Now that I’ve found that my Niedzia\u0142kowski ancestors lived in the village of Klonowo in the 18th century, I’ve begun to find out what I can about the village.

The first of these major entries includes descriptions of six different villages, the fifth of which is the correct entry for my ancestors’ village.<\/p>\n

Entry number 5 doesn’t say much, but it shows that Klonowo was a very small village, with only 8 houses and 72 inhabitants. A quick calculation shows that each house sheltered an average of 9 residents.<\/p>\n

Importantly, this entry confirms that Klonowo belonged to the parish in Pa\u0142uki, in agreement with the marriage record for my ancestors Tomasz Niedzia\u0142kowski and Cecylia Chotkowska.<\/p>\n

Now, I just need to find some time to order the microfilms at my local Family History Center and search for my Niedzia\u0142kowski ancestors.<\/p>\n
