Genealogy / Surname origins of Kantynowna [3]

Hi all,

I have a 6th great grandmother who's maiden name was Kantynowna. Apparently she was born in Poland however I can't find anything on this surname. I know some females had their surnames altered but is Kantynowna a Polish surname? I don't know her parents names so I can't work out what the male equivalent is. Any help would be great :)

Genealogy / Surname origins of Kantynowna [3]

I can't find anything about it on Google, however I came across this website with Huguenot surnames, which has Kantyn listed as a surname variant- phoenixhollo.com/fr/Comt%C3%A9_de_Jerauld_0.html

My ancestors full name is Catherine Kantynowna, she married in 1778 in Klonówka, Poland. I know some Huguenot people escaped to Germany, but what are the chances of them ending up in Pomerania? If this even indeed the right way to look at it. If its a rare Polish surname it must have come from somewhere else.

I should note on the PTG Pomorskie Towarzystwo Genealogiczne records, they have it spelled at Kantynowna, however in a family tree book I have, its Kuntynowna. This is a link to a copy of the birth record from the family tree book,

It looks like Kuntynowna. I can't understand any of the other text. I don't know if her parents names are listed or place of birth.

Genealogy / Requesting images of marriage records - Redman surname [2]

Hi all,

I have a set of 4th great grandparents who wed in Godziszewo in 1829. Their record is listed here
geneteka.genealodzy.pl/index.php?rid=S&from_date=&to_date=&search_lastname=redman&search_lastname2=&rpp1=200&bdm=S&w=11pm&op=gt&lang=eng

I was wondering who could I email with regards to requesting a digital image copy of this record? I'm hoping it has some info about Catharina, as Redman does not appear to be a common Polish surname.
