The Places Where My Ancestors Had Lived
Jeff Kaiser's trip to both Szczuczyn and Radzilow, October 2004
Because geographic limitations affected movement in two directions (the Prussian border just to the west; the huge Biebrza marshlands just to the East) a lot of Szczuczyn families married and/or migrated along a thin corridor. Many Szczuczyners had at least one direct ancestral root in Radzilow, who at some point moved, for either marriage or economic reasons (to the larger town of Szczuczyn).
