My ancestors lived in a village south of \u0141a\u0144cut, but I doubt if they ever visited \u0141a\u0144cut .\u00a0 After my trip, I hired a professional genealogist to visit the church in Dubiecko, Poland to find the church records of my ancestors .\u00a0 By far, most of the records he delivered were birth and baptismal records .\u00a0 He also found some marriage records, but of the fifty-one records he delivered to me, only three were death records:\u00a0one for my great great grandfather, Pawe\u0142 Da\u0144ko, one for my great great great grandfather, Adalbert Da\u0144ko, and one for J\u00f3zef Da\u0144ko, who may\u00c2\u00a0have been\u00c2\u00a0my great great great great grandfather.<\/p>\n
The reason I am equivocating here is that the death record for J\u00f3zef contains very little information .\u00a0 However, J\u00f3zef’s death record does show that he was living in house number 161 when he died, and other records report\u00c2\u00a0that my third great grandfather, Adalbert Da\u0144ko,\u00a0lived in house number 161 after J\u00f3zef died .\u00a0 Other known relatives lived in house numbers 158 and 160 .\u00a0 This is weak evidence that J\u00f3zef was my fourth great grandfather, but he was probably related to my ancestors in some way.<\/p>\n The death record contains the following information:<\/p>\n The Death and Burial Record of J\u00f3zef Danko – 1787<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0is similar to other Church Records in Galicia:\u00a0 it was written in Latin and the information was written in a columnar format in books with preprinted pages .\u00a0 J\u00f3zef’s death record reports that:<\/p>\n The other death records I have are more recent records that include the name of the spouse of the deceased, the date of burial, the name of the officiating priest, and the occupation of the deceased .\u00a0 Since the earliest death records contain so little information, I may never be able to positively connect J\u00f3zef with my family.<\/p>\n Genealogical Trivia<\/strong><\/p>\n Approximate Numbers of Deaths due to:<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2006 by Stephen J.
