Hi friends!

I recently came across this marriage record #11 - https://metryki.genealodzy.pl/metryka.php?ar=6&zs=0673d&sy=1891&kt=2&plik=10-11.jpg#zoom=1&x=1330&y=138 for my 2x great grandparents, Wawrznyiec Mieczkowski and Marianna Agrypina Brzoska.

I've been speaking to someone on Reddit who has ...

You are amazing! That is so helpful - thank you so much!!

Where is Wieniec? Ancestry is showing me three options - Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Malopolskie, or Warminkso-Mazurskie. Do you happen to know which one is correct?

This is only one side of my family... wait til we move on to the other ...

Oh, I missed that somehow. Could be. Do we know what year he and his wife were born?

Yes - thank you! Such a big day for information!! This so exciting!!!

Yes, I JUST found that!! Is there a way to see what his mother and Elzbieta's mother's maiden names were? I'm still not totally sure how to navigate this site yet, but it has so much information!!

Thank you!

Dori

Oh wow... the mystery deepens even further! Thanks for the very detailed instructions! I will definitely look into that!

And now I really want to do a DNA test to see if any Lithuanian shows up! My sister did one awhile back, so I'm checking with her to see what her results say. This forum truly ...

Cheers!

Thank you, Michal! Appreciate the map for reference as well! Very cool to see, as an American who has no sense of the geography!

Have a great day!

Hi Dorota,

I think I missed the link to Jan's birth record! Would you be able to repost that for me? That would be fantastic to have? I cannot express how very helpful this forum has been! I just wish I was able to translate everything myself!!

If there is ever anything I can research for anyone ...

Hi Dorota,

Thanks for your help! And sorry about the lack of sign-off - I grew up in the age of instant messaging and now I only really post on Reddit, where we don't bother with that, so apologies for the unintentional bad manners. I'm still learning the ins and outs of this forms. Everyone here ...

Well that would explain why Jan wasn't present at Jadwiga's birth... thank you!

This amazing - thank you all so much! Would any of you be willing to translate those documents for me (the marriage document and the birth record for Jadwiga)? I would be so grateful!!

Interesting... I've seen her maiden name potentially as Godonis, with a birth year of 1888, but I couldn't find anything to really substantiate that.

Since I'm unable to actually read Polish, could you tell me which page of the scans at that link actually shows that?

Thank you so much!!!

Hi! Thank you for explaining the surnames to me - that's helpful and I had no idea!

I am not sure where they got married. I'm assuming it was in Poland, because they came to the US with Mary, who was about 2 at the time, and they had the rest of the children in the US.

Where is the best place to ...

Hello! Apologies if my Polish translation is off - I'm using an online translator as I only speak English, but I was told that posting in Polish is easier for everyone here. :)

I am trying desperately to find my great-grandmother's mother's (my great-great grandmother's) maiden name and was told ...
