Marriage of Adam Frączczak and Antonina Słowińska (1817)

Hello,

This is my translation of the Polish language marriage record of Adam Frączczak and Antonina Słowińska from the Broniszewo Parish. Any errors are completely my own.

Racięcin, No 8, 1817

This happened on November 16th, 1817. Before Us, Rev. A. Kuperszmit, the undersigned Registrar of Vital Records of the District of Broniszewo, Brześć County, Mazowieckie Province:

Adam Frączczak, aged 20 – according to a certificate excerpted from the books of the Chełmce Parish, the son of Michał and Anna Frączczak,

as well as Antonina Słowińska, aged 23, single, residing in Racięcin  – according to a certificate excerpted from the books of the Strzałkowo Parish, the daughter of Szymon, a blacksmith, and Jadwiga Słowiński nee Czaplińska – residing in Byczyna.

The parties who appeared request that we proceed with the celebration of the wedding they have arranged between them, the announcement of which was published before the main doors of our District Court, that is on the 2nd and the 9th of November, 1817, at 12 p.m. When we were not informed of any obstacles to the aforementioned marriage, and the parents here in attendance hereby consent, acquiescing to the aforementioned request, after reading to the parties and witnesses all the aforementioned papers and Section Six of the Civil Code regarding marriage, we asked the future husband and future wife whether they wished to join with each other in marital union, and when each of them responded separately that such is their wish, we proclaim in the name of the law that Adam Frączczak and Antonina Słowińska, are joined in the bonds of matrimony.

Of which we recorded this record in the presence of: Franciszek Kujawa, aged 30, a farm owner, residing in Racięcin; Augustyn Chmielewski, aged 31, a shepherd, residing in Trzciniec; Jan Wodzyński, aged 43, an innkeeper, residing in Racięcin; and Wojciech Magrowski, aged 30, a laborer, residing in Zdankowo. This document was read aloud to the declarants and witnesses and signed by us who can write, because those appearing and the witnesses mentioned in this document cannot write.

Rev. A. Kuperszmit, Pastor of the Broniszewo Parish and Civil Registrar.
