Genealogy / Research in SE Poland [56]

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?

Genealogy / Research in SE Poland [56]

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.

How/where do I get this information?


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?


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?

Genealogy / Research in SE Poland [56]

Well, it took me a while to find the right system tools, then the character map, then longer to figure out how to use it, but I did.......ą ę ś :)

Dziekuje!(Thanks!)

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!

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

Perhaps you should try giving your uncle a book that details the border changes over the years for his birthday or Christmas. If he doesn't "get it" after reading the book, you can hit him over the head with it!:) :) (just kidding)

If you want help research for families & perhaps finding out your ancestral towns, please provide more specific information. 1st names of each member of a family group & approx. birth years help tremendously.

If you are referring to the Josef Baldowski, who arrived on 6/1/1915 aboard the "Graf Waldersee," there is notations about his naturalization on the manifest. You can obtain this record which should list his town of origin. Other records that may have this information would be his death certificate, birth records for children born in the States, church records, & ss application.

Hope this helps.
