Rodzina Dowiat(Dowaitt) Mejszagola

[os2hugh]

My friends,

I will link to a parish list from 1844 in Mejszagola which seems to have ancestors of mine through the Dowiat Romanowicz side. My problem is I have a limited (make that almost nonexistant) understanding of Polish especially gender/suffixes etc. The Document can be foundhere:

http://genealogia.lt/pdfs/Spis%20parafi ... 40%20r.pdf

I was looking through this extensive list and found Dowiat (in this case Dowiatt's) on at least three pages: 25,26 and 27.

on pg 25: number 559
pg 26: numbers 514-517- seems to be mother and daughters? Aniela Romanowicz perhaps and could one daughter be Julia from 1859 marriage?

pg 27: number 590 Wincenty Dowiatt??

The reason I think these are realtives are as follows a marriage record of Konstanty Szymkiewicz and Julia Dowiat from May of 1859 lists Julia's age as 23 and from the parish of Mejszagola. Her parents are listed as Bartlomiej and Aniela (Romanowicz) Dowiat. One of the witnesses of this wedding is listed as nobleman Nikodem Dowiat.

I know this list is from 15 years before the wedding but I am hopping my hunch is right.

Hopefully one of you can confirm this or make sense of it.

Sincerely,

Hugh

ps the social standing seems to say Dworzanin and Dworzanka?? Is this some petty noble title? (all documents so far call Dowiatts Noble)

Michal,

Would you say that Julianna could be the Julia from my 1859 marriage record? She was 23 then (so the age seems appropriate) Her mother was Aniela Romanowicz who was married to a Bartlomiej Dowiatt. I also made a mistake on pg 25 it was number 549 not 559. It looks like Nikodem Dowiatt and some Connection with Bartlomiej. A question I cant find Bartlomiej Dowiatt is he possibly already deceased?

In the end do you think this is them?

Thanks,

Hugh
