Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks. I can't find anything about a place called Owlice in Poland., but ulica means street, so maybe it is just the main street or something like that.

Asker: Thanks for the references. They are nice to have. I do not find anything in them that helps me with my question, but they are still nice to have.
