Gniewkowo & Brine Park, Inowrocław

DSC05812Today, I visited family in Gniewkowo. Gniewkowo is the parish town my ancestors come from. Of course our visit began with some good Polish food.

There were no plans for our visit together and last year we went to Toruń, but it was decided that we would go to Inowrocław. We went to the Tężnie (Cooling Towers) in Brine Park in Inowrocław. The towers and wall have salt water running down through straw to help fill the air with salt water to help with respiration problems & to create a cool area to be in. There are three original such places in Poland - Inowrocław, Ciechocinek & Konstancin. There have been a few smaller ones built but none to the scale of the first three.

If you are in Inowrocław you will enjoy a relaxing walk around the park.

Hello,
my name is Joachim Fritz. My Father's ancestors descended from Gniewkowo, Gniewkowièc, Dziemonia, lat 18th - beginning of 20th century.
On June 10th, I'll be going to have a look to Inowroclaw's archives. I'm interested to know kind of addresses, where my ancestors use to live. Do you have any other further suggestions where to find addresses of my ancestors??
Kinde regards
Joachim Fritz

Joachim,

In the early years, a smaller village just used house numbers and not always in any sequential order. They may have been given the next number as it was built. The church sometimes listed the house number of the event. If you are going to Archives they may have some maps that will help you match up the house numbers. The State Archives in Torun may be of help to you also. If you are already going to the Inowroclaw Branch of the Archives, I would ask there what they have available.

Good Luck!
