Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Baptismal Record for\u00c2\u00a0J\u00f3zef Niedzia\u0142kowski<\/a> .\u00a0 Translated from the Latin, the record states:<\/p>\n Page 202<\/p>\n 39 Mosaki Godacze, the 5th Day of July in the Year 1801<\/p>\n I, Andrzej Roman, Canon Regular of the Laterans,\u00a0baptized an infant by the name of J\u00f3zef born on [illegible] day, the son of the Noble Tomasz and Cecylia n\u00e9e Chotkowska Niedzia\u0142kowska, a lawfully married couple .\u00a0 The Godparents in the Sacred Font were the Noble Augustyn Obydzie\u0144ski and Ma\u0142gorzata Kierzkowska.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n As compared to the Baptismal Records for the children previously born to Cecylia Chodkowska and Tomasz Niedzia\u0142kowski, this record apparently has a reference to the actual date of birth .\u00a0 The word after “natum die” may tell when J\u00f3zef was born .\u00a0 Unfortunately, I can’t tell what that word is .\u00a0 The only thing I’m relatively sure of is that the word is not “hodie” meaning “today”.<\/p>\n Notice, too, that the priest referred to Tomasz and Cecylia as “Noble” .\u00a0 This probably doesn’t mean that they had any high status\u00c2\u00a0in Poland, but rather that they owned land in the village .\u00a0 They probably belonged to the “lesser nobility”.<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2006 by Stephen J.
