The
Skorowidz Miejscowosci Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej has census
material from 1921 and provides a listing of locations in eastern Poland
in 1921. One of its categories is
osada. I doubt that this is the
same as what you're seeking. It may be useful though. It is available from
the LDS library, film # 804242. It provides only population totals, with
gender, ethnic, and religious breakdowns in Polish. No data for individuals
or families are given in the film.

Greetings
listers,
Does anyone know whether
or not the Government of Poland
ever compiled a complete
list of all Kresy osada (settlements)
that were in existence prior
to the start of World War II?? Since
many osada were totally
destroyed during the War or by the
Soviets, I would hate to
think that there is no official record of
these places.? It would
also be nice to know exactly which
osada were destroyed and
which (hopefully) were incorporated
into the villages that they
were next to, but I know it would be a
miracle to find this out!
Paul Havers, also a member
of our group, has put forth his
best effort as always, and
has a list of osada on his Kresy site,
but it is not all inclusive.
It occurred to me that if
one does not know which village was
next to the osada or village
in question, one may never be
able to locate the place,
which is truly horrible.? I am fortunate
in that I do know the name
of the place of my father's birth.
It was Hallerczyn, next
to the village of Wysocko, which is near
Brody.?? The Wisniowski
and Jesionka families were deported
from Brody on the same day,
10 February 1940.? Of course,
you all know Stefan Wisniowski,
who is the moderator of this
list.? My grandfather
Maksymilian owned the mill in Hallerczyn.
I think Stefan's grandfather
was similar to what we call in the
US, the county extension
agent.? His job was to inform local
farmers of the newest methods
or to help them with specific
problems related to farming.?
We both like to think our
grandfathers knew one another,
and I am fairly certain that
they did.? I can imagine
Stefan's grandfather asking mine,
"Maks, from what you've
seen of the crops, who needs
my help?"
