Tonight’s #genealogy project was the #translation of the #death record of Antonina Załęska, who was the SIL of my grandaunt by marriage. I downloaded the record from #Geneteka #poland. It was written in pre-revolutionary #russian. Like most #ancestors from that side of my #family she was born and spent her whole life in Ciechanów, north of #Warsaw in modern #Masovian #Voivodeship. The translation is in the alt-text. #geneadons #Ancestry #familyhistory #CongressPoland

He was born and died in #Ciechanów, then in the #Płock Governorate of #CongressPoland in the #russianempire (today in Ciechanów County in the #Masovian #Voivodeship ). The records were beautifully written in #russian script, making for easy reading. It appears as though my #greatgrandfather reported Jan’s death to the registrar.

Born circa 1789, he married Marianna Skuzalska in 1816. Together they had 8 children (2 boys, 6 girls). They lived in what was then the #Płock #Voivodeship (later Governorate) in Congress #poland #russianempire about 80 miles (130 km) northwest of #warsaw. Józef died in 1848. #geneadons #history #familyhistory #Ancestry
