Note: The correct spelling of "Przerosl" in Polish is as it appears in this graphic: Note the accent mark over the "s" – which means that the letter is not an "s" at all, but an entirely different letter of the Polish alphabet (which is pronounced somewhat like the "sh" sound in English). As a result, if you conduct a web search for "Przerosl" you may not find pages that use the correct Polish spelling. (If you're feeling adventurous, you might want to try a Polish search engine, such as szukaj.pl. Enter "Przerosl" as the search term, and among the results you'll see the Polish spelling of the town – which you can then copy-and-paste and enter as a new search term to obtain more inclusive results.)
