The Birth and Baptismal Record of Katarzyna Dańko – 1833

SOURCE: Roman Catholic Parish of the Immaculate Heart of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, Dubiecko, Poland. Liber Natorum et Baptisatorum (Book of Births and Baptisms). 1832. Katarzyna Dańko. Text in Latin, translated by Stephen J. Danko.

Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Birth and Baptismal Record of Katarzyna Dańko – 1833. Translated from the Latin, the record states:

  • Katarzyna Dańko was born on 22 Sep 1833, in house number 158 in Nienadowa, a girl legitimately born to a Catholic family and delivered by the midwife Katarzyna [Golwioska?]
  • She was baptized on the same day in the church in Dubiecko by Ignacy Hrobanowicz, Assistant Pastor
  • Her parents were Paweł Dańko, a farmer, and Zofia, daughter of Andrzej Szymański, a farmer
  • His Godparents (Sponsors) were Marcin Janoski, a farmer, and Rozalia, the wife of Błażej Wayda, a farmer

The first three children of Paweł Dańko and Zofia Szymańska shared Godparents.

The Godparents of the first two daughters, Marianna and Katarzyna, were Marcin Janoski and Rozalia, the wife of Błażej Wayda.

The Godparents of the second child, Szymon Dańko, were Błażej Wayda and Maria, the wife of Marcin Janoski.

It seems that I’ve discovered the spouses of the Godparents without even trying! Now, if I can only figure out why these people were so important in the lives of Paweł Dańko and Zofia Szymańska that they were repeatedly asked to be the children’s Godparents.
