Renkiewicz's in Zebry and Wasosz, Poland

Zebry, Poland


Through archival fiche I have located what I believe is my GGM's birth info and it states she was born on 15 Aug 1860 in Zebry and baptised and christened in the Roman Catholic Parish of Wasosz. I have had the transcription of her birth translated from Polish to English and this is what it states:

It happened in town Wasosz August 3/15* th, 1860 at 3 o'clock afternoon. Wojciech Chmielewski a farmer from Zebry 50 years old came in companion of Franciszek Wisniewski 40 years of age and Leopold Kalinowski 30 years - farmers from Zebry. He (Wojciech Chmielewski) showed us a female child and told that she had been born in Zebry day before, at noon and that she is his and his wife Franciszka Kalinowska's (32 years old) daughter. The child was christened that day by priest Szymon Karmelita and given the name Maryanna. Her Godparents were Franciszek Wisniewski and Maryanna Kulikowska (Kalinowska?). That document was read to participants of ceremony who couldn't read and only by us (priest) was subscribed.

Note: *Date was written double way that time, one way - Polish, second - Russian, by gregorian calender.

Any information and or help in locating any documents on any of my relatives is warmly and greatfully appreciated. I can be contacted at my email of JJRynk@hotmail.com

Sto Lat,

Jan J. Rynkiewicz/Renkiewicz
