Kohan, Poland

Hi,

Has anyone every heard of Kohan, Poland.
I'm trying to locate the origins of my family, and found this location listed on U.S. immigration papers for a relative in the 1920's.
I can't find anything on google.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Bryon

nasza-klasa.pl look here...


P.

Kohan does not show up on mapa.szukacz.pl a mapping search engine.

Please double check the name of place and origin of the relative it may be a germanize version. Just a guess.

Try Kochany (as a place-name) and Kochan as a surnmame. Kohan is a phonetic respelling designed to retain the proper procnunciaton. Otherwise English speakers would Anglo-mangle it into something like Cutchen.

Could it be an old shtetl? being as Kohan is a distinctly Yiddish sounding name? If so,well,maybe it just isnt there anymore.

Thread attached on merging:
Kohan, Russia, Poland???

I've posted on here before in regards to my family history, and everyone has been very helpful. I've found some info which I think is leading me in the right direction, and am hoping someone can clarify this for me.
I now have some citizenship papers for my grandfathers brother. The paper states that he was born in Kohan, Russia, Poland. It states that he must not remain loyal to the Republic of Poland. These papers are from around 1920.
Does anyone known where this area may be?
I have been trying for a long time to determine where in Poland my family is from, and think this may be the only solid lead I will find.
Thanks for any help.

There are at least two localities called Kochany (Darlingville, Loveton, Belovedville?) in Poladn. One is in Masovia (Mazowsze) near the town of Stocuzek Łukowski the other in Sub-Carpathia (Podkarpackie) north of the industrial city of Stalowa Wola.
There are also at least two localtieis in Russia called Коханы (Kochany) and in today's Ukraine one Кохан (Kochan) and one Коханoе (Kochanoye).

Thanks for the info. I did a little reading on the towns you mentioned. I just need to find a way to find out if one of these places is where my family is from.
Btw, is the name Fabiszewski fairly common? I came across it a few times while looking into this.

There are more than 1,800 Fabiszewskis in Poland, the principal concentrations being in the Mazowsze and Kujawy regions. Apologies for the typo in the previous post which should have read: Stoczek Łukowski

Thanks for all your help Polonius.

Do you mean Konin? Dorothy pace
Does anyone know where Rosch (possible spelling Rusch) is?
It is in Konin County I believe somewhere in the triangle between Poznan and Konin to the east and Katowice to the south. Had family there in 19th century. Dorothy pace

Rusch and Rosch are German spellingns. The Polish woudl be Rusz or Rosz, but none such localities exist in today's Poland. There are some that start with those syllables such as Roszki and Ruszków.

Thank you Polonius3. The family statements go back and forth stating they are German, then Polish, then Russian. Dorothy Pace

Family records speak of baptism in Wladyslawoski Church in Rusch, Poland 1894. I think it might be in current day Roszki Poland, Konin County. It was probably German Lutheran. Records had church seal of the Protestant-Augsb. Community at Konin 1826. Also looking for Eastern Cemetry in Rosch (Roszki?) Poland. Any thoughts? Dorothy pace
