Zlotow Parish Films

Hello,

I had a chance to complete an initial search through the Zlotow Parish Films. The films are complete (Death, Marriage, and Baptisms) and very legible. It looks as though my assumption, that most of the Kobs families who lived on the South Side of Milwaukee, were indeed related. I am still gathering records to prove this, but this is a step in that direction.

Here are my initial findings:

Father: Andreas Kobs
Mother: Antonia Kowalska
Child: Balbina
Date: May 9, 1841
Village: Blekwit
Patrons: Jacob Woytak and Ewa Migowa

Father: Andreas Kops (aka: Kobs)
Mother: Antonia Kowalska
Child: Johann

Village: Blekwit
Patrons: Simon Wloszczynski and Justina Jeske

Mother: Antonia Kowalska

Father: Andreas Kops (aka: Kobs)
Mother: Antonia Kowalska
Child: Paulus
Date: May 5, 1847

I only was able to go through 1842-1852. I wanted to verify that my Kobs family belonged to this Parish. I will continue to dig deeper into these films. Hopefully, I will be able to trace back a couple more generations.
