Help With Translating Handwritten Polish Records

Hello,

I have several images of records that may be related to my family that I obtained from the Geneteka website. I was hoping someone here might be able to help provide me with a translation of them. I understand that some of them, maybe all of them, may be illegible. I did try to increase the contrast, but not sure if that helped.

If that's too much to ask, any recommendations on reputable translation services would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks!

That's not Polish. It's written in the cyrillic. Your ancestors must have been born under the Russian partition.

Hi Kap,

Thanks for the clarification! The records are supposedly church records. My great-grandfather was born in Wypychy, Pniewo, Mazowieckie, Poland around 1880. Was that considered part of the Russian partition at that time?

Well, I don't really know for sure but since the records are in the cyrillic, I'd say so. They wouldn't have used it under the Prussian and Austrian partition.

I have seen similar records before. They use the Latin alphabet when giving the name of the father, the baby etc but the rest is in the cyrillic.

@Rickzawadzki, at the time that territory where your great-grandfather was born was part of the Kingdom of Poland (also known as Congress Poland) which was a puppet state of the Russian Empire:

My region was also part of Congress Poland at that time and my family's church records are also in Russian (my aunt got them translated).

@kaprys @paulina Thank you both for your help and education. So, from here on out, if I'm looking for a translator I should seek someone who can reliably translate Russian rather than Polish, correct?

It's definitely Russian. Mazowieckie was Russian partition in XIX century. I could only decipher some dates and names but cannot grasp the actual meaning of those documents. You must find some Russian person to translate.

Yes, all the scans are in Russian. I've noticed some Polish names written in Latin alphabet ("Józefу z Prusów", "Jan") as kaprys mentioned, but that's it, so you need a Russian translator, probably someone who has some experience in translating archives from the past or at least someone who has a Russian philology degree (since some of the language may be outdated), I guess.

@Paulina @Cinek Thank you again for being so helpful. This definitely puts me on a better track towards having them translated. I really appreciate it!

You're welcome, Rick :)

You are not asking for translation but for deciphering an illegible document. This is a huge difference.
This copy is really bad quality.

I can`t help much coz all I am able to read is already included in the name of the document.

Hello-I have found what I think is a birth record of Wladyslaw Langowski. I am looking for someone to translate it basically for the names and possible relationships. I cannot tell if it is all one record or several births recorded in the same paragraph. I would attach the file but do not know how as I am new to this forum. The link is metryki.genealodzy.pl/metryka.php?ar=13&zs=0613d&sy=1890&kt=1&plik=_M_2284.jpg#zoom=1.5&x=1925&y=1313. and it is record #118. Any suggestions for a reputable translator would be appreciated.

Thank you!
Suzanne

My Russian is very basic, but I'll write what I see there:
The first word is a town name - my wild guess is Lutocin? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutocin

Present: Anna Wilara - midwife (?) residing in Lutocin, 48 years old, in the presence of: Franciszka Dobiesza, 43, and Jan Asztęborski, 31 (?), presented male infant born in Lutocin on the previous day, at 10:00, by Anna Langowska, 23, unmarried maid resided in Lutocin. At the time of his baptism he was given the name Władysław. (...)
