My great-great-great-great grandparents, Tomasz Niedzia\u0142kowski and Cecylia Chotkowsa were married in 1785 in the Church in Krasne, Poland .\u00a0 Theirs was the 20th marriage in Krasne that year.<\/p>\n

20. Mosaki Rukle, the 15th day of November 1785<\/p>\n

I, Jan Napierkowski CRL pastor of Krasne: a Marriage Contract between the Nobles Tomasz Niedzia\u0142kowski, an unmarried man from the village of K\u0142onowo of the Pa\u0142uki Parish, and Cecylia Chotkowska, an unmarried girl from the village of Mosaki Rukle of the Krasne Parish, immediately following the presentation of three banns before the people to the divine audience of the congregation made in the Krasne Parish Church as well as in the Pa\u0142uki Parish Church in order that no testimony shown on either part stands as an impediment being free in appearance the Church confirms and blesses .\u00a0 The witnesses present were the noble Adam \u0141yczkowski, the noble Stanis\u0142aw Milewski, and the noble Wiktor Chrzanowski, and a number of others.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of particular interest is the fact that Tomasz Niedzia\u0142kowski was from a different parish, explaining why I could not find earlier records for the Niedzia\u0142kowskis in the Krasne Parish.<\/p>\n

UPDATE (24 June 2007): Thanks to an email from Agnieszka, the correct spelling of Tomasz Niedzia\u0142kowski’s parish is Pa\u0142uki. The Family History Library has microfilmed records from this parish from 1658-1904, opening up a whole new set of records for me to search! I have now found both the village of Klonowo and the parish of Pa\u0142uki on a map.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The name of the month is shown as 9bris, an abbreviation referring to November .\u00a0 While one might expect that the 9th month should be September, the number\u00c2\u00a0nine refers to the Latin word for nine – novem, and the fact that November was once the ninth month of the year .\u00a0 In fact, the last four months of the year take their names from the Latin numbers seven through ten:<\/p>\n

\n

September – septem – seven
\nOctober – octo – eight
\nNovember – novem – nine
\nDecember – decem – ten<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I had a bit of trouble translating this document .\u00a0 I suspect this is because my high school Latin is rusty, but it doesn’t help that I don’t have a proper Dictionary of Ecclesiastical Latin<\/a> (in case anyone is wondering what they should get me for Christmas).<\/p>\n
