No 60. Klonowo
This happened in Pałuki on the fifteenth day of July in the year one-thousand eight-hundred thirty-two at the hour of two in the afternoon . There appeared the well-born Mikołaj Chodkowski, thirty years of age, owner of a part [of the village] and residing in Klonowo, in the presence of Ignacy Bartołd, thirty years of age, and Tomasz Kalinowski, forty-three years of age, residing in Klonowo, and he showed Us a child of the female sex born in Klonowo on the thirteenth day of this same month and year at the hour of four in the morning of his wife Antonina née Pajewska, thirty-eight years of age. To this child at Holy Baptism performed on this day was given the name Marianna, and her Godparents were the well-born Józef Kierzkowski and Zofia Cichowcka. This document was read aloud to the declarant and witnesses and was signed. The declarant does not know how to write.
    [signed] The Reverend Józef Freszkowski, Pastor of Pałuki
Marianna Chodkowska was my 2nd cousin 4X removed.
The original record seems to spell the surname Chodkowski as Rudkowski. However, the index correctly spells it as Chodkowski. Other details, such as the name of the village and the name of the mother confirm that the father is Mikołaj Chodkowski, not Mikołaj Rudkowski.
