You do not need to use Polish letters. Then select No. 10 Jozefow, to find your Jozefow near Pleszew and Chocz. there are currently 295 residents. Use circles on the right to zoom in and out of the area. If you click on the selected Jozefow on the map, then move your computer mouse without pressing on it to another place, like Chocz or Pleszew, you will see in the right lower corner distance in kilometers, divide by 3 and multiply by 2 to get this distance (to church?) in miles.
