I have a few various names of villages/towns that my family came from in Poland/Russia. They came to America before WWI around 1914 and much of Poland was Russia at the time. Many town names have changed since then, and it is so confusing.

These are the listed town/villages they list.

Zytger, Stare Brzozowo, Brzozowo, Prashnysh, Rowne (maybe Rowno?),

Perhaps someone here knows of an area that all of these names coincide with. I look up Brzozowo today and it relates to I think maybe 15 different places.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
