10 Mosaki Rukle:<\/span><\/p>\n

In the same year as above [the year of the Lord 1761<\/span>], on the 8th of March I, Jan Gawlenski, Canon Regular of the Laterans, baptized an infant with the name Jan, son of the Nobles Andrzej Chotkowski and his legal wife Marianna. The Godparents in the Sacred Font were the Noble Maciej Milewski and the Noble Katarzyna Grochowska.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jan Chodkowski was the brother of my fourth great grandmother, Cecylia Chodkowska, making him my fourth great granduncle. Most of the records I have seen for the family spells the surname Chotkowski. However, Polish genealogist Adam Pszcz\u00f3\u0142kowski who wrote the seminal work on the family, spells the name Chodkowski. This spelling is probably a reflection of the fact that, today, most descendants of the family spell their surname with a “d” rather than with the traditional “t”.<\/p>\n

From a practical point of view, the “d” and “t” are somewhat interchangeable. The pronunciations of Chotkowski and Chodkowski are very similar.<\/p>\n

For those reasons, I have chosen to spell the surname as Chodkowski in my own database.<\/p>\n
