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: Gniezno, Mogilno, Radziejów, Września, Słupca, Sompolno, Pyzdry, Konin, and Koło. 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 Stanisław and/or Marianna lived.
- The villages with “diamonds” are the locations that the couple’s children married, lived, and/or died.
More information for the villages within this article can be found on the Slownik Geograficzny Translations page on this website: http://www.apagr.com/slownik-geograficzny-translations/
Assumptions/Theories:
- Stanisław and Marianna moved to Kościerzki – Wilczyn Parish @1845, before moving to Bełszewo – Osięciny Parish. Stanisław was listed as a steward in both villages.
- The couple and/or family may have had B-M-D’s between 1845-1862.
- Marianna was listed in the B-M-D records of her children with Stanisław as Pawlak and not Michalak. Her father was named Paweł, so this may have added to the confusion.
Research Leads/Plans:
- Search for B-M-D records for the remaining family members.
- Locate where the families of Stanislaw lived/died after 1848.
Best Regards,
