While in Salt Lake City, I searched for the records of children of my great-great-great-great grandparents, Tomasz Niedzia\u0142kowski and Cecilia Chotkowska who were married 15 November 1785 in the Krasne Parish.<\/p>\n

One Baptismal Record I found was for Walenty Niedzia\u0142kowski, born in 1796 in Mosaki Godacze .\u00a0 The record of his baptism is the fourth record on page 149\u00c2\u00a0of the Book of Baptisms of the Krasne Church 1781-1807.<\/p>\n

Click on the image to enlarge it Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Baptismal Record for Walenty Niedzia\u0142kowski<\/a> .\u00a0 Translated from the Latin, the record states:<\/p>\n

\n

Year 1796, Page 149<\/p>\n

12. Mosaki Godacze, the 17th day of the month of February<\/p>\n

I, Stanis\u0142aw Opolski, CSL, pastor of Krasne, baptized an infant by the name of Walenty, the son of Thomas and Cecilia n\u00e9e Chodkowska Niedzia\u0142kowski, a legally married couple .\u00a0 The Godparents in the font were the Nobleman Jan Puszczy\u0144ski and the Noblewoman Marianna Kierkowska of the Krasne Parish.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I had previously found the baptismal records for five children born to this couple, but the earliest of those occurred in 1801 .\u00a0 This birth in 1796 is much closer to the wedding date for the couple .\u00a0 Still, I would have expected a birth within the first two or three years of the marriage.<\/p>\n

Notice that no date of birth is provided .\u00a0 The date mentioned\u00c2\u00a0in this record is the date of baptism, but since most Polish infants were baptized within a day or two of their birth, the date of baptism is a good substitute for the date of birth.<\/p>\n
