I’ve previously written about my cousin Rita Meleski, her husband Bernard Izbicki, and her father-in-law, Boles\u0142aw Dominick Izbicki, all of whom lived in Worcester, Massachusetts. Boles\u0142aw was the immigrant ancestor of this family, and when he came to America, he left his parents, Dominik Izbicki and J\u00f3zefata Marianna Bizewska behind in Piertanie, Poland. Dominik was born in 1848. His Birth and Baptismal Record was recorded in the Book of Births in the Parish of Wigry.<\/p>\n

I obtained this record while I was at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City last weekend. The library has birth, marriage, and death records from the Wigry parish from 1808 to 1882. Now that I’ve confirmed that the records for the correct family are on these microfilms, I can order the films to my local Family History Center and continue my research on this family without the need to travel to Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
