Index to the Illustrated Geographic Atlas of the Kingdom of Poland – Powiat Łowicki

The Polish Genealogical Society of America (PGSA) once hosted a project to index the Illustrated Geographic Atlas of the Kingdom of Poland and I indexed the villages of Powiat Łowicki. The section numbers in my index refer to the sections drawn on the map of Powiat Łowicki (Łowicz Powiat) that were once on the PGSA website. Click on the map below to enlarge it.

Doing the DNA Happy Dance!

For several years, I had attended lectures on genetic genealogy and I read articles on the subject, but I balked at having a genealogical test performed on my own DNA because I really didn’t have a compelling reason to do so.

After thinking about the possible uses of genetic genealogy, I realized that DNA could provide the answer to a nagging question about my Niedziałkowski ancestors. Over the years, I had obtained convincing evidence to consrtuct a pedigree for Franciszek Niedzialkoski extending as far back as 1718, but I had couldn’t find documents to convincingly connect my own Niedzialkowski ancestors with Franciszek’s line. At best, I had anecdotal evidence from my uncles, a single reference on my grandfather’s immigrant passenger manifest to his uncle Franciszek, and evidence that my ancestors resided in a house owned by Franciszek Niedzialkoski. I have still not been able to find sources of primary information that could prove the relationship. Specifically, I have not found my grandfather’s birth record, my great-grandparents’ marriage record, or my great-grandfather’s birth record.

Three of my Niedzialkowski/Niedzialkoski cousins agreed to take the DNA test, and the results prove that our families are all closely related.

And so, with the great success I had with the Niedzialkowski DNA project, I decided to have our own (Danko) Y-DNA tested. My Y-DNA belongs to haplogroup R1b1b2a1a and, while it was very interesting to see the migration patterns of my forefathers, the results of my own Y-DNA test had not led me to any great discoveries about my family.

Until now.

In this past week, I discovered that my DNA matches the DNA of two other persons on 24/25 markers. According to Y-Search, this close a match indicates that the probability of a close relationship is very high.

Here’s what’s interesting, though. Neither of my matches knows anything about their patrilineal ancestors, each carries the surname of a matrilineal ancestor, and both live in Ukraine.

Additional DNA tests may help the three of us determine whether or not we really are all related. Proof of a genetic relationship among the three of us may help my matches discover more about their own ancestry. Perhaps they will discover that they, too, are members of the Dańko family.

Oh, and by the way, I’ve seen a photo of one of my matches. From the facial resemblance in the photo, we could well be related.

The Birth and Baptism of Adam Maksymilian Niedziałkowski – 1759

Adam Maksymilian Niedziałkowski, son of Kazimierz Niedziałkowski and Brigida Milewska, was born on about 21 Oct 1759 in Mosaki Rukle, Ciechanów Land, Mazovian Voivodeship, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. He was baptized in the parish church in Krasne, Ciechanów Land, Mazovian Voivodeship, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth on 21 Oct 1759.

The Birth and Baptism of Marianna Niedziałkowska – 1757

Marianna Niedziałkowska, daughter of Kazimierz Niedziałkowski and Brigida Milewska, was born on about 16 Jun 1757 in Mosaki Rukle, Ciechanów Land, Mazovian Voivodeship, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. She was baptized in the parish church in Krasne, Ciechanów Land, Mazovian Voivodeship, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth on 16 Jun 1757.

Click on the image above to enlarge it. Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Birth and Baptismal Record of Marianna Niedziałkowska. Translated from the Latin, the record reads:

28 Mosaki Rukle

I, Jakub Pilchowski, Canon Regular of the Laterans, on the 16th day of June, baptized a female child by the name of Marianna, daughter of the noble Kazimierz Niedziałkowski and Brigida, his legally married. The Godparents in the Sacred Font were the noble Julianna Mięszkowska and Wojciech [Tegadalski?], administrator of the goods of Zbiki. [1757?]

Unlike most of the other records in this group, the year 1757 appears at the end of the record. I thought that this might actually be 1752, but I’m really not certain. In any case, the record appears in the correct place in the register to have been recorded on 16 June 1757.

Kazimierz and Brygida were married on 21 February 1751. Their known children were born on 16 Jun 1757 (Marianna), 21 Oct 1759 (Adam Maksymilian), and 07 Mar 1762 (Kunegunda). This makes for a good progression, with children born about every 2-3 years. Unfortunately, the Baptismal records for Krasne from 1742-1755 were not microfilmed by the Family History Library. With a marriage in 1751, I would also expect at least two children born in the period 1752-1755.

A Little Vacation

I’m off to Albany, New York for a short vacation, and I may not be able to blog while I’m there.

The occasion for the trip is my father’s 85th birthday. In addition to seeing my father and step-mother, I’ll be able to visit with my two sisters, two step-brothers, and four of my five step-sisters. It’s been a while since we’ve all been in the same room together!

While I’m in Albany, there will be a few days when I can do some genealogy research in the repositories in Albany. I’ll have to see what opportunities present themselves while I’m there. I might spend some time at the Albany Public Library and research the City Directories or I might stop by the New York State Library and search the microfilmed copies of the local newspapers or the New York State Census. Still, I might visit the Albany County Courthouse to look for land and property records, estate records, and naturalization papers or perhaps I should go to the New York State Archives and research vital records. And, then, there are always cemetery records, school records, mortuary records, and church records to investigate.

Or, I might just play with my nephew.

The Marriage of Andrzej Niedziałkowski and Anna Kłonowska – 1673

On 06 Nov 1673, my seventh great-grandparents, Andrzej Niedziałkowski and Anna Kłonowska, residents of Łęki, were married in Pałuki, a village in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The page on which this record was written was so badly stained that the page had to be microfilmed at two exposures.

The Marriage Record of Andrzej Niedziałkowski and Anna Kłonowska – 1673

SOURCE: Parafia pw. św. Gotarda (Pałuki, ziemia ciechanowska, województwo mazowieckie, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth). ”Akta małżeństw (w nieporządku) 1662-1694. [Marriage records (with omissions) 1662-1694],” folio 48 verso, Andrzej Niedziałkowski and Anna Kłonowska, November 1673; FHL microfilm 1496612.

Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Marriage Record of Andrzej Niedziałkowski and Anna Kłonowska – 1673. Translated from the Latin, the record states:

Łęki

On the 6th day of November was contracted a marriage in the church in Pałuki between the noble Andrzej Niedziałkowski and the noble Anna Kłonowska, widow, [two words?] Łęki [two words?] three banns on the day of the Lord and [one word?] next to [one word?] [one word?] blessed Mikołaj [Smigowski?] Vicar of Pałuki in [three words?] the noble Jerzy Paiewski [one word?] [Smiaenski?] and other [one word?].

The year of the marriage was not explicitly stated in the record, but it was in sequence with other records from 1673.
