1783 Gzy Parish Census – Bonawentura (Bonifacy) Burski, Wojciech Burski, and Magdalena Burska

My fifth great-grandparents, Bonawentura (Bonifacy) Burski and Helena Krzyczkowska, my fifth great-granduncle, Wojciech Burski, and my fifth great-grandaunt Magdalena Burski are listed in the 1783 Gzy Parish Census with their families.

As with the 1782 Gzy Parish Census, the 1783 census is arranged into columns, with listings for Children up to 7 years of age, Children from 8 to 17 years of age, Household members 18 years of age and older, Octogenarians, and three other groups that I couldn’t read.

These census records provide information included no other records of the time period: family groups.

The census is located in the back of the Book of Births with Summary 1781-1804. The reader must turn the book upside down and read the censuses from the back of the book.
