Information on Chorzele and a few surrounding villages

[masweck]

Some of my family records are recorded in a parish in Chorzele. They are Catholics so would the church be St Nicholas? Other family members are recorded in the parish records of Krzynowloga Wielka. What would the name of the church be there? My family immigrated to the US in 1904. Am I right in thinking that when there were births, deaths and marriages, families traveled to the closest church to their village and that is where records were recorded. My grandfather was from a village called Zagaty. I understand tat Zagaty was very small. Can anyone tell me about it?

The village was assigned to a Parish but not in every case it was the closest one. Sometimes people used different Parish so you have to look around if someone is missing.

Zagaty was in Parish Chorzele
