Marginal Marriage Notation for Sabina Niedziałkowska

Posted on October 14, 2006 by Steve

On the Birth and Baptismal Record of Sabina Niedziałkowska – 1899, there is a marginal notation of her marriage.  Usually, these marginal notations of marriage were made if the marriage took place in another parish.  This one, however, is a bit unusual, since the marriage took place in the same parish where Sabina was baptized.

The Birth and Baptism of Sabina Niedziałkowska

Posted on October 13, 2006 by Steve

Sabina Niedziałkowska was my grand aunt. She was born on 13 October 1899 in Pomaski, Maków Powiat, Łomża Gubernia, Congress Kingdom of Poland, the daughter of Teofil Niedziałkowski and Kszwera Zygmuntowicz. She was baptized on 15 October 1899 in the Roman Catholic Church in Szwelice, Maków Powiat, Łomża Gubernia, Congress Kingdom of Poland.

Birth and Baptismal Record for Sabina Niedziałkowska – 1899

Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Birth and Baptismal Record for Sabina Niedziałkowska – 1899.  Translated from the Russian, the record states:

â„– 85 .  Pomaski

This happened in the village of Szwelice on the 3rd / 15th day of October 1899 at one o’clock in the afternoon .  Teofil Niedziałkowski appeared in person, residing in Pomaski with his father, owner of the noble part [of the village], age 38, in the presence of Piotr Napierkowski, age 50, and Andrzej Bonacki, age 34, owner of the noble part [of the village] residing in Pomoski and he presented to us a child of the female sex, stating that it was born in Pomoski on the 1st / 13th day of October of the current year, at nine o’clock in the evening of his lawful wife Ksawery born Zygmuntowicz, age 28.  At Holy Baptism performed on this date by Father Władysław Sędzicki, Assistant Pastor of this place, this child was given the name of Sabina, and her godparents were Felix Pomaski and Marianna his wife .  This document was read to the declarant and the illiterate witnesses, and signed by us alone –

M. d. Administrator of the parish of Szwelice, Assistant Pastor, Keeper of the Documents of the Civil State – Father Sędzicki

I figured out a few more of the words that have been giving me trouble in these documents.  I’ll have to go back to some of the previous records and fill in the missing pieces.

The document states that Teofil is an owner of the noble part (of the village).  The godparents of his child are members of the Pomoski family – the noblemen after whom the village was named.

Notice that this record also includes a note in the margin.  More about that marginal notation tomorrow.

Marginal Notations

Posted on October 12, 2006 by Steve

Marginal notations on Polish Church Records were made for a number of reasons including:

  • Correction of errors
  • Legitimization of out-of-wedlock births
  • Adoptions
  • Records of marriage
  • Records of death

The parish records were maintained according to a fairly strict set of rules which included the content of the record, the language in which the record was to be maintained, and prohibitions against erasing entries .  If the registrar noticed an error in the entry, he made a notation in the margin and marked both the error in the text and the marginal entry with either a forwards or backwards “F”.  An example of this type of marginal entry was noted in the Birth and Baptismal Record for Jan Markiewicz.

The Birth and Baptismal Record of Józef Niedziałkowski included two marginal notations.

Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Marginal Marriage Notations for Józef Niedziałkowski.  The marginal entries, translated from the Polish (although the original document is written in Russian) state:

Józef Niedziałkowski contracted a marital union with the widow Józefa Kołakowska from Pomaski in Szelków on the 28th of January 1928
Pastor of Szwelice, The Reverend Godlewski

Józef Niedziałkowski, a widower, contracted a marital union in Szelków on the 12th of July 1934 with Anastazja Chełchowska
I testify, Pastor of Szwelice, Reverend S. Chełmiński

My grandfather’s brother, Józef, was married twice, once to a widow, and then after this wife’s death, Józef married again.  Both times, the marriage took place in Szelków, not in Szwelice where Józef was born.

Changes at Ancestry.com

Posted on October 9, 2006 by Steve

Barbara Poole sent me a link to an article discussing recent changes at Ancestry.com (a division of MyFamily.com) .  I notice that online dating comes up a lot in recent articles about Ancestry.com, but that’s not surprising since Tim Sullivan, the (relatively) new chief executive at MyFamily.com is a refugee from the online dating industry.

“Ancestry.com is accustomed to competing with public institutions that give away genealogy information for which it charges. LibertyEllisFoundation.org gives away data about immigrant ship manifests to help raise awareness about Ellis Island, while FamilySearch.org, which is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, gives away census data at least partly to help its members who would like to baptize ancestors into the church.

Mr. Sullivan of Ancestry.com said the company would offer DNA searching in the near future, and would compete with the Sorenson database as it does with the other free sites — by surrounding its own version of the service with a broader range of features.” …read more

In preparing this genealogy report, I noticed something that I had not noticed before .  My great uncle Józef Niedziałkowski was married twice, and both times the marriages took place in Trelkowo .  I had thought that Trelkowo was near Pomoski where Józef was born .  To my surprise, when I checked out the location on a map, Trelkowo was located in Prussia, not the Kingdom of Poland .  I’ll have to check this new revelation out, since this is the first relative I’ve found with connections to Prussia.

I also wanted to make note of the fact that my original post on the Death of Michał Markiewicz included the wrong image from the parish records .  I inadvertently included the image for the death of Wawrzyniec Markiewicz instead .  I have corrected the error, and I have posted the correct image with the article and on the PDF file associated with the article .  I’ve also made some edits to that post and to the posts on the Death of Jan Markiewicz and the Death of Wawrzyniec Markiewicz.

The Death of Wawrzyniec Markiewicz

Posted on October 6, 2006 by Steve

The last of the records for the Markiewicz family that I found in the Piotrawin Parish Records at the Family History Center was for the death of Wawrzyniec (Lawrence) Markiewicz, the infant son of Tomasz Markiewicz and Franciszka Piątkowa .  With this death, all three children of Tomasz and Franciszka had died, and the last two died within a month of each other.

Death Record for Wawrzyniec Markiewicz - 1892

Death Record for Wawrzyniec Markiewicz – 1892

Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Death Record for Wawrzyniec Markiewicz – 1892 .  The record, translated from the Russian, reads as follows:

42 .  Braciejowice – Markiewicz Wawrzyniec

This happened in the village of Piotrawin on the 9th / 21st day of April 1892 at eleven o’clock in the morning .  Tomasz Markiewicz, age 33, the father of the child, and Stanisław Jakubczyk, age 26, house owners in the village of Braciejowice, appeared and stated that on the 7th / 19th day of April of this year at twelve o’clock in the afternoon, Wawrzyniec Markiewicz died in the same Braciejowice at the age of 9 months old, having been born and lived there, son of the aforementioned married couple Tomasz and Franciszka Piątkowa – after eyewitness testimony on the death of Wawrzyniec Markiewicz.

This document was read to the declarants who are illiterate, and signed by us.

An interesting point in this record is that the age of Tomasz Markiewicz is 33 .  In the Death Record for Jan Markiewicz, recorded the previous month, Tomasz was 32 .  This observation allows the hypothesis that Tomasz was born in March or April 1859 .  How does this date agree with all the other information on the birthdate of Tomasz Markiewicz?

Feb 27, 1889 – Birth of Jan – Tomasz age 30 – (born 1858-1859)
July 22, 1890 – Birth of Michał – Tomasz age 31 (born 1858-1859)
Aug 20, 1890 – Death of Michał – Tomasz age 31 (born 1858-1859)
Jul 28, 1891 – Birth of Wawrzyniec – Tomasz age 32 (born 1859-1860)
Mar 26, 1892 – Death of Jan – Tomasz age 32 (born 1859-1860)
Apr 21, 1892 – Death of Wawrzyniec – Tomasz age 33 (born 1858-1859)
Apr 19, 1893 – Birth of Stanisław – Tomasz age 35 (born 1857-1858)
Dec 25, 1894 – Birth of Antoni – Tomasz age 37 (born 1856-1857)

The first six events are all consistent with the hypothesis that Tomasz was born in 1859 .  The last two events suggest Tomasz was born in 1857-1858 and 1856-1859 .  Tomasz seems to have aged two years between 1892 and 1893, and another two years between 1893 and 1894!  The Birth Records for Jan and Wawrzyniec are not consistent with a birthdate in March or April 1859, although they are consistent with a birthdate in 1859.

A conservative estimate is that Tomasz was born between December 26, 1856 and July 28, 1860 .  Ignoring the two outlying dates, a more liberal estimate is that Tomasz was born between February 28, 1858 and July 28, 1860 .  So, even though the Death Records for Michał, Jan, and Wawrzyniec suggest a birth in March or April 1859, the Birth Records for all five sons indicate that a wider range should be considered.

The Death of Jan Markiewicz

Posted on October 5, 2006 by Steve

The second Markiewicz death record I found at the Family History Center was that for Jan (John) Markiewicz, the infant son of Tomasz Markiewicz and Franciszka Piątkowa.

Death Record of Jan Markiewicz

The Death Record of Jan Markiewicz

Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Death Record for Jan Markiewicz – 1892 .  Translated from the Russian, the record reads:

32 .  Braciejowice – Markiewicz Jan

This happened in the village of Piotrawin on the 14th / 26th day of March 1892 at seven o’clock after midnight .  Tomasz Markiewicz, age 32, the father of the child, and Franciszek Turski, age 51, house owners in the village of Braciejowice, appeared and stated that on the 12th / 24th day of March of this year at 7 o’clock after midnight, Jan Markiewicz died in Braciejowice at the age of 3 years old, having been born and lived there, son of the aforementioned married couple Tomasz and Franciszka Piątkowa – after eyewitness testimony on the death of Jan Markiewicz.

Jan was born on February 27, 1889 . Â Jan’s death record correctly shows that he was three years old when he died on March 24, 1892.

Comparing this record with the Death Record of Michał Markiewicz who died on August 18, 1890, some additional information about the birth date of Tomasz Markiewicz can be deduced .  Tomasz was 31 years old on August 20, 1890 and 32 years old on March 26, 1892 .  Since Tomasz only recorded one birthday between these two dates, Tomasz must have been born between March 1859 and August 1859.

Unfortunately, the ages recorded in these Church Records are not always accurate .  A case in point is the fact that Franciszek Turski was 52 years old in Michaeł’s Death Record 1890, but only 51 years old in Jan’s Death Record in 1892.

The Death of Michał Markiewicz

Posted on October 4, 2006 by Steve

I had previously found the 1890 Birth and Baptismal Record for Michał (Michael) Markiewicz, the son of Tomasz Markiewicz and Franciszka Piątkowa while searching Polish Parish Records at my local Family History Center .  I had also found an entry in the Death Index for the same parish that showed that a Michał Markiewicz died in 1890 .  The question is, are these two records for the same person?  Did Michał Markiewicz die the same year in which he was born?

Death Record for Michał Markiewicz - 1890

Death Record for Michał Markiewicz – 1890

Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Death Record for Michał Markiewicz – 1890 .  Translated from the Russian, the record reads:

111 .  Braciejowice – Markiewicz Michał

This happened in the village of Piotrawin on the 8th / 20th day of August 1890 at eleven o’clock in the morning .  Tomasz Markiewicz, age 31, the  father of the child, and Franciszek Turski, age 52, house owners in the village of Braciejowice, appeared and stated that on the 6th / 18th day of August of this year at 6 o’clock in the evening Michał Markiewicz died in Braciejowice, having been born and lived there for two weeks, son of the aforementioned married couple Tomasz and Franciszka Piątkowa – after eyewitness testimony on the death of Michał Markiewicz.

The death record does, indeed, record the death of the infant recently born to Tomasz Markiewicz and Franciszka Piątkowa.

As with other documents from the Kingdom of Poland (the Russian Partition of Poland), the dates are recorded according to both the Julian Calendar and the Gregorian Calendar .  In 1890, when this document was written, the two calendars differed by 12 days .  Since we use the Gregorian Calendar (the more accurate calendar), the correct date of death is the later date: August 18, 1890.

Franciszek Turski appears in many records for the Markiewicz family, including the Births and Baptisms of Jan, Michał, and Stanisław Markiewicz .  It’s possible that Franciszek Turski was a neighbor or relative of the Markiewicz family.

One final note about the surname Markiewicz .  In many of these records, the name appears to be written as Markowicz, rather than Markiewicz .  At this point, it’s not clear if this was just an issue with transliteration of the name into Russian, or if the correct spelling is actually Markowicz.
