C. Trembi\u0144ski, pastor of the Piotrawin Parish &#8211; Keeper of the documents of the civil state<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">An interesting point in this record is that the age of Tomasz Markiewicz is 33 .\u00a0 In the Death Record for Jan Markiewicz, recorded the previous month, Tomasz was 32 .\u00a0 This observation allows the hypothesis that Tomasz was born in March or April 1859 .\u00a0 How does this date agree with all the other information on the birthdate of Tomasz Markiewicz?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Feb 27, 1889 &#8211; Birth of Jan &#8211; Tomasz age 30 &#8211; (born 1858-1859)<br \/>\nJuly 22, 1890 &#8211; Birth of Micha\u0142 &#8211; Tomasz age 31 (born 1858-1859)<br \/>\nAug 20, 1890 &#8211; Death of Micha\u0142 &#8211; Tomasz age 31 (born 1858-1859)<br \/>\nJul 28, 1891 &#8211; Birth of Wawrzyniec &#8211; Tomasz age 32 (born 1859-1860)<br \/>\nMar 26, 1892 &#8211; Death of Jan &#8211; Tomasz age 32 (born 1859-1860)<br \/>\nApr 21, 1892 &#8211; Death of Wawrzyniec &#8211; Tomasz age 33 (born 1858-1859)<br \/>\nApr 19, 1893 &#8211; Birth of Stanis\u0142aw &#8211; Tomasz age 35 (born 1857-1858)<br \/>\nDec 25, 1894 &#8211; Birth of Antoni &#8211; Tomasz age 37 (born 1856-1857)<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The first six events are all consistent with the hypothesis that Tomasz was born in 1859 .\u00a0 The last two events suggest Tomasz was born in 1857-1858 and 1856-1859 .\u00a0 Tomasz seems to have aged two years between 1892 and 1893, and another two years between 1893 and 1894!\u00c2\u00a0 The Birth Records for Jan and Wawrzyniec are not consistent with a birthdate in March or April 1859, although they are consistent with a birthdate in 1859.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">A conservative estimate is that Tomasz was born between December 26, 1856 and July 28, 1860 .\u00a0 Ignoring the two outlying dates, a more liberal estimate is that Tomasz was born between February 28, 1858 and July 28, 1860 .\u00a0 So, even though the Death Records for Micha\u0142, Jan, and Wawrzyniec suggest a birth in March or April 1859, the Birth Records for all five sons indicate that a wider range should be considered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"left\">Copyright \u00a9 2006 by Stephen J.
