POLAND: Franciska Skowinski

[borschy]

Hi, Just realised my great great grandmother Franciska Skowinski was born in a place called Lambert,Poland but cant find this on any map. Can anyone help? Maybe it is called another name in Polish?
Thanks,

I wonder if you mean Lemberg, now L'viv in Western Ukraine - it had a large Polish population up to WW2.

In the right contexts, you can get an approximation of an "am" sound in Polish using the vowels ą or ę, so if you don't think L'viv is worth considering you might look for places beginning Ląb- or Lęb- (or Łąb- or Łęb-) - personally, though, I would want to look at L'viv first.
