[Cz-L] a little more on Neuzuczka

Seeking the current geographical name of the town that was once Neuzuczka, I
wrote to the Library of Congress Geography and Map Division, via their web
site...

www.loc.gov/rr/askalib/ask-geogmap.html

Response was almost immediate. The same day, they mailed me a letter and
complimentary 19th and 20th century copies of maps of the Sadgora vicinity,
showing "Zuczka nowa" in 1876 and "Novaya Zuchka" in 1982. Dr. Stephen
Paczolt, wrote, "On the 1982 map, even though Novaya Zuchka is show, it
seems to have merged, along with Staraya Zuchka, and seems to be part of
Sadgora. In our gazetteers, there is no separate listing for either of the
Zuchkas. This leads me to the 'merged with Sadgora' theory."

Dr. Paczolt confirms what Bruce told me to begin with!
