Old Polish town names sounding like Task



genbug  Apr 20, 10, 05:28    #1
My grandfather had on his tombstone that he was born in Task Poland. Obviously they spelled it wrong. He was born about 1815. Does any one know what old city or towns sound like Task or maybe part of the names sound like Task? I thought it might be £ask because the L has the cross in it that looks like a T or maybe Pultusk, Tyszyca, Tuska, or Turzez....so any of these sound like Task in English?
thanks

Indeed, the Anglos often have problems with and misread the Polish barred £ as a T. There are localties in Poland called £ask and £aski.
