1 thought on “Kościan

  1. I am looking for information on a family called Bojn who owned land of the colony Rathenfeld (later Ratowice) that was part of the Kościan n (kościański in Polish, Kosten in German) county and the Śmigiel (szmigielski in Polish) district between 1815 and 1848. Any help you could give me would be much appreciated.
