The older map, dating to 1895, shows the area of Lvov (Lemburg) where the Ornstein's came from.
Mordechai and Dvorah Ornstein are thought to have come from the village of Yagelinca, which I cannot locate on any modern or old maps. It was probably in the Lvov area, in the region of Galicia גאליציע(Galitsie). I can only see two towns on google maps, which bear any similiarity in name or suggestion, Jagielnica, Strzeliński in Lower Silesia in Poland and Yahil'nytsia in Chortkivs'kyi in the Ukraine.
The second, modern map is a just there for comparison and to put the area into a modern perspective.
