Posted on July 24, 2010 by Steve

The village of Wielodróz is significant in my family history because it was the location where Katarzyna Mossakowska, the wife of my cousin Aleksander Chodkowski was born.

Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Słownik Geograficzny entry for Wielodróz. Translated from the Polish, the entry reads:

Wielodróz,a village and grange [large manorial farmstead] on the river Węgierka, Przasnysz Powiat, Karwacz Gmina, and Bogate Parish, 10 versts [0.66 miles per verst] from Prazasnysz. It has a windmill, 28 homes, 300 residents, 518 morgs [in the Russian partition 1 morg = 1.388 acres]. In the year 187, the Wielodróz grange had 134 morgs of territory (85 morgs of soil). In the year 1827 there were 20 homes and 98 residents. According to the Notary Public for the Ciechanów-Przasnysz Powiats, the village of Wielodróz in the Bogate Parish had 5 parts per ½ włóka [1 włóka = about 30 morgs], man. 2 and 3, 1 włóka; 3 gardens, 2 ½ włóki; 1 garden, 1 włóka; 2 parts per ½ włóka. (Pawiński, Mazowsze, 347).

The notation (Pawiński, Mazowsze, 347) refers to:

The maps of the Third Military Mapping Survey of Austria-Hungary and the entries in the Słownik Geograficzny were prepared at about the same time and make a good pair for studying places in and around the Congress Kingdom of Poland at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, a time period when the Eastern European ancestors of present-day Americans left their homelands for the United States.

     [signed] The Reverend Bączkowski, Vicar of the Parish of Krasne

Paulina née Bartołd Chodkowska was the widow of my 1st cousin 5X removed, Mateusz Chodkowski.

The Reverend Bączkowski made an error in this record when he wrote that there were three banns of marriage. He corrected the error in the margin by writing “one testimony” and then signing his name. This record is fairly unique in that the couple were required to obtain two dispensations from the court in Biskupice. I assume the two dispensations wer obtained to compensate for the fact that only one bann was read instead of three.
