The search for the Szymkiewicz's
: pn 12 paź 2015, 04:49
Hello my friends, I apologize to those who dont speak English on the forum but some very helpful people on here have replied in English so I guess I'll take my chances. As I have said before after hitting many dead ends on the trail to find my 2nd great grandfather Adolf Szymkiewicz, and his parents Konstanty and Julia, I have employed a skilled genealogist in Wilno to help me try to find them. He has many years of expereince and many resources at his disposal so here's hoping for the best.
The update however is that he found some information on 2 siblings of Adolf. Firstly that he had a sister Zofia who was born on 15 May 1860 in the village of Wiciuny (haven't found it on map yet) in and baptized in the parish church of Szyrwinty (which is north of Kozakiszki). Unfortunately he did not find Adolf's birth certificate or his parents marriage records.
The other tidbit found was a brother Wladyslaw who married Paulina Orlowska in Wilno in 1904 (Will send email to get more info). So hopefully he can find the elusive relatives, it appears they were fairly mobile people (ie moved quite a bit) unlike my Michalkiewicz/Subotowicz ancestors who are in the same parish as far back as I can go.
Thanks so much.
Hugh
