Dear George,
Re: Map of Dovzhytsia

Attached is a copy of the map of Dovzhytsia which accompanies the list that I have emailed to you previously.
The map was compiled primarily by my father, Michael Lawriwsky (Mykhailo Lavrivskii) of the Syvanyn
branch of the Lavrivskii families of Dovzhytsia. He recently obtained help in determining the eastern end of the
village from Fedor Lazor, who now resides in Eastern Ukraine. Fedor was a postman at one stage.

The map is meant to represent the village as it stood in the 1930s. The house numbers bear no resemblance to
the postal numbers in the village. The accompanying list of residents is obviously not complete and focuses on
the head of household and any unusual events that took place in the village.

The names of residents have been rendered in the Ukrainian-English transliteration and differ from the Polish
spellings. As an aside, you should note that the "Dolzyca" name in Polish has a crossed "1" which means that it
should be pronounced softly, so the pronunciation of "Dov" in Ukrainian is the same as "Dol" in Polish. In both
cases they sound just like the "doh" sound made by Homer Simpson.

The map can be cropped at around house number 1, as the top right hand corner has the houses in it. Houses
that had previously existed but had been dismantled or burnt down are shown in outline.

The map of Tisna needs some changes made to it, and I expect to have it ready in the next month or so. There
is also a map of Habkivtsi, but it is less reliable than the others.

Congratulations once again on the effort that you have made with the Smerek Group.

Yours sincerely,
Dr. Michael Lawriwsky
