The priest wrote the mother’s maiden name, crossed it out, and then wrote her full name .  He noted the correction in the left margin of this record and signed the correction with his initials (FS) .  This is the first record I found that referred to a village with Dymki in the name .  The village of Piasutno Dymki was listed as Stanislaw Dymek’s place of birth on his World War II Draft Registration Card .  I don’t know if or how this Stanislaw Dymek is related to the Dymek’s in my family but perhaps I should try to find out who his parents were now that I’m reasonably certain I’m researching the records for his birth place.

One of the earliest known Dymek ancestors of my cousins was Józef Dymek, born in about 1863 in Dymki, Kolno, Łomża .  I think I have discovered the correct parish, Mały Płock, but the microfilmed records are few and far between .  I don’t know if this Józef Dymek is the correct person, but the microfilmed records are so few that I may need to hire a professional researcher in Poland to confirm .  I do, however, believe that Mały Płock is the correct parish because of the great number of people there with the surnames Dymek and Gołas and the fact that Piasutno (called Piasutno-Dymki in some records) is in the Mały Płock parish.
