Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Birth and Baptismal Record for Józef Niedziałkowski- 1897. The record, translated from the Russian, states:
Pomaski â„– 42.
This happened in the village of Szwelice on the fourth / sixteenth day of May in the year one-thousand eight-hundred ninety-seven at one o’clock in the afternoon. Teofil Niedziałkowski appeared in person, residing in Pomaski wit his father, owners of the noble parts [of the village], thirty-five years old, in the presence of Ludwik Niedziałkowski, sixty years old, and Feliks Mosakowski, forty-four years old, owners of parts [of the village], and he presented to us a male child stating that it was born in Pomaski on the twenty-third of April / fifth of May of this same year, of his lawful wife Ksawera née Zygmuntowicz, twenty-five years old. At Holy Baptism performed on this date by the Reverend Wladysław SenniÑki, Assistant Pastor, this child was given the name Józef and his Godparents were: Józef Nosarzewski and Joanna his wife. This document was read to the declarant and illiterate witnesses and was signed by us alone.

This is the duplicate copy of this record that was filed with the state and is now archived at the State Archives in Pułtusk, copies of which are available online on Genbaza. The original copy was archived in the Roman Catholic Archives in Pułtusk, copies of which were microfilmed by the Family History Center in Salt Lake City.
The two copies read exactly the same, but the original, which I wrote about on 11 October 2006, includes marginal notations that record the two marriages of Józef Niedziałkowski. The duplicate copy, filed with the state, does not include these marginal notations.
