I found this border crossing card for my great aunt and would love to know where in Warsaw to look for her family. I've been unable to even search the name Miszele until now. I realize it is a given name of some people. I wanted to know where it exists in Warsaw, or where it did exist. You can see by the card that she was born in 1898 in this town. Her parents names were Moses Goldberg and Dora Blacharek from Nowy Dwor. Could it be near Nowy Dwor? Thank you. Any help would be appreciated. Attachments:

Hello, I could not really identify the name yet. Referring to Nowy Dwor, it is a real town near Warsaw. Since your ancestors seem to be Jewish, there is quite a probability they come from here, there was lots of Jewish people in Warsaw and in the surroundings Here is more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nowy_Dw%C3%B3r_Mazowiecki

I read it as Miszele. It apparently is a given polish name. I figure it must have been around in the 1890's.
I'm not sure if she wrote it herself, or if it was written by her mother, or if it was written by a french canadian.
Thank you for looking.

It has to be some misspelling there, but you read it right..... You can look at google maps: www.google.com/maps/place/Nowy+Dw%C3%B3r+Mazowiecki,+Poland/@52.4343507,20.6216038,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x471ea55972f4787f:0x68a7f3854e32f4a9!8m2!3d52.4465078!4d20.6925219 pointing at Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki There are several villagers with names which may be very difficult for an immigration officer to pronouncec. For instance: Miączynek
