When I originally translated the baptismal records for Stanisław and Antoni Markiewicz, I transliterated the mother’s surname as Piontkowa. However, the names in these documents should be translated into the same sounds in Polish, not necessarily the same letters. The correct Polish translation of Franciszka’s surname is Piątkowa, and Piątkowa is the feminine version of the surname Piątek.
I received an email from […]

Kazimierz Dolny is a Polish village on the Vistula River and is located about 10 miles northeast of Braciejowice. Since I’ve never been to Braciejowice, the ancestral village of the Markiewicz family, I can’t show any photographs of Braciejowice. I did, however, travel to Kazimierz Dolny with two friends in the fall of 2000. I’m not sure […]
Braciejowice, the ancestral village of the Markiewicz family is located in eastern Poland in Gmina Łaziska, Powiat Ziemski Opolski, Wojewódstwo Lubelskie. In a previous post, I translated the entries for Braciejowice from the Słownik Geograficny which described the place as a village and grange (a grange is a large farmstead associated with a manor) between […]
In 1930, Stanislaw Markiewicz was still living in Worcester, Massachusetts, but by this time was using the name Stanley Markiewicz. In addition, all his children were listed with Anglicized names, as opposed to the Polish names used in the 1920 Census.
