Kapčiamiestis 1912


Копцıово/Koptsiovo (now Kapčiamiestis, Lithuania)


This is a Christmas card sent in 1912 from Копцıово / Koptsiovo (spelled Kopciowo in Polish, now Kapčiamiestis, Lithuania), Сув/Suv (Suvalki Gubernia). Копцıово can also be spelled Копциово in modern Russian. It is interesting that this card is written by a French woman to her relative in Cracovie, French name for Kraków, Poland. I do not know if it is a French woman who married a Polish man or the family itself is all French. Her husband seems to be a director in a bank in Łomża, Poland.
