This is Amazing! Thank you so much! I’ve been working on my family history for a few years now. My mother’s family is from Poland and I have not been able to get much information about them because Polish records are harder to find. I appreciate this so much. Thank you for posting!

They were in Warsaw-Palasz. Wielechowska, Baranowska, Minasiewicz are the names. This is the best info I have found for a long time!

I followed the link in your “K” post of July 22, 2012 and then the link to this post and on to Geneteka.
I found the weddings of my great-grandfather and great-grandmother and of his brother, too! Also a baptism for one of their daughters. This gives me the names of all their parents. What a thrill to see that my great-great-grandmother’s name was Marianna.
Thank you so much for your blog!

Thanks so much for this information and explaining how to read the marriage information, thanks to a translation site I was able to figure out how to search and found my great great grandfather and grandmother which verified that she was indeed the correct name for the wife. Loved it!!

Donna – Thank you so much for this info! Of course I didn’t find everyone I was looking for (Why can’t that happen just once? ), but I did find some of the family and gained some new information. Most interestingly my great-grandfather Leonard Szerejko may have been married before he married my great-grandmother Jozefa. I was also able to track additional family members back to Suwalki which is where we suspect the family originates. Thanks again!
