Lewoniewski family Church records (St. Petersburg, 1899―1910)
St. Petersburg Deanery of Roman Catholic churches
("Санкт-Петербургский деканат Римско-католических церквей")
All these church records are in a torrent archive (RuTracker, free access, standard quality). Also, all these church records are on the official website of the archive (spbarchives.ru, paid access, good quality). The name of the archive in Russian is the "Центральный государственный исторический архив Санкт-Петербурга" ("ЦГИА СПб"). All these records are in the archive collection ("фонд" in Russian) with the number 1822.
This is the archive of the church district office (catholic deanery or "dekanat"). Most of the records in the archive are old official copies of the original church records ("метрические экстракты" in Russian). Sometimes there are two copies of the original church record. All Catholic church records were in Russian only.
Józepf Lewoniewski (1899–1933) married Aniel Rzyszczewska (1910 – 1986) on 1932? (the exact date is unknown), there were no children in this marriage.
Józef was born in St. Petersburg 20th March 1899 (the official Julian calendar, "old style"). 20th March + 12 - 31=1th April (the modern Gregorian calendar, "new stile"). There are two official copies of the birth record in the State Archive of St. Petersburg. The main copy (with old remarks) is "ЦГИА СПб. ф.1822. оп.4. д.39". The second copy (without old remarks) is "ЦГИА СПб. ф.1822. оп.1. д.30".
The parents of Józef Lewoniewski
Aleksander Lewoniewski (1867?–1910, son of Piotr Joachim Lewoniewski from Geneteka) married Teofila Biziuk (1875?–1945, daughter of Franciszek Biziukiewicz from Geneteka) on 1895 in Sokółka. The marriage record (in Russian) is in the polish archive. There were four children in this marriage: Władysław (1897–after 1945?), Józef (1899–1933), Zygmunt (1902–1937?), Zofia (1906–after 1983).
Alexander was born in the Grodno region around 1875, the exact date and place are unknown. The marriage record (1895) shows age 27, the death record (1910) shows age 44. There are two photos of Alexander.
Alexander died in St. Petersburg in 1910. Alexander was buried in St. Petersburg at the large Catholic cemetery. The grave was lost. There is one official copy of the death record "ЦГИА СПб. ф.1822. оп.4. д.120".
Teofila was born in Sokółka around 1875, the exact date and place are unknown. The marriage record (1895) shows age 20.
Teifila died and in Konstancin (near Warszawa) in 1945. The death record is unknown, the exact date on the tombstone.
Brothers and sister of Józef Lewoniewski
Władysław was born in Sokółka in 1897, the exact date and place are unknown.
Zygmunt was born in St. Petersburg 2th My 1902 (the official Julian calendar, "old style"). 2th May + 13 =15th May (the modern Gregorian calendar, "new stile").
There are two official copies of the birth record in the State Archive of St. Petersburg. The main copy (with old remarks) is "ЦГИА СПб. ф.1822. оп.4. д.49". The second copy (without old remarks) is "ЦГИА СПб. ф.1822. оп.1. д.33".
Zofia was born in St. Petersburg 8th? Ocyober 1906 (the official Julian calendar, "old style"). 8th October + 13 =21th October (the modern Gregorian calendar, "new stile").
There is one official copy of the birth record "ЦГИА СПб. ф.1822. оп.4. д.72". But the church record of the wedding (1931) indicates Zofia was born October 3, 1906. This is the different date (3th October + 13 =16th October; 3th October - 13 =20th September). The reason for the difference is unknown, the original church record and second official copy were lost.
The number of major church records.
Church of St. Stanislaus (3 records, 5 documents): the birth records of Józef (1899), Zygmunt (1902) and Zofia (1906).
Church of St. Catherine (1 record, 1 document): the death record of Alexander (1910).
I think this is a complete list (Władysław was born in Sokółka).
Other types of church records.
The family as Godparents
In one birth record (1899) Aleksander Lewoniewski was named Godfather.
In other birth record (1902) Teofila Lewoniewska was named Godmother.
I think this is an incomplete list.
Relatives of the family
Possible, Wiktor Biziuk/Biziukiewicz (uncle of Teofila) moved from Sokółka to St. Petersburg (with his family) two? years earlier. The exact date is unknown, but there are some church records of Wiktor's family (1897–1908). Wiktor (uncle of Teofila) was only five years older than Alexander (husband of Teofila). Alexander was from "nobility" family ("потомственное дворянство" in Russian), Wiktor and Teofila were from "urban dwellers" family ("мещане" in Russian) (Social estates in the Russian Empire).
Namesakes of the family
The surname "LewOniewski/LewAniewski"was not unique, other families with this surname also lived in St. Petersburg. There are some Roman Catholic church records with this surname, but "peasantry" family ("крестьяне" in Russian).
