zbieram materiały o "Bożej męce" na rozwidleniu Szerokiej i Kamioneckiej

nic nie słyszałem...

Dziś odkryłam, że w stanie Michigan w miejscowości Michigan Center jest ulica Mieczewska (Mieczewo Drive). Jak ktoś chce zobaczyć gdzie to jest, niech wpisze w Google Maps:

Mieczewo Drive, Michigan Center, MI,

A jakiś czas temu odkryłam stronę o grupie ok. 30 emigrantów z Mieczewa, którzy osiedlili się w Calumet w stanie Michigan w drugiej połowie XIX w.:
