Andrzej’s father, Paweł, was a day laborer. Unlike his wife, Rozalia Burska, he was not born to a noble family. Since nobility was passed from father to son, none of his children were of noble birth, despite Rozalia’s noble birth.

Andrzej was apparently baptized on the same day as his younger brother Ignacy. If the documents accurately record the dates of birth and baptism, Andrzej was baptized more than two years after his birth. Another Andrzej 13 Jul 1831 to the same parents. Since this would be the second child of this couple named Andrzej, it is likely the first Andrzej died in infancy.
