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: Skrzeszewo, Sierakowice, Miechucino, Gowidlino, Kamienica Szlachecka, Goręczyno, Sułęczyno, Skorzewo, Szymbark, Lipusz, Kościerzyna, and Wielki Klińcz. 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 Andrzej Jach and/or Józefina Szutenberg 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/Roadblocks:

• The Stężyca Parish baptismal records between the years of 1792-1805 are missing. The years between 1805-1819 have many faded pages that make the records almost illegible.
• Andrzej Jach was born @1814. Wojciech and Katarzyna Jach nee Maliszewska were married in 1809 and had children until 1822. Wojciech’s death record in 1823 listed 5 children. Andrzej was one of these children.
• Andrzej Jach died @1880-1881 in Polonia, Wisconsin.

Research Leads/Plans:

• Search for B-M-D records for the remaining family members.
