Maps:
The map below is a combination of maps found on the website for Map Archive of Wojskowy Instytut Geograficzny: http://english.mapywig.org/news.php. The map below is derived from the following areas: Szczecinek, Debrzno, Chojnice, Wałcz, Fłatów, Więbork, Piła, Wyrzyk, and Nakło. I used Image Composite Editor to merge the maps into a panorama of the area where my ancestors were located. The map is not 100% aligned, but it does give a general idea of where villages were located.
Map Key:
- The villages with “stars” are the locations that Wojciech Straszyński and/or Marianna Borzych lived.
- The villages with “diamonds” are the locations that the couple’s children lived.
More information for the villages within this article can be found on the Słownik Geograficzny Translations page on this website: http://www.apagr.com/slownik-geograficzny-translations/
Assumptions/Theories:
- The Sypniewo Parish is missing death records before 1777.
- Wojciech was a fisherman and his family also resided in another parish.
- Marianna Straszyńska nee Borzych died @1743 after the birth of her child Konstancja.
- Many of Wojciech’s children died before adulthood.
- Michał Straszyński moved to or resided in another parish.
Research Leads/Plans:
- Search for B-M-D records for the remaining family members.
