Genealogy / Moskorzew USC address [14]

Grzegorz,
Thanks for the additional informaton. At least the address is the same, so there isn't any worries about the request getting lost in the mail :) (not likely I'll call since I can speak Polish either). :(

Genealogy / Moskorzew USC address [14]

I don't read Polish, so navigating a Polish site is difficult for me. If you could provide information on what to "click" on to get the USC addresses for different locations, it would be extremely helpful!:)

Thanks, Joyce

Genealogy / A SHOCKING And Sad Story about my Polish family - But True! [22]

Hi Zirondelle,

I liked the story even though not shocking or sad!

Although I think it may have happened a very long time ago, if you would like some help in possibly discovering the Italian connection, please email me.

Ola,
Got it! Now to translate it. Also checked out genpol.com. Had this site for other info, never been on the fourm there, but since it's in Polish, members may not understand my computer generated Polish requests.......Will have to work on that. Thanks so much for all your help! Joyce

It's a very useful link to "Słownik Geograficzny Królestwa Polskiego i innych krajów słowiańskich" from XIXth century There is also a lot of information about Mucharz

Hi Ola,

I can't seem to find the information on Mucharz on this site.

mimuw.edu.pl

Links to "Java Scripts".....Which one?

I don't know any Polish, but muddle through sites with the help of online translations. I'm sure I'm missing a lot of information this way! My grandmother & mom would never teach me Polish, although I did ask many times. Now, I realize I have no aptitude for languages. :( Therefore, a call to the priest is out, but will write again.

On the "Skorowidz miejscowości Rzeczpospolitej" website is that the documents' page number?

Will see how I do on the genpol.com site later today. Will let you know.

Thanks so much for your patience & help!

If you know that your great granparents are buried in Mucharz the matter is rather simple. Check how many cemetries are in Mucharz and phone cemetry offices asking for this information.

How/where do I get this information?

If they are buried in Mucharz, why do you think they didn't die there? Where were they born? May be in one of the villages with a parish in Mucharz?

The certificates show born in Mucharz. Since the priest did not provide death information, I wonder if my mother just assumed that her grandparents died in Mucharz? Any suggestions?

You already have your great grandparents' "świedcetwo chrztu", you know where they are buried... I would stop here and moved backwards.

Oh, but the hunt is so much fun! Yes, I would love to go back further, but I know that priest don't have a lot of time for family record researches & the Polish State Archives' database doesn't show any records for Mucharz. I'm really stuck as to next step.

Ola,

I just noticed that you do English & Polish alphabets in the same post. I'm a computer dummy......How do you do that?

Hi Ola,

Thanks so much for replying. I messed up by calling them extracts. What I got for my great, grandparents & their children are called SWIADECTWO CHRZTU (' over the S)= Baptismal Certificate. These have the birth date, baptismal date, parents' names & their parents' names & on several of their childrens' records, their marriage & death information is listed, but not on my great, grandparents. I also received a "Wyciag z ksiegi slubow"= extract from marrige book for my gr. grandparents......This is where I got the "extract" from.

Now, my mother who lived with them in Mucharz til she immigrated to the USA in 1923, told me that they died & are buried in Mucharz. Great, grandmother died first & 3 years to the day, they found gr. grandfather at her grave, which he had visited everyday. Conclusion: They didn't die in Mucharz?......Is there anyway to find this information?

I agree with you that these records don't have the "spirit of the past'" but count myself very blessed to have received them! Perhaps someday, I can make the trip to my ancestral village to see & film the actual records., but for now, family keeps me here.

Your help is very much apprecaited.

Got it. Thanks so much for the information, Alexandra & Patrycja.

One more question.

The Catholic priest of Mucharz was kind enough to send me extracts of records for my family, bring me back two more generations. Although, I requested death information on my great, grandparents (their birth records were provided), this information was not included. I know that they both died in Mucharcz in their 80's & since they were born in the 1860's that would put their deaths in 1940's or early 1950's. So ......Can the USC office help or would it be better to contact the priest again?

Everything that is not older than 100 years is kept in both parishes and USC.

Are the USC records located in the towns?
