Polkowski / Polkow / Polcho / Polchoe
I have learned that Polkow was also spelled as Polcho and Polchoe depending on when people left certain areas from Prussia, Pomerania, Lithuania, Germany and Poland. I have also learned that Polkow was a villiage and now is a suburb of Szcecin in Poland.
Names of the town areas over time:
Szczecin / Szczecin-Pilchowo / Stettin / Stettin-Polchow
