Back in December I wrote about the marriage<\/a> of my fourth great-grandparents, Tomasz Niedzia\u0142kowski and Cecylia Chotkowska in Krasne, Poland. The marriage record stated the name of the village and parish where Tomasz lived before his marriage, but at the time I couldn’t find these places on a map.<\/p>\n

Agnieszka, who is from the region of Krasne, corrected the spelling of the name of the parish, and from there I was able to find the parish and village on the Military Maps of the Austrian Empire<\/a>. The name of the village from which Tomasz came was Klonowo and the name of the parish was Pa\u0142uki. These two villages are shown on the map below, which is a portion of one of the Military Maps of the Austrian Empire.<\/p>\n

I checked the Family History Library Catalog for records from the parish of Pa\u0142uki and was pleasantly surprised to find the following entries:<\/p>\n

Wow! These records go back all the way to 1658, a century and a half before most church records were kept in Poland! Based on his age at the time of his marriage in 1785, Tomasz Niedzia\u0142kowski was born in about 1754, so these records\u00c2\u00a0potentially include three or four generations before the birth of my 4th great-grandfather.<\/p>\n

One difficulty here is that these older records tend to include very little information. As long as the names of the parents are listed, I should be able to trace this line back farther in time. My previous experience with Polish records from this time period is that the maiden name of the mother is often not listed in the baptismal records, and the handwriting is difficult to read.<\/p>\n

Still, I have great hopes these records will help me trace my Niedzia\u0142kowski line back a few more generations.<\/p>\n
