Genealogy / Need help with Latin abbreviations on Galicia baptismal record [4]

I was wondering if someone could help with a couple of Latin abbreviations that appear on my grandfather's baptismal record. This record is from a Roman Catholic parish in what was then Galicia. I have attached a cropped portion of the record where it has my grandfather's father and his father's parents listed. There is an abbreviation after their names, and I think it's an abbreviation for their occupation. Does anyone have any ideas as to what they are?

Genealogy / Joining Free Polish Army in Scotland after Dunkirk from Africa [2]

The only ship lists that I know of are for civilian refugees (displaced persons) who were transported from camps in Africa, and some from Europe to UK. These lists are in the following link. They are not indexed, so one would have to look through each ships passenger list for surnames.

Genealogy / Ancestry: Looking for relatives Bartochevicz, Klacskiewicz, from Rudnia, Poland [11]

Hello Latte,

I know of an Antoni Klaczkiewicz, 1883-1953, and his wife Maria, 1884-1973. They immigrated to USA in 1951 as displaced persons. I think my great uncle Ludwik Bartoszewicz was their sponsor as their arrival manifest lists my great uncles address in USA. Was Antoni related to you?

Genealogy / Searching Polish relatives of the Berezowki family, Tarnopol [4]

I found the baptismal entry online for Andrej (1893) and also his brother Michael (1890) These records are from the area once known as Galicia, and are in Latin. The entries list parents names as well as grandparents names, and at far right in entry are the sponsors names.

Michael's entry has more information on grandparents names than Andrej's has, but the surnames are difficult to read


  • Andrej 1893

  • Michael 1890

Genealogy / Borysewicz (Borysiewicz?) family in Derewna, Osadnik? [6]

Family History Center usually refers to area research centers run by The Church Of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) They have microfilm records from all over the world. You have to order the microfilm at a local LDS research center, and once it arrives one can view it there. This is from the Family Search Catalog and refers to the microfilm from Derewno(their spelling)

1759-1900 records, Roman Catholic Church Derewno- Roman Catholic Church records (births, marriages, deaths) for Derevno, Oshmi︠a︡ny, Vilʹna, Russia; later Derewno (StoƂpce), Nowogródek, Poland; now Dzeraŭnai︠a︡, Stoŭbtsy, Minsk, Belarus. Text in Polish, Latin and after 1848 in Russian.

As far as land records I have no answer. They may be in the archives in Belarus, or even in Lithuania. I do know of the area of Derewna and the villages to the north. My Bartoszewicz family came from Rudnia Nalibocka which is about 20 miles or so north of Derewna. If you are on facebook, there is a group you can join called "Polish Nowogrodek Family Ties" the members are persons who have family ties within the Nowogrodek region, with most having ties to Derewna, Jankowicze, Rudnia Nalibocka, Kamien, Naliboki . The group has over 200 members. Someone there may be able to give some ideas for your search.
