nowadays”

  7. “w: Lipnie” is my guess, so the place would be called “Lipno”

  8. Powiat is Lipno, Województwo is Warszawskie but the town is too unintelligible
