Czyżyny is a region in Kraków. North East from the downtown.

Mogiły are closer to Warsaw, between Łódż and Warsaw. It's a small community with about 120 people. It's now called Joachimów-Mogiły

krysia,
Thanks for your information. You mentioned Mogity. Is that the same place as Mogita or Mogila? Villa Mogita and Villa Czyzyny are listed as Catholic churches or centers. Can you clarify all of this for me?

I did some more research and found a tiny village called Mogiła. It's south of the city Zamość and close to the Russian border. It belonged to Russia at one time.
There is also a Mogiła, a district of Kraków, same as Czyżyny.
Villa means Village, or district. In Polish it's a Wieś, small village in the country. That's why they say Wieś Mogiła meaning Villa Mogiła. Here are two churches in Mogiła:

Thanks for your help Krysia. Your information about Czyzny helped me locate the Villa Cyzyny church records and the date of birth for my great grandfather.

Mogila and Czyzyny used to be beautiful villages near Krakow. Before I world war they belonged to Austro-Hungarian Empire. After II world war they were destroyed by comunists as a huge fctory was built there. Now this place is called Nowa Huta and everything is made of concrete. However these two places have a beautifu history starting in 13th century when a famous sanctuary in Mogila was founded (John Paul II visted this place).
