Tolkowo Manor

In the Lithuanian archive there is a plan of the Tolkowa estate for September 18, 1839. As we can see the manor is called on the plan “Tolkowa Manor”. And the very name “Tolkowo” as a village is formed from 3 villages. Kagaly, Kazany and Yackiwcy. Link to material in the Lithuanian archive: http://elibrary.mab.lt/handle/1/13040

Church in Jazwiny (Wincze)

Church of St. Spirit, built in 1750 by the landowner L. Orzeszko, about one and a half kilometers north of the village. The inhabitants of the surrounding villages call this place “Vinč/Vinci”. The shrine was built as a Uniate shrine. But in today’s materials walking around the internet it is called a church for some reason. The Marmon website also has metrics of the church in Vinci, and they are Greek Catholic for 1823.
