Obidzino
On the 21st I, Grzegorz Kruszewski, baptized a female child by the name of Józefata, daughter of Józef Obidzienski and Katarzyna, legally married. The Godparents in the Sacred Font were Walenty Kołakowski and Marianna Jarzeńska.
As with most other records from this location and time period, one must refer to a previous record to learn the month and year of the baptism.
March 1758
One interesting point to note about the village where the Obidzienski family lived – the village is called Obidzino. I suspect that, since the Obidzienskis were from the lesser nobility, the village was named after the family.
