A daughter named Pelagia was born to my 2nd great grand uncle Ludwik Niedziałkowski and his wife Józefa Pomaska on 16 January 1869. Ludwik was, in turn, the brother of my 2nd great grandfather, Wojciech Niedziałkowski.

Maintaining the Public Register
This entry is one of the Niedziałkowski family records from the Szwelice parish that I have not yet translated and posted, even though I’ve had this record for several years.
The numbers above and below the name of the village indicate that the record is on page 98 and is the 4th baptism recorded in Szwelice for the year 1869.

Hi Steve,
In reviewing my Kulikowski family research this week, I noticed the Niedzialkowska name on a marriage record included on my photocopy: 1922 marriage of Ceslawa Chelchowska (b. 1904), daughter of Joseph and Pelagia (ex Niedzialkowska) Chelchowski. Just fyi, in case this is of interest.
And in the Small World Department, your Boleslaw Izbicki lived in the same three-decker as my maternal Prokopowicz family ca. 1916.

Yes, Barbara, I’m interested in knowing more about this record. Where did this marriage occur? The dates are consistent with the possibility that this Pelagia Niedzialkowska could be my cousin.
