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: Inowrocław, Ciechocinek, Lipno, Mogilno, Radziejów, Włocławek, Słupca, Sompolno, Kłodawa, Konin, Koło, and Łęczyca. 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 Pankowski and Franciszka Wojdyła 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:
- Baptism of Agnieszka Pankowski must have been recorded within another parish – possibly Sędzin.
- Franciszka Lewandowska nee Wojdyła died in Zakrzewo between 1842-1847.
- Wojciech Pankowski was born in a neighboring Parish – Siniarzewo, Sędzin, Grabie, or Broniewo are all possibilities.
Research Leads/Plans:
- Check the surrounding parish LDS films for birth/death in 1806-1807 – possible Pankowski children.
- Check Straszewo Parish films for death in 1842-1847 – Franciszka Lewandowska nee Wojdyła.
- Search for B-M-D records for the remaining family members.
Best Regards,
