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

Posted on January 20, 2009 by Steve

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

The Marriage of Andrzej Niedziałkowski and Anna Kłonowska – 1673

Posted on January 19, 2009 by Steve

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.

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.

The Birth and Baptism of Szymon Niedziałkowski – 1676

Posted on January 18, 2009 by Steve

Between 13-22 October 1676, my sixth great-granduncle Szymon Niedziałkowski, son of Andrzej Niedziałkowski and Anna Klonowska was baptized in Pałuki.

Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Birth and Baptismal Record of Szymon Niedziałkowski – 1676. Translated from the Latin, the record states:

Łęki

On the same day, I baptized a son of the noble Andrzej Niedziałkowski and the noble Anna Kłonowska, legally married, to whom the name Szymon was given. The Godparents were the noblesÂ [Jegosmundus? Kłonowski and Marianna [Zielinska?], wife of [Hektor?] Piotr.

Since the microfilm copy of the book is nearly unreadable in many places, I was unable to read the previous record in order to determine what “the same day” was. I was able, however to determine that the second record previous stated 13 October 1676 and that the record following stated 23 October 1676, indicating that the baptism occurred between 13-22 October 1676.

The Birth and Baptism of Mateusz Krzysztof Niedziałkowski – 1683

Posted on January 17, 2009 by Steve

On 03 September 1683, my sixth great-grandfather Mateusz Krzysztof Niedziałkowski, son of Andrzej Niedziałkowski and Anna Klonowska was baptized in Pałuki.

The Baptismal Record of Mateusz Krzysztof Niedziałkowski – 1683

SOURCE: Parafia pw. św. Gotarda (Pałuki, ziemia ciechanowska, województwo mazowieckie, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth). ”Akta urodzeń (w nieporządku) 1658-1694. [Birth records (with omissions) 1658-1694],” folio 75 verso, Mateusz Krzysztof Niedziałkowski, 03 September 1683; FHL microfilm 1496612.

Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Birth and Baptismal Record of Mateusz Krzysztof Niedziałkowski – 1683. Translated from the Latin, the record states:

The Year of the Lord One-Thousand Six-Hundred Eighty-Four

Łęki, the 3rd day of September

By the Reverend Mikołaj Scrzekowski, Protector of the church of Pałuki, was baptized an infant of the Noble Andrzej Niedziałkowski and Anna Klonowska, legally married [one word?] the name given [one word?] Mateusz Krzysztof. The Godparents in the Sacred Font were the Nobles Bernard Paiewski and Ewa Paiewska his wife, the Noble Wojciech Chilienski.

This is one of the most difficult records I’ve had to transcribe and translate. The microfilm copy of this entire book of records is nearly unreadable.

It appears that this baptism was recorded several months after the fact. Based on the records preceding and following this one, the baptism was recorded between 05 February 1684 and 20 February 1684. The record states, however, that the baptism occurred on 03 September. I presume this means the 03 September of the previous year, but the record does not specify the year of baptism, only the year in which it was recorded.

1785 Gzy Parish Census – Bonawentura (Bonifacy) Burski, Wojciech Burski, and Magdalena Burska

Posted on January 16, 2009 by Steve

As with the 1782, 1783, and 1784 Gzy Parish Censuses, the 1785 census is arranged into columns, with listings for Children up to 7 years of age, Children from 8 to 17 years of age, Household members 18 years of age and older, Octogenarians, and three other groups that I couldn’t read.

My father served in the U.S. Naval Armed Guard in World War II . Â The Armed GuardÂ was considered to be the second most hazardous assignment in World War II, after the Marines. The photo below shows my father performing one of the less hazardous parts of his duty whileÂ aboard the S.S. Daniel Drake while the ship wasÂ near Archangel, Russia.

1782 Gzy Parish Census – Bonawentura (Bonifacy) Burski, Wojciech Burski, and Magdalena Burska

Posted on January 12, 2009 by Steve

A rare and wonderful record from Poland is the parish census. I have only ever seen a parish census from one parish in Poland – Gzy, and I’ve only seen four years of that census – 1782, 1783, 1784, and 1785.

My fifth great-grandparents, Bonawentura (Bonifacy) Burski and Helena Krzyczkowska, and my fifth great-granduncle, Wojciech Burski, are listed in the 1782 Gzy Parish Census with their families.

The census is arranged into columns:

Column Headers of the Gzy Parish Census for 1782

SOURCE: Parafia pw. św . Walentego (Gzy, ziemia ciechanowska, województwo mazowieckie, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth). “Ks. Metrykalne par. Gzy; K. Urodzonych oraz Sumariusz 1781-1804. [Metrical Books of the Parish of Gzy; Book of Births with Summary 1781-1804.],”Â Gzy Parish CensusÂ (1782); Archiwum Diecezjalne w Płocku.

I can’t read the column headers very well, but they refer to the following groups:

Children up to 7 years of age
Children fromÂ 8 to 17 years of age
Household members 18 years of age and older
Octogenarians
[?]
[?]
[?]

In the 1782 census, the families of Bonifacy Burski and Wojciech Burski were enumerated immediately after each other.

[Metrical Books of the Parish of Gzy; Book of Births with Summary 1781-1804.],”Â Gzy Parish CensusÂ (1782); Archiwum Diecezjalne w Płocku.

The records show the following information:

Household of Bonifacy Burski

Age 18 and older:
GGDD Bonifacy Burski
Helena, wife
Stefan, son
Magdalena, sister, [farmer ?]
Maryanna Kaligowska

Age 8-17:
Baltazar, son
Paweł, grandson

Household of Wojciech Burski

Age 18 and older:
GGDD Wojciech Burski
Elzbieta, wife
Antoni, son
Piotr, son
Barbara Burska

These census records provide information included no other records of the time period: family groups.

Still, questions remain. Pawel is Bonifacy’s grandson, but whose son is he? Who is Maryanna Kaligowska and why is she living with Bonifacy? Who is Barbara Burska and why is she living with Wojciech? Are Bonifacy and Wojciech related, and how?

The Burski Family in the Birth/Baptismal Records from Gzy, Poland 1781-1842

Posted on January 11, 2009 by Steve

I just finished searching the Birth/Baptismal Indexes for theÂ parish of Gzy in Poland from 1781-1842 for the Burski surname and found forty records. After examining each record, I was able to establish the following family groups:

Child of Piotr Burski and Joanna Burska
– Cecylia born in Borze Przechy, baptized 22 Nov 1791 in Gzy

Children of Piotr Burski and Antonina Grochowska
– Zusanna born in Borze Przechy, baptized 06 Jan 1822 in Gzy
– Tekla born in Borze Przechy, baptized 27 Sep 1824 in Gzy
– Joanna born 13Â Jan 1827Â in Borze Przechy, baptized 19 Jan 1827 in Gzy

Children of Piotr Burski and Rozalia Pokrzywnicka
– Leonora born in Borze Marcisze, baptized 24 Feb 1799 in Gzy
– Franciszek born in Borze Marcisze, baptized 14 Mar 1802 in Gzy
– Tekla born 09 Jun 1805 in Borze Marcisze, baptized 09 Jun 1805 in Gzy
– Jozefa born in Borze Marcisze, baptized 16 Oct 1807 in Gzy

Children of Maciej Burski and Domicella Grochowska
– Anastasia born in Borze Marcisze, baptized 09 Mar 1823 in Gzy

– Leopold born 11 Nov 1834 in Grochy Myszki, baptized 30 Nov 1834 in Gzy

Children of Baltazar Burski and Katarzyna Napierkowska
– Jacinta born in Borze Marcisze, baptized 07 Apr 1793 in Gzy
– Anna born in Borze Marcisze, baptized 27 Jul 1796 in Gzy
– Rozalia born in Borze Marcisze, baptized 17 Apr 1798 in Gzy
– Maciej born in Borze Marcisze, baptized 01 Mar 1801 in Gzy
– Tomasz born in Borze Marcisze, baptized 30 Sep 1803 in Gzy
– Michal born 26 Aug 1806Â in Borze Marcisze, baptized 27 Aug 1806 in Gzy

Child of Tomasz Burski and Antonina Moscicka
– Teofil born in Borze Marcisze, baptized 10 Oct 1824 in Gzy

Child of Franciszek Burski and Maryanna
– Tekla born 29 Sep 1836Â in Borze Marcisze, baptized 03 Oct 1836 in Gzy

There is also a Maryanna Burska listed in the birth indexes as being born in 1829, but I could not find this record in order to discover who her parents were.

Now, I’m faced with the task of figuring out how all these family groupsÂ are related to each other.

Anna Burska was my fourth great-grandmother . She was the daughter of my fifth great-grandparents, Bonawentura Burski and Helena Krzyczkowska. However, none of these threeÂ people appear in the Gzy birth/baptismal records from 1781-1842, since Anna Burska and all her siblings were born before 1781.
