Click on the link for a PDF Copy of the Marriage Record for Kajetan Izbicki and Aniela-Iaczswic-1910 . The record shows that:

• Kajetan Izbicki, age 23, and Anielia Iaczswic, age 18, were married on 09 May 1910 in Worcester, Massachusetts
• Their marriage was recorded in Volume 596 on Page 502, Line 465 in the Marriage Register for Worcester in 1910
• This was the first marriage for both Kajetan and Anielia
• Kajetan’s parents were Dominick Izbicki and Jozefa Biziewski
• Kajetan was born in RussiaPoland and lived in Worcester
• Anielia’s parents were Antoni Iaczswic and Anna Iankowska
• Anielia was born in RussiaPoland and lived in Worcester
• The couple was married by P. C. Reding, a priest residing in Worcester
• The marriage was recorded on 24 May 1910

The bride’s name is apparently misspelled in this record as Anielia Iaczswic .  Her given name should be spelled Aniela .  Her surname is most likely Jacewicz, Jachowicz, Jakiewicz, or Jackowiec.

I have not found any records for Kajetan Izbicki that were recorded after the date of this Marriage Record .  The couple may have changed their names or moved from Worcester.

I previously found the 1920 U.S. Federal Census for the household of Bolesław Izbicki .  The 1910 Census shows the same family with a slightly different family structure.

The Bolesław Izbicki Household in the 1910 U.S. Federal Census

SOURCE:  United States of America, Bureau of the Census. Thirteenth Census of the United States, 1910. Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 1910. Microfilm T624, Roll 632, Worcester City Ward 5 (Part of Precinct 3), Worcester County, Massachusetts, Supervisors District No. 119, Enumeration District No. 1883, Sheet No. 7A, Lines 23-32.

Click on the link for a PDF copy of the 1910 U.S. Federal Census for the Bolesław Izbicki Household .  The Census Record states that:

• Boleslaw Isbicski, the head of the household, was enumerated with his family in a rented house at 11 Meade Street, Worcester, Worcester Co., Massachusetts in Supervisor’s District No. 119, Enumeration District No. 1883, Sheet No. 7A, Lines 23-32 in part of Precinct 3, Worcester City Ward 5, in Dwelling No. 25, and as Family No. 77
• The enumeration was made on 19 Apr 1910 by William Connell
• Boleslaw Isbicski, the head of household, was a married white male, age 36, immigrated in 1892, naturalized, employed as a Laborer in the City Works
• Victoria, his wife, was a married white female, age 39, immigrated in 1899, naturalization status not indicated, not employed, mother of 5 children, all still living
• John N., his son, was a single white male, age 8
• Boleslaw, his son, was a single white male, age 7
• Leo, his son, was a single white male, age 5
• Wladyslaw, his son, was a single white male, age 3
• Victoria, his daughter, was a single white female, age 1-7/12
• Kayetan Isbicski, his brother, was a single white male, age 23, immigrated in 1905, an alien, employed as a Laborer in a Tannery
• John Kruzynski, a boarder, was a single white male, age 21, immigrated in 1909, an alien, employed as a Laborer in a Cotton Mill
• Stephen Kruzynski, a boarder, was a single white male, age 25, immigrated in 1909, an alien, employed as a Laborer in a Cotton Mill
• Boleslaw, his wife Victoria, his brother John, and boarders John and Stephen Kruzynski, were all from Russia and spoke Polish
• The children of Boleslaw and Victoria were all born in Massachusetts
• Boleslaw could speak English, but the other adults could not
• Sons John N, Boleslaw, and Leo were all attending school
• Boleslaw and Victoria were married for 9 years and the marriage was the first for each

This record is of particular interest for two reasons:  the record shows Boleslaw’s brother Kajetan living with the family, and the record shows two boarders living with the family .  In the early part of the 20th Century, Polish immigrants in Worcester often took in boarders in order to make ends meet.

Bolesław Izbicki and Wiktoria Kruczyńska married in Worcester, Massachusetts and had seven children, all born in Worcester .  I’ve found the Birth Records for four of the children on the website of the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) .  Two of the remaining children are indexed on the NEHGS website, but there are no images available .  I also found a marriage indexed for Wiktoria Kruczyńska but not for Bolesław Izbicki .  Unfortunately there is no image available for this marriage.

Here is a summary of the Records (and potential records) for the Izbicki family:

• Krucenska Victorzia, Worcester, 1900, volume 502, page 428, marriage
• Izbiecki John N., Worcester, 1901, volume 510, page 445, birth
• Izbiecki Boleslavus, Worcester, 1903, volume 534, page 463, birth
• Jzbicki Leon, Worcester, 1904, volume 544, page 490, birth
• Jbicki Vadislof, Worcester, 1906, volume 560, page 495, birth
• Jzbiski Victoria, Worcester, 1908, volume 576, page 512, birth
• Izbiski Bernard, Worcester, 1910, volume 592, page 514, birth
• Izbicki, Stanislaw, Worcester, probably 1918

I have published the Birth Records for Leon, Władysław, Wiktoria, and Bernard .  I still need to obtain copies of the records highlighted above in bold .  The first three records are available at the NEHGS and at the Massachusetts State Archives .  The last, the Birth Record for Stanislaw Izbicki, is available at the Worcester Town Clerk’s Office (for $12.00) and the Massachusetts Department of Vital Records and Statistics (for $42.50 by internet, fax, or phone, for $28.00 by mail, or for $18.00 in person).

Ordering records from the Massachusetts State Archives is easy and inexpensive .  The records cost $3.00 each (a bargain) and the citations I have are sufficiently complete that I’m confident I’ll receive the correct records.

The final record, the birth of Stanislaw, is a bit more problematic .  Both the Department of Vital Records and Statistics and the Worcester Town Clerk will only search on a single spelling of the last name .  If I don’t have the same spelling of the surname that appears in the records, I will be charged for the record but receive a “notice of no record found” .  Given the inconsistent spelling of the surname for the other children in the family, I think I’ll just have to wait for my next trip to Boston and search for that record myself.
