 [signed] The Reverend Józef Bońkowski, Pastor of the Parish of Krasne
Teodor Chodkowski was my 2nd cousin 4X removed.
The priest underlined the hour that the birth was reported and then made a note at the bottom of the record . I could not read the beginning and end of this note, but the middle word was “underline”. Whatever the note says, it apparently explains why the hour the birth was reported is underlined in the record .
