Marcin Zygmuntowicz was the half-brother of my second great-grandmother, Ksawera Zygmuntowicz. He was born on 15 November 1851 in Skierki, Przasnysz Powiat, Płock Gubernia, Congress Kingdom of Poland, and he was baptized on 16 November 1851 in the Roman Catholic Church in Przasnysz, Przasnysz Powiat, Płock Gubernia, Congress Kingdom of Poland.

Skierki. This happened in the city of Przasnysz on the fourth/sixteenth day of November in the year one-thousand eight-hundred fifty-one at the hour of two in the afternoon. Stanisław Zygmuntowicz appeared, a farmer from Skierki, thirty years old, in the presence of Antoni Milewski, thirty-two years old, and Mateusz Kowaleski, sixty years old, both farmers from Skierki, and he showed us a male child born in Skierki yesterday at the hour of two at night of his wife Anna née Imielska, thirty-one years old. At Holy Baptism performed today, this child was given the name Marcin, and the Godparents were the afore-mentioned Antoni Milewski and Franciszka Niedzwiecka. This document was read aloud to the declarant and witnesses who are unable to write, and it was signed by us.
The Reverend Budny, Pastor of Przasnysz
