You need someone who specialises in Latin.mine is too poor.
I guess it's a birth record of Basil (Wasyl or Bazyli in Polish but since it's a Greek Catholic book probably the previous).

The headings are missing so it's not only my poor Latin but also guessing in poor Latin.
The first date is usually the day of birth and then the day of baptism. I can't see the month -it was cut out while cropping.

A legitimate child.
The next chart is usually about the parents
Basilius Feredycz (?) Peasant (?) in Jablonka Wyzna of Lucas (?) And Helena nee Stefan.
Sophia Feredycz daughter of Daniel Bzynko (???) and Eufrozja/Eufrozyna nee Iwaniuk.
The last part is usually the godparents.

Show the full page to someone who knows Latin better ^^

Life / The climate for gardening in Poland [196]

@Zlatko
Gdańsk is at the Baltic Sea.
Generally Poland is further north than Bulgaria .

As I said I don't know much about gardening but I guess there are more factors than just the temperature.

Funnily enough, I talked with a friend about an avocado tree she'd got and how she actually failed to safe. Not a tree yet, tbh.

Just a tiny little question before I fekk off; )

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2223]

@Spike31
Read what's underneath what you quoted :)

Again, it's mostly about protecting others from you than the other way round.

All in all, imho, the elections are not really on people's minds anyway.
Probably, no one will win in the first round anyways.

And actually, concerning all countries in the world, being in charge of the country's politics during the pandemic is probably not what they expected and it's not easy to be popular with the society.

So there's no point for doctors wearing masks during surgeries also? ;)

There's a meme with an interesting explanation to that.
If you and the guy next to you are not wearing trousers, if he starts peeing at you, you will get wet.
If you're wearing trousers, and he's not, you're gonna get wet but most will be absorbed by your trousers so you won't get all of it on you.

But if he's wearing trousers and starts peeing, he's going to get wet, not you.

As you can see not really scientific but explains it.

The main reason behind wearing masks is protecting others from you.

I hate wearing them, btw but since it may protect people even to a minimum extent, I can do it.

BTW, pis vs po arguments seem to belong to the past now, so pre -covid.
Someone is getting nostalgic. Awwwwww

Travel / Sułoszowa is one of the longest villages in Poland [7]

@jon357
Since it's so common, perhaps it's shetls that are like Polish villages; )

Such lining of houses in the countryside is quite common in villages around the place where I live.

@Zlatko
I actually googled sequoias in Sofia and it was real fun to read but I don't think sequoias as such are common in Bulgaria. Or in cities as such.

I really don't know much about gardening but I guess certain plants may survive in different climates but the climate will probably affect their growth.

In fact, I know so little that I thought ginkgo biloba was the named of medicine my dad took some time ago. @jon357 :)
But I googled it.

I actually ended up in Obi on Thursday and they do have some plants in their offer. Most likely of worse quality than at a gardener's but I bought some lavender :)

My friend ended up buying more as someone actually interested in gardening.

Genealogy / What does my Polish name mean? [400]

@Crow
It's całować in Polish.

@gjene
It's not a common name. I can't think what it may be derived from.
As for how common it is in Poland now
nlp.actaforte.pl:8080/Nomina/Ndistr?nazwisko=Pusiewicz+
Here are some results for Pusiewicz on geneteka (indexed church records from certain areas).
As for Kropiwki, according to Wikipedia the village had a population of 20 in 2011 so it's really tiny.

Genealogy / Seeking marriage and death records from Rzeszow [3]

You can contact the civil register office in Rzeszów to get their death certificates. Those should include their parents' names. Also they should include their place of birth. That's of some use if they were born somewhere else.

usc@erzeszow.pl

As for their birth records, they should include this information as well but I can't find anything online prę 1890. You can always contact the Rzeszów branch of state archives. They'll know what happened to the records.

Some records from Pobitno are available online at szukajwarchiwach.pl. You can look them up though not all scans are available online.

Genealogy / Leszczynski surname, Balcerzak [51]

There are roughly 25 thousand users of this surname in Poland nowadays. I doubt all came from the noble family.
Check the records. Start with what you have in the states. Look for their immigration papers.

News / Hundreds Protest Against Lockdown at Polish-German Border [8]

Even if they support them financially, that may work for single people. It won't be that easy for those with families.

News / Hundreds Protest Against Lockdown at Polish-German Border [8]

I saw a report on it on tv.

BTW, isn't there online teaching in Germany?

That's really tough -something that seemed so unusual yet so obvious (living in one country and working in another ) is not so easy anymore.

I really wonder what will happen to these people as it seems pretty unlikely right now that they'll open the borders.

Po polsku / Afera Oleksego tzw. "Olin" [30]

@johnny reb
Ile razy trzeba Ci powiedzieć, że Google Translate 'ssie'?
Już wielokrotnie wyszły Ci bzdury, bo wrzucales coś po angielsku z błędem i tłumacz nie ogarnął Twojej slabej ortografii.
Tutaj tłumacz nie ogarnął tego, że KARTOFEL i ZIEMNIAK są tłumaczone na angielski tak samo.
(Rada dla Ciebie jak będziesz wrzucał to znów do tłumacza -zwróć uwagę tym razem, że to dwa osobne słowa. Specjalnie napisałam je capslockiem, bo wrzucając do tłumacza mój poprzedni tekst Ci to umknęło. Trochę bardziej spostrzegawczym trzeba być. I tutaj pozwoliłam sobie na mały eufemizm).

Zdajesz sobie sprawę, że nikt nie wierzy w Twoją znajomość polskiego, prawda?

@Spike31
Pyrą byś się ewidentnie ujawnił jeśli chodzi o pochodzenie. :)
Choć i tutaj część mówi kartofle, to jednak raczej jadamy ziemniaki.
A co do obelg warzywniczych, to zawsze pozostaje stary, dobry burak.
Ziemniak, bo z ziemi. Kartofel, bo z niemieckiego (w ichniejsza etymologie nie będę się zagłębiać), ale skąd się pyra wzięła? Ktoś, coś?

Po polsku / Afera Oleksego tzw. "Olin" [30]

Libido to nie od ryżu chyba.
Po prostu masz więcej energii.

Tutaj bardziej chodziło mi o różnicę językowa pomiędzy ziemniakami i kartoflami.

Dla mnie ryż i kasza są po prostu wygodniejsze. Ziemniaki kupuję jak planuję na przykład zupę z ziemniakami. Jak kupię na zapas, to mi zaczynają kielkowac.

Ryż i kasza mi tego nie zrobią.

Ryż biały jest dla mnie za słodki. Brązowy ok. Ostatnio lubię jasminowy, któremu jeśli chodzi o błonnik zapewne bliżej do białego niż brązowego, ale sprawdza się w pulpetach zamiast bułki. Jest bardziej kleisty.

Z kasz aktualnie najbardziej lubię gryczana białą. Jaglanka jest ok, ale lepiej kupować na wagę, bo ta w torebkach po ugotowaniu ma konsystencję mamalygi. Woreczek ją bardzo ogranicza najwyraźniej.

Może coś o ptysiach dodam, żeby nie było, że nie na temat? ;)

@Ziemowit
Ja uprzejmie przypominam, że w swym poście wyraziłam żal, że nie posiadam pola ziemniaków (Wy wszyscy kartofle jecie? ), a nie ziemniaków jako takich.

Tak się we mnie chłopskie korzenie odezwały.
Tak sobie pokopac w ziemi zamiast siedzieć przed kompem i pracować zdalnie.
Choć biorąc pod uwagę moje obecne doświadczenie w pracach ogrodowych itp to tak dziesięć minut później by mi ta ochota na prace rolne przeszła.

Po polsku / Płonie Biebrzański Park Narodowy [5]

Za mało wiem, żeby mówić o odpowiedzialności za taką sytuację.
Koleżanka, która dużo bardziej orientuje się w temacie juz kilka lat temu mówiła o suszy w Polsce.
Może to być związane z ociepleniem klimatu.
Narozrabialismy -my ludzie.
Placi za to przyroda.
W temacie pożaru czytałam o bieliku, który zginął, bo do końca próbował chronić gniazdo i wyleg.
Przykre to.
W tym pożarze giną rośliny i zwierzęta. Te, które ten park miał w jakiś sposób chronić.
Strażacy nie mogą wjechać ciężkim sprzętem na teren ze względu na podłoże.
Lasy państwowe próbowały gasić z powietrza z tego co czytałam, ale to żywioł na terenie podatnym na rozprzestrzenie się ognia.

I choć nie lubię mówić o polityce, to jak się słyszy, że minister rzuca, że ocieplenie klimatu to w sumie dobra sprawa, bo mniejsze rachunki za prąd -czy coś w ten deseń, a za chwilę dochodzi do pożaru takiego terenu, to jakby nie w porę.

Taki mały update (w Ponglish ): przyczyną może być wypalanie traw.
