Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Birth and Baptismal Record for Stanis\u0142aw Markiewicz – 1893<\/a> .\u00a0 The record states:<\/p>\n 64 .\u00a0 Braciejowice – Markiewicz Stanis\u0142aw<\/strong><\/p>\n This happened in the village of Piotrawin on the 7th\/19th day of April 1893 at four in the afternoon .\u00a0 Tomasz Markiewicz appeared in person, age 35, the owner of a house in the village of Braciejowice, in the presence of Maciej Zagozdon from the village of Grabwiec, age 36, and Franciszek Turski, from the village of Braciejowice, age 56, the owner of a house – and he presented to us a child of the male sex, stating that it was born in the village of Braciejowice on the 6th\/18th of April of this year, at 6 o’clock after midnight of his lawful wife Franciszka nee Piontkowa, age 28 .\u00a0 To this child at Holy Baptism performed on this date was given the name of Stanis\u0142aw, and his godparents were the above-mentioned Maciej Zagozdon and Zofia Pietrasowa .\u00a0 This document was read to the declarant father and to the witnesses, all of whom are illiterate, and signed by us.<\/p>\n Rev. C. Trembi\u0144ski, pastor of the Piotrawin Parish, keeper of the documents of the civil state<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The information I already had on Stanis\u0142aw indicated that he was born either on April 23, 1891 or April 20, 1892 in Braciejowice and that his father’s name was Tomasz Markiewicz.<\/p>\n The Birth and Baptismal Record shows that he was actually born at 6 AM on Tuesday, April 18, 1893 in Braciejowice, baptized at 4 PM on Wednesday, April 19, 1893 in Piotrawin, his father was Tomasz Markiewicz, his mother was Franciszka Piontkowa, his godparents were Maciej Zagozdon and Zofia Pietrasowa, and he was baptized by the Rev. C. Trembi\u0144ski.<\/p>\n Stanis\u0142aw was the 64th child baptized in Piotrawin in 1893 .\u00a0 You’ll notice that two dates are given for his birth and baptism .\u00a0 The earlier date is based on the Julian Calendar and the later date is based on the Gregorian Calendar .\u00a0 The Gregorian Calendar is the one we use today, but the Julian Calendar was still the official calendar used in Russia at the time of this baptism.<\/p>\n Some cautions about the transcription and translation:\u00a0I might not have spelled\u00c2\u00a0all of the surnames\u00c2\u00a0correctly, since the Polish names were translated into Russian and I translated them back into Polish .\u00a0 Also, I might not have correctly spelled the name of\u00c2\u00a0the village Grabwiec mentioned in the document;\u00c2\u00a0I have not found this village on a map .\u00a0 Further, the surnames of the women are the feminized versions of the surnames .\u00a0 The actual surname of Stanis\u0142aw’s mother might actually be Pi\u0105tek or Pi\u0119tek and the surname of his godmother might actually be Pietras.<\/p>\n This is the first of the Markiewicz family records that I found .\u00a0 I think I’ve found a few others, and I still have a couple of weeks left to view the microfilms before they’re sent back to Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2006 by Stephen J.
