Despite my best intentions not to get involved in any new projects, I’ve to index the records of the parish of St. John the Baptist in Krasne, Poland.<\/p>\n
I began these efforts after reading about the Z\u0142ot\u00f3w parish records indexing project that Al of the Polish-American Genealogy Research<\/a> blog started.<\/p>\n As another impetus, I discovered that many of the early Krasne parish records do not include the indexes usually included at the end of each year’s records, forcing me to examine each record individually.<\/p>\n The earliest records for Krasne that have been microfilmed by the Family History Library are the parish record books from 1657 .\u00a0Beginning in 1808, the microfilmed records are\u00c2\u00a0of the civil transcripts.<\/p>\n On Saturday, I began to index the birth\/baptismal records from 1808. I completed the index for the first 45 records. The surnames represented in these records are Boiarski, Che\u0142chowski, Chotkowski, Go\u0142\u0105b, Intczak, Jakiebowski, Jakubiak, J\u0119drasik, Jegli\u0144ski, Kaoprzak, Kieszak, \u0141yszkowski, Maculak, Malinowski, Mieszkowski, Milewski, Mosakowski, Mularczyk, Niedzia\u0142kowski, Obiczi\u0144ski, Piotrak, Pukrowski, Smurlika, Sobiesiak, St\u0119pnowski, Suski, Szarlik, Trzaska, Wudzi\u0144ski, Zaleski, Zarodkiewicz, Zbikowski, and Zbyszy\u0144ski.<\/p>\n These births occurred in the villages of Kozino, Krasne, Milewo Brzeg\u0119dy, Milewo Gawary, Milewo Saweyki, Mosaki Godacze, Mosaki Rukle, Mosaki Stara wie\u015b, Slasy \u0141ozyno, Szczuki, Zalesie, Zbiki Antosy, Zbiki Filipy, Zbiki Gawronki, Zbiki Pa\u0144skie, and Zbiki Starki.<\/p>\n The surnames I know are in my own family history include Chotkowski, Milewski, and Niedzia\u0142kowski. The villages in which my ancestors\u00c2\u00a0resided include Mosaki Godacze, Mosaki Rukle, and Mosaki Stara wie\u015b.<\/p>\n Initially, I’ve decided to include the following information in the index:\u00a0 Surname, Given Name, Father’s First Name, Father’s Age, Mother’s Maiden Name, Mother’s First Name, Mother’s Age, Date of Birth, Place of Birth, House Number, Date of Baptism, Parish, FHL Film Number, Item Number, and Page.<\/p>\n I’m not including Occupations, Names of Godparents, Name of Priest, Information About Witnesses, or other information in the records.<\/p>\n I expect to finish the index for births\/baptisms in 1808 this week.<\/p>\n Thanks, Al, for the inspiration to start this project!<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2008 by Stephen J.
