Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Birth and Baptismal Record of Tekla Milewska<\/a>. Translated from the Latin, the record states:<\/p>\n Mal\u0105ki<\/p>\n On the 27th of January, I named above baptized an infant with the name Tekla born on the 26th of this same month, daughter of the nobles Wojciech Milewski and Anna, legally married. The Godparents were the noble B\u0142a\u017cej Che\u0142chowski and the noble Bogumi\u0142a Milewska, both from Mal\u0105ki.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n As with many of the church records from this time period in Poland, the researcher must examine preceding records to discover that the child was baptized in 1791 by L. Rygalski, V.E.K., since the year and the name of the priest are not expressly stated in the document. The V.E.K. following the priest’s name stands for “Vicarius ecclesiae Karniewis” meaning “Vicar of the Church in Karniewo”.<\/p>\n Tekla was born between the first (1772) and second (1793) partitions of Poland. The area in which she was born remained in the Polish-Lithuania Commonwealth until the third partition in 1795.<\/p>\n Although the priest wrote the name of the village where Telka was born as “Mal\u0105ki”, most documents spell the name as “Malonki” .\u00a0In any case, both\u00c2\u00a0spellings\u00c2\u00a0are pronounced in\u00c2\u00a0the same way. In the S\u0142ownik Geograficzny Kr\u00f3lestwa Polskiego<\/em>, the village was listed as Milewo-malonki.<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2008 by Stephen J.
