Genealogy / Genealogy - Cecylia Lisinska Family, Szczutowo, Poland [9]

Thank you all for your information and great suggestions.

Wishing you the best,

Diane Fiedler

My Grandmother's birth certificate was registered in Swiedziebnia, so I believe she was from one of the two Szczutowo's in woj. Kujaskow-Pomorskie. Is it common to have 3 villages, so close in proximity to each other, with the same name? How do you differentiate between them? The Other, you said that Cecylia's village was part of the German Empire. However, on the Immigration Form in 1903, it is shown that they were emigrating from Russia Poland. Just another mystery to try and solve!! Not to sound pompous but if I sent an email to the Polish Archives written in English, do you think it likely there would be someone there who could translate it to Polish? Is there usually a service fee?

I'm now going to try and locate the Catholic Church in their village. I would love to learn if my Grandmother had any siblings. I thought the Church might still have baptismal or marriage records from that time period on file. From what I've read, these "Communes" do not have many residents. I'm really hoping that someone may know or have heard of these two families. We'll see.....

Hello, I am looking for information regarding my Grandmother, Cecylia Lisinska born January 26, 1882 in Szczutowo. Her Father was Jozef Lisinski and her Mother was Maryann (Maryannz) Falkowski (Falkowsieh). If anyone has any information about my Grandmother, her family, relatives or location of the farm I believe they farmed, would you please reply. Sadly, I do not speak Polish. Thank you so much...
