The record is for my Great Great Grandparents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The record is for Franciszek Betley and Katarzyna Bachta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. I understand that Franciszek is the son of deceased father Jan Betley and Marianna but cant make out her last name, anyone that can make it out would be appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Can anyone figure out what the brides parents names are, I can only see Maryanna and the rest is jibberish to my eye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regards and thanks in advance, this would get me a little further into my tree.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dan&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hi Dan,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To me it looks like:&lt;br /&gt;
The bride's parents are: Cajetanus Bachta and Maryanna Fortuniączka.&lt;br /&gt;
Cajetanus = Kajetan&lt;br /&gt;
Maryanna = Marianna&lt;br /&gt;
Fortuniączka = Fortuna&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The groom's parents are: Joannes Betley and Maryanna Twardzicka&lt;br /&gt;
Joannes = Jan&lt;br /&gt;
Maryanna = Marianna&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regards,&lt;br /&gt;

We are in the process of changing the website. Accidentally I sent you a &amp;quot;test&amp;quot; message yesterday, so it is possible that the only message you have is the one from me. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can check it by clicking on &amp;quot;log in to check your private messages&amp;quot;. You will find it just below the title of &amp;quot;PolishOrigins Forum&amp;quot;.</description>

                                      As you have noticed we updated, or actually launched, a new website. The functionality of the Forum doesn't change at all for members using it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, as it is always in such new technology implementation there are temporary issues which have to be addressed for the website to function in its full potential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please forgive us all the current glitches. We are intensely working on them with our web developers.</description>

                                      So, I guess I didn't make my point clear.  I definitely appreciate all everyone does on Polish Origins.  I would never take this precious gift for granted!  But my questions are these:  Is someone going to be able to translate my request?  Do I have to re-upload it again?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks,&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
You might read it here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=13011#13011&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=13011#13011&lt;/a&gt; or here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?t=1814&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?t=1814&lt;/a&gt; or in the daily email digest you received to your email account on that day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width=&quot;90%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;All Polska wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;quote&quot;&gt;It just so happened that I just for the first time ever submitted something to be translated &amp;amp; it was a regular size book's page.  It is very ornate with scrolls on top, a paragraph &amp;amp; then a list of names on the bottom.  I was told it was a list of students from a school in Poland with one of my family member's names.  The only word I can guess is Amerikus, which I assume is America.  So I have no idea how to pick a part to be translated. &lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, if there is no way for you to figure out which part of a scan is relevant to your family search you just ask for translation of the whole page. However, in case of typical birth, marriage or death records we can precisely point, or better yet, cut the part of a page with surname of our interest which we want to be translated. This is way we save a little bit time for figuring this out and eyes of our generous translators. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's try to help them, even a little bit, in their wonderful, generous and precious work of translating hundreds of, often so hard to decipher, records &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_exclaim.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Exclamation&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;</description>

                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      I don't know where exactly I read it, but it was on this forum.  It just so happened that I just for the first time ever submitted something to be translated &amp;amp; it was a regular size book's page.  It is very ornate with scrolls on top, a paragraph &amp;amp; then a list of names on the bottom.  I was told it was a list of students from a school in Poland with one of my family member's names.  The only word I can guess is Amerikus, which I assume is America.  So I have no idea how to pick a part to be translated.  At one time I could begin to spell each word &amp;amp; my mom would finish the spelling &amp;amp; tell me what it said and how to pronounce it in Polish.  However, she's had several mini strokes &amp;amp; doesn't remember much &amp;amp; gets confused.  Once I read an e-mail from you, I delete it and /or save it.  So I can't be more specific &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_sad.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Sad&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
Today, those of you who are registered to our PolishOrigins Forum received an e-mail entitled: 'You have been added to this usergroup'. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our members group has been becoming larger and larger and, for technical reasons, we had to reorganize list of our subscribers. This is why some of you received this e-mail for the second time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;I want to apologize any of you who felt irritated by this e-mail in any way&lt;/span&gt;. You can unsubscribe from this group, which we send special notice emails about updates on the PolishOrigins.com, by replying to the e-mail received and simply putting 'unsubscribe' in the subject line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a few a days you will receive a new e-mail about launching our new online tool which we named Polish Genealogy Databases.</description>
