There is a marginal notation because the priest forgot to mention the age of the mother in the text of the record:
‡ twenty years of age J Kulisz
The father, Jan Dymek, was not present because he was away from home, serving as a soldier in the Imperial Russian Army . If the father is not present, the midwife who delivered the child is usually the declarant . In this case, the Godfather presented the child in place of the midwife.
