Tobiasz’s here and Tobiasz’s there
The movements of my Tobiasz ancestors from the late 1830’s until the 1880’s can be viewed in many fashions. I would like to view their movements as a family that is expanding and looking for constant work. Today, my Tobiasz family members are hard working and driven to succeed and I would like to think that my Tobiasz ancestors are the same.
I have created a map that chronicles the movements of my Tobiasz ancestors. I have based these movements on the documents that I’ve been to find and acquire. I am using the villages of the Góra Parish as a starting point. Below, I will list each number with a summary of where my Tobiasz ancestors lived, worked, birthed, married, and died.
- From the 1790’s until the 1830’s, my Tobiasz ancestors can be found in the villages of the Góra Parish. Specifically, I have found BMD (Birth, Marriage, and Death) records from the following villages: Pławnik, Góra, Dulsk, Dziennice, and Łąkocin. I have found many birth and death records of Jan and Jadwiga Tobiasz from this parish. Also, I have found the death of a Stanisław Tobiasz (aged 74) in these records.
- Records indicate that my 4x great-grandparents Stanisław Tobiasz and Agnieszka Buszka may have lived in a village belonging to the Parchanie Parish before moving to Krotoszyn (Kościelna Wieś Parish). The marriage record of Julianna Tobiasz indicates that she was born in this parish.
- The marriage record of Szczepan Tobiasz and Małgorzata Tokarska is from the the Pieranie Parish, in 1859. Szczpan listed his parents as Stanisław Tobiasz and Agnieszka Buszka. Also, the marriage of Franciszek Tobiasz lists his birth place as “Pieranie”, but I could not find his baptismal record in this parish. Could Franciszek have been born in Parchanie? (I am listing this as number three, because this seems to flow on the map of the area. The marriage record of Szczepan Tobiasz happened in 1859, which could move this location down on my “movement map”).
- The next place that the BMD records indicate is in the village of Krotoszyn. The death of my 4x great grandmother Agnieszka Tobiasz nee Buszka is recorded in the Kościelna Wieś parish in 1845. The same year, my 4x great grandfather, Stanisław, married for a second time in Krotoszyn (Kościelna Wieś Parish).
- The marriage record of my 3x great grandparents, Ignacy Tobiasz and Zofia Karpik, can be found in the Bądkowo Parish registries. My 3x great grandparents are also listed in the BMD records for three of their children.
- The Siniarzewo Parish records may of my Tobiasz ancestors BMD records. My 3x great grandparents buried a child in this parish and baptized another. Also Ignacy Tobiasz’s siblings, Andrzej, Julianna, and Franciszek married and had children in this parish. The records are from the following years: 1851-1866.
- During the same timeframe, a few records indicate that my 3x great grandparents had children in the parish of Byczyna, specifically in the village of Adolfin.
- After the Siniarzewo Parish, Andrzej Tobiasz (my 3x great granduncle) moved his family to the villages of the Łowiczek Parish. The records are from the following years: 1869- 1880.
- At the same time as movement number 8 above, Franciszek Tobiasz moved his family to the villages of the Lubanie Parish. This is based on a BMD record from the Łowiczek Parish that lists Franciszek residence as Lubanie.
- The Tobiasz family, specifically a son of my 3x great grandparents, can be found in the Koneck Parish records. The records are from the following year: 1881.
- My 2x great grandparents are listed in the BMD records of the Straszewo Parish from 1885-1905. Other Tobiasz ancestors are also listed.
This analysis is based on BMD records that I have found thus far. This analysis is not definitive. I feel that more research is necessary to obtain any missing documents that may be key to furthering my theories. I want to search more of the near by parishes to find any other BMD records of my Tobiasz ancestors. In particular I’d like to find any birth records of my 3x great-grandparents, Ignacy Tobiasz and Zofia Karpik. Their son and my 2x great grandfather, Michał Tobiasz, was born in 1863. Currently, the last BMD records of my 3x great grandparents is from the year 1853. I would like to locate any BMD records that I can find from 1853 until 1863. Also, I’d like to find the BMD records of Szczepan Tobiasz and Franciszek Tobiasz (my 3x great grand uncles).
More research to come….
