My maternal great- great grandfather, Michal Hasinski was born in Raciecice abt 1859. The family later moved to Warzymowo, then Skulsk.
I’ve had difficulty getting any types of records or locating family from that area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Some Parish History: http://www.sompolno.pl
Translated to English via Google.

Racięcice, mentioned for the first time in 1418 in written sources, was owned by the nobility. The parish was founded in the late 14th / 15th century and until 1818 belonged to the Archdiocese of Gniezno. During years 1864-1902 Racięcice parish was a subsidiary of the parish Lubstówek.

The first mention of a church in the village dates back to the early years of the 15th century wooden churches. The last of these was the church issued in 1780 by Andrew Mniewskiego, owner of Racięcic.

The present parish church, brick P. W. Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in the years 1898-1900 with Zofia Słubicka owner Lubstów and Racięcic, thanks to the efforts of Fr. Joseph Ornastowskiego canon. Consecrated by Bishop Henry Kossowski, suffragan of Wloclawek in 1901, the church is brick, neo-Gothic style. The temple is oriented, nave and tower. The altars are in neo-Gothic style. In the main altar are statues of St. Rococo. Mark the Evangelist and St. Matthew the Apostle. Mensa rococo altar and tabernacle. The most valuable monument of the church was a Gothic statue of the Madonna and Child, carved in wood, in 1430, in 1995 it was stolen. In its place is now imported from Fatima statue of Our Lady of Fatima.

In 1967, the church of Racięcicach had a fire that destroyed tower, roof and painting in the church. The church was rebuilt by Fr. Wieslaw Szwagrzyk. Art Nouveau paintings were painted with emulsion (1970). In 1998 began the renovation and painting of the church. Restored historic murals in the chancel of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
Presbytery, the brick with two mid-nineteenth century, the rectory and the cemetery fence, built from 1900.

During the occupation, the church remained closed by the Germans from June 1941 until the end of January 1945, the internal design of the church was seriously devastated, was destroyed almost all the liturgical equipment. By June 1941, the ministry led the local parish priest, Fr. John Topoliński, then it was only celebrated underground ministry
