Has anyone heard of the polish place, Ðatorowka? Search results turn up nothing. I’ll keep looking while waiting for any potential responses. It’s where my babcia was born, that’s all I know. I’ll try asking my babcia but she’s getting old and it’s hard trying to communicate with her.

For starters, the letter Đ doesen’t exist in Polish. Plus the name likely ends in “ówka”
It’s almost certainly “Batorówka”. There is no “Д in Polish. There are 4 villages this could possibly refer to, 2 in the current borders of Poland, and 2 that were inside Polish borders in 1918-1939 (1 in Belarus and 1 in Ukraine).

We don’t have `Ð` in our alphabet. The rest is most likely spelled -atorówka. I’d guess “Batorówka” and Wikipedia indeed confirms there’s several villages like that, some of which are now in Ukraine and Belarus: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bator%C3%B3wka
Does your grandmother remember any other nearby towns or villages?
Do you know what region of Poland it is? or what year ?
