My thanks to Grazyna and Andrzej for this information; every little piece helps to make the big picture!

I continue with my search to find the military record for Jan and also maybe where he was born.

Thank you!! Jillian

M.Maziarski - dziękuję Panu bardzo za wszystkie informacje o rodzinie Bellitzay w Jaśle - ogromnie cenie Pana wiedze i zyczliwosc.

Napisal Pan, ze wg. innych źródel: Jan Belitzay w 1824 miał 42 lata, był synem Jana i Katarzyny Czy może mi Pan powiedzieć coś więcej o tym? Jakie wydarzenie miało ...

Thank you for these Bellitzay's - can you just confirm if you are transcribing the books for Dolina or Spas - or maybe both?

Jillian

Thank you so much for all the information about the Bellitzay family, particularly in Jaslo - it really is appreciated.

M.Maziarski - you write - ( z innych źródeł :Jan Belitzay w 1824 miał 42 lata,był synem Jana iKatarzyny)

Can you tell me what the event was in 1824 when Jan's age was given as ...

I think that perhaps I have seen the link between Bellitzay and Jaslo.

There was an Albina Bellitzay born in Jaslo in 1833. I think that this could be the same girl who has ...

Thank you everyone!

Ewa I looked at the Military Personnel page and can only read one word - Bellitzay! The handwriting is dreadful - how do you manage to understand anything!

But I also can find Bellitzay's. - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9RQ3-J8D?i=37&wc=QVZB-7F9 ...

First there is good news with all the info. then there is bad news - perhaps no Bellitzay's in Brzezany before early 1840's; maybe the Bellitzay's in Jaslo are mine. Thank you everyone for helping me to find out so much about Pawel's family, he is now not just a name but is coming to 'life'! Best ...

Again - my "thank you" to everyone for your help! I think that all these will be my family but until I can find Pawel's baptism record I cannot be certain. Ewa - this is exactly what I am thinking!

Michael born in 1854 was son of Ermologius & Maria Heck; his parents were Joannes and Catharina ...

I would just like to thank everyone on this forum who has taken the time to help me try and find the family of Pawel.

As you will have guessed I do not read, speak or understand Polish so everything happens very slow as I need to use the internet to translate every page and document. But I will get ...

Hello Krystyna,

I have done some research for you and have Constantine & Sarah marriage certificate, census for 1861-1871-1881 in England and Emma in US. Would you like copies?

Jillian

Krystyna!!

You are wonderful - so much information, I will enjoy reading everything. Yes, the Arpia was the name of the ship. I have English newspaper reports of the ship's arrival in Liverpool. If you would like to have copies just send me your email address and you're more than welcome. Also, if ...

Thank you Krystyna - your information is very useful to me. I understand that these men sailed on the Arpia from Constantinople (Istanbul) arriving in Liverpool, England 5th March, 1851 - one day later than expected. Szumla seems to be a very long way from Istanbul - I think that they were held in a ...

Witaj!

Thank you so much for this information. I would really like to see more! My email address is:

Jillian

Thank you for your reply, it is much appreciated; do you know where "Szumla" is located? I cannot find it on any current maps. I believe that he boarded the SS Arpia in Constantinople (Istanbul) with other Polish refugees on 22nd January, 1851.

I have fully researched Pawel since his arrival in ...
