Finding the Marriage of my 3rd Great Grandparents on Geneteka

Posted on January 23, 2011 by Steve

I have known for some time that my 2nd great grandmother Julianna Gutowska was baptized in about 1832-1833 in Holy Cross Parish in Warsaw and that her parents were Wojciech Gutowski and Anna Jabłonowska, but I had never been able to find her baptismal record. One problem is that Holy Cross Parish is huge, with thousands of baptisms each year. Another problem is that the record books are not indexed. When Donna Pointkouski announced that she found the marriage record of her 2nd great grandparents on Geneteka, I rejoiced because she found the marriage record in Holy Cross Parish in Warsaw!

Describing Place Names in Poland – Identifying Administrative Divisions

Posted on January 22, 2011 by Steve

In 2010, I wrote a series of articles on Describing Place Names in Poland. Because the borders and the administrative divisions in Poland changed so often throughout history, some genealogists may be tempted to simply enter the name of the village, town, or city where their ancestors lived followed by “Poland”. Others may decide to provide some detail to the place names by using the administrative divisions as they exist today or by using the administrative divisions as they existed at only one point in history (e.g. at the time when one specific gazetteer or map was created). To be historically accurate, the genealogist should provide the administrative divisions as they existed at the time of the event described. Recently, a genealogist friend mentioned that she was having difficulty finding the names of the powiats in which her ancestral villages were located and so I am writing this article on Identifying Administrative Divisions in Poland.
