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.

Prussian Poland

Map Key:

• The villages with “stars” are the locations that Krzysztof Kąkol and/or Teresa Bigus 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 village of Oxenhop and Kamionka records entries and can be found in the Parchowo, Stężyca, Sierakowice, and Sułęczyno Parishes.
• The Parchowo Parish baptismal records start after 1806.
• The Stężyca Parish baptismal records are missing from 1792-1805. The years between 1805-1819 have many faded pages that make the records almost illegible.

Research Leads/Plans:

• Search for B-M-D records for the remaining family members.
• Need to obtain: Death – Gowidlino Parish – 1883 No.58 p.60 – Franciszek Kąkol
• Need to obtain: Baptism – Sierakowice Parish – 1766 No.55 p.81 – Krzysztof Kąkol
