The third record I found in the microfilms at my local Family History Center Saturday was birth and baptismal record of Rozalia Niedziałkowska, another daughter of my third great grandparents, Antoni Niedziałkowski and Karolina Milewska. Rozalia was born on 24 Jun 1849 in Godacze, Maków Powiat, Łomża Gubernia, Congress Kingdom of Poland. She was baptized on 25 Jun 1849 in the parish of Saint John the Baptist in Krasne.

Two given names that appear in this document are names I haven’t seen before in Polish parish records: Ferdynand and Fortunat. Both of these names appear in the Big Book of Names – a listing of Polish given names – however, the frequency of these names is not provided.
