Translation Help: Sas Family Records from Polish to English?

[jbaltrym]

After many months of search I believe I may have finally located several of my ancestors' birth records on this wonderful website. I would like to confirm that these are my ancestors but I do not speak or read Polish. Is someone able to provide me with a complete translation of any of the records I found?

Johanna Sas was my grandmother and I know she had a brother Josef and a sister Antonina and they all came to the US in the early 1900's. The birth dates here are the same years in records that I have for Johanna, Antonina and Josef. Their father's name was either Alexander (or Antoni) Sas or Sass; their mother was Katarzyna but I have no last name for her.

I'm not sure how to direct you to the actual documents I found here but below is what I found in "Mazowieckie" records who might possibly be my family:

Father: Alexsander Sas; Mother: Katarzyna Wierzchoń
Children:
Stanislaw Sas, born 1880, Pniewo Parish
Antonina Sas, born 1881, Pniewo Parish
Władysław Sas, 1883, Obryte Parish
Jan Sas, born 1885, Wyszków
Josef Sas, born 1888, WyszkówJoanna Sas, born 1890, Wyszków
Antoni Sas, born 1893, Lubiel Parish

The listing containing all these people is at:

Even if only one or two could be fully translated, Perhaps for Antonina and/or Johanna? I would be ever so grateful. Thank you so very much if anyone can assist me.

Hello
I've checked your records. I don't think it's in Polish. In that time there was no "official" Poland, we were parts of Russia, Austria and Prussia.
You need to wait for someone who has experience in reading such records.
Maybe someone can read this and translate to Polish? Than I could translate it to English. I'll ask in Polish

Witajcie!
Czy ktoś jest w stanie odczytać akty osób, które zostały wymienione w poście wyżej? Pani prosi o tłumaczenie na angielski. Jeśli potraficie to odczytać i przetłumaczyć na polski, to ja to chętnie przerzucę na angielski.
Osobiście mnie te akty pokonały
Pomóżmy!

Akty są pisane po rosyjsku. Proszę je wrzucić do wątku z prośbą o tłumaczenie z tego języka i nie trzeba będzie długo czekać.
Pozdrawiam Robert.

Dziękuję, Robert. Tak mi się wydawało, ale wolałam się upewnić
Zaraz to przerzucę

Jan, records are in Russian, we're going to ask people who knows Russian. I'll let you know as soon as I get any answer

Oh My Goodness! I am eternally grateful. Yes, I fully believe these are the records for my grandmother, her parents, siblings and other relatives. I am so excited! The birth dates I have for Joanna, Antonina and Josef are very close. There is only a few days of difference in each one of the records so this must be my relatives.

I still am a little confused about the location of these towns, villages and Parishes.
Can anyone provide me with their locations on a map of Poland? I am hoping to plan a trip to Poland and would very much like to know where I can visit the birthplaces and homes of my ancestors.

Now I must continue my search for more information on what happened to the rest of the family who stayed in Poland, their ancestors, marriages, children, and deaths.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU all so very much.
Warm regards,

[Robert1]

There is only a few days of difference in each one of the records so this must be my relatives.

Please note that there was a 12-day difference between Julian and Gregorian dates and both of them were used. Maybe this is the reason.

I still am a little confused about the location of these towns, villages and Parishes.
Can anyone provide me with their locations on a map of Poland? I am hoping to plan a trip to Poland and would very much like to know where I can visit the birthplaces and homes of my ancestors.

This should help you:

Asiu i Robercie,

nasunęła mi się taka myśl, czy w metryce z Lubiela, gdzie Sas jest już ekonomem, nie byłby właściwszy termin steward (man who manages another`s property or estate) zamiast economist? Jan może nie orientować się w stosunkach pracy na wsi w XIX w.

I jeszcze do karbowego (grooved) , dodałabym wyjaśnienie -overseer of farm labourers. Polska nazwa pewnie pochodzi od karbowania pleców chłopom, ale nie jestem pewna tej po angielsku


Pozdrawiam,
Monika

Monika suggested that we should change "an economist" into "a steward", because it more relates to your grandgrandfather duties (managing other's property or estate). It wasn't job like modern economist
She also gave an explenation of a grooved - overseer of farm labourers.
I agree with Monika, maybe Robert can explain more
I'm still learning about genealogy and I haven't used English for a long time so forgive me for language mistakes

Monika, Robert and others....this is beyond my wildest expectations. I cannot believe how much information I have found on this website but it would mean nothing to me without your diligent research and translation abilities. You folks are miracle workers!

Regarding the slight discrepancies in the birth dates that I mentioned in an earlier post, I don't believe it has much to do with the different calendars, but perhaps errors that were made by the parents or others when telling them what their birth dates actually were. For instance:

ANTONINA SAS: My records list her birth date as 13 December 1881. Your translation shows her dates as 18 December 1881 (6 December in the Julian Calendar). It could be that Antonina herself or someone else in her family, misread the 18 as a 13. She passed away here in 1947. Nevertheless, I am confident this is my Grand Aunt. Her daughter, Regina, now in her 80's, as well as Regina's daughter are still alive and living here in the states. They will be thrilled to have this information as well.

JOANNA SAS: My grandmother's birth date on my records list her birth date as 25 June 1890 , which is exactly the same in the records you provided!

JOSEF SAS: My records list his birth date as 20 March 1888, and your translation shows his birth date as 31 March 1888. Again I have no doubt that this is my Uncle. He passed away in 1974.

STANISLAW SAS: I have no specific information on him other than an approximate year of birth as 1880. This is only based on the Ship Manifest when he came to the US in 1906 and I cannot verify any other records for him here in the States. As you know, the ship manifest information is not always accurate and I rely on other records for verification. But with this new information I believe I will be able to find more.

I never knew my grandmother had several other siblings. I've hit the jackpot! Unfortunately I never knew my dear grandmother as she died in 1941 several years before I was born.

I'm also thankful for the map showing the locations of the cities, towns and villages where they all came from. It is wonderful to know and heartwarming that they all stayed in the same general vicinity. With the exception of course of the ones who came to the States.

I have another mystery to solve regarding Alexander Sas, my great grandfather:

The 1906 Ship Manifest where Joanna and Stanislaw came to the US, also lists that Alexander, their father, came with them. He indicated his age as 48 (approximate birth date 1857) and that he was married. They said they were coming to the US to join their son and brother, Josef (who came in 1904). I can find absolutely NO other information on Alexander here in the States. Josef, Antonina and Joanna all settled in the Detroit, Michigan area. I am thinking that perhaps Alexander came here with his son and daughter on that ship but then returned to Poland. It is also very interesting to see that his wife Katharyzna passed away in 1907 in Poland just several months after he came to the States. I am continuing my search in Poland to see if I can locate a death record for him there. I will also be looking for grave sites and cemeteries in Poland.

Again, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I am continuing my search with a renewed vigor

Warm regards,

[geomorfina]
