Can anyone please help me find my great-granddad Anthony Czarnecki's birth record on the Polish Archives Website, since I can't really read Russian at all? From what the Polish Archives told me (*eye roll*):
W ksiqdze z 1904 r. parafii rzymskokatolickiej z Berznik zostat odnaleziony akt urodzenia Antoniego Czarneckiego s. Juliana i Aleksandry Andrulewicz.
Short translation: the record was found in holdings for Berzniki Parish under "Czarnecki". (You can guess who looked for ways to obscure our heritage again, thus the eye roll.)
In the original email (which I'm guessing may have been forwarded via the Zamosc Archives), using Google Translate, I even wrote:
Czerniecki (pierwotnie Chernetski lub Chernetzky) Zernetzky, etc. (Lipsk, Mackowa Ruda). Mój oddział (ojca dziadek "Antoni", ne nieznany, a jego rodzice, Julian i Aleksandria z Andrulewiczow Czerniecki) zmienił go na "Czarniecki" i "Czarnecki"...bo staliśmy Anusim przeżyć pogromy...
(Short translation: they used "Czarnecki", etc. after the conversion, which may've happened earlier than I thought and perhaps after the Farber-Kogan incident and/or due to some of the 1904 pogroms.)
