Górno

I told that my 3rd great uncle Jan Raszkiewicz was born in Górno. It was hard at first for me to determine if Majdan Górny. and Górno, were two different places or the same place since the two names are similar. It turns out that they are 1.7 miles apart. Majdan Górny is four miles east of Tomaszow Lubelski. Górno [ˈɡurnɔ] is a village in the district of Gmina Tomaszów Lubelski, within Tomaszów Lubelski County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland. It is two miles north of Tomaszów Lubelski. On this map you can see where Górno and Majdan Górny (and Sabaudia) are in relation to each other and to the city of Tomaszow Lubelski.

The village of Majdan Górny was founded at the beginning of the 18th century and takes its name from Górno Górno has 130 people living there currently. There is more than one Górno in Poland. The correct one is the one in the gmina (or administrative district) in Tomaszów Lubelski County, Check out the area on this short video. It is in Polish but you can still see the countryside.

For example, in 1812 WalentyGrabek, (my 4x great grandfather) died in Gorno in house #11 at age 44. In 1824, when Jan Raszkiewicz was born in his grandfather Tomasz Dominik’s(my 4x great grandfather) house #100 in Górno, his parents Michal Raszkiewicz and Anna nee Dominik (3x great grandparents) were living there. Michal was born in Sabuadia but moved to Górno when he got married.
