Genealogy / Kesikowski: Surname origin, Polish Kingdom-Podlasie region 1600-1700 [8]

I have been trying to find out the origin of my last name, "Kesikowski" and found out that back in the 1600 and 1700 when Poland used to be a kingdom the was a town/or place in the Podlasie region of Poland. On this website:ipgs.us/iwona/surnames/surnamesk.html

I found this information about my surname Kesik, and it wasn't clear on what town it came from only that it came from this region. Is there a website in Poland or any website that I can find out about the old regions of poland and where surnames originated???

Merged thread:
Polish Surname spelling

I have been researching my family name:Kęsikowski and have found a website called barbarafamily.eu and their documents are a match to a distant relative called Marcin Kęsikowski (b.1806)who married Josefa Styler(b.1811), they had a daughter called Joanna Florentyna Kęsikowski (b.1831)who married a member of this family. The LDS- family history library is where I got this information, but the barbarafamily site has the marriage document stating her father's name as Marcina Kęsikowskiego? Both parents I think? were not living at time of her marriage.My question is the surname "Kęsikowskiego" is that the original name from which my surname originated? or is that an extended version of "Kęsikowski "in polish? Can anyone please help and explain this? Should I be looking from "Kęsikowskiego" or the shorter version for my family roots? Thank you for your time.

Genealogy / Burial listings for Polish cemeteries. Where to find them online? [12]

You can not find much online, the Polish government does allow any records that are 100 years or less to be online (privacy issues), I have tried to find my family tree records, one needs patience and a lot of hunting around different websites. I have found some relatives on this cemetery website: nekrologi-baza.pl/nazw/indexnazw.htm ( city of Warsaw),but you really need to go to the State Archives of the city in Poland and pay up so they can look for you, some charge as much as a fee of $200 to $400 for 1 hr + expenses.

Good luck in your search.

Genealogy / Pomeranian Records from 1700 Poland [2]

Can anyone tell me if there is a website that can give me more information on records from Polands birth,death, marriage and baptisim from the 1700's? I was researching my family surname; Kęsikowski and from records from the Pomeranian Genealogy Association ptg.gda.pl and the website genealodzy.pl they had records of my family name that goes back to a baptism of a Catharinam Kęsikowska in 1730 from Drzycim,Kujawsko-Pomorskie,Poland. I can not find any records of who her father was or anything after the 1850's, the LDS-familysearch only has records as far back as 1806. I know the LDS has records as far back as 1500's because my mother's family is from Peru and LDS has thousands of records from the 1500's. Can anyone help solve this? Thank you for any insight.
