I would appreciate anyone’s translation of this town’s name. This town is mentioned many times in the Tarnogrod Yizkor Book. I cannot find any town with a similar name in the Town Finder or the Gazetteer. The author of this chapter is from Lukowa. Thank you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babice

Based on the Tarnogrod reference, it is most likely https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babice,_Lublin_Voivodeship that is 15 km from Tarnogrod and 3 km from Lukowa.
