Katarzyna's parents are Andrzej and Rozalia Stec.  The record also states: &amp;quot;atque hortulani&amp;quot; which means they were also peasants who owned a cottage and sufficient land for a garden but not for farm fields.  The reason it states &amp;quot;atque/also&amp;quot; is because the record also states that Sebastian's parents were hortulani.&lt;br /&gt;

Hello If someone not to busy ,&lt;br /&gt;
If I could get a translation of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scan 11 1830 Feb 14 house # 126 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scan 22 1836 Feb 8 house # 124 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Al&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Al,&lt;br /&gt;
The first link refers refers to a record written in Latin, and Notes in Polish. You should post in &amp;quot;Latin records translation&amp;quot; topic of the forum.&lt;br /&gt;
The second link does not lead to Scan 22 1836 Feb 8 house # 124. If in Polish, post it in &amp;quot;Polish Records Translation&amp;quot; topic.&lt;br /&gt;

I have Magdalena's maidian name as Gontorska will go back and check spelling and do some double checking . thank you &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Al&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oops, my fault: the tailed 'a' is the first one,not the second. Therefore, Gątarski is the polish spelling. Sounds Gontarski. The ending -a is the feminine form of the name.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Andrew's birth record is found in scan 65 of births in the link Gilberto provided so he was born in Pstragowo.  Attached is a crop of the record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Best of luck in your research.&lt;br /&gt;

                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      Hello &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My grandfather Francis J Janicki 1918-1977. This Father Andrew Janicki 1879 -1956, Arrival in US 1905, married 1909 to Valeria C Stezempek in Central Falls Rhode Island from the 1910 census they were from Austria/Poland possible from Pstragowo, Podkarpackie. Pstrągowa is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Czudec, within Strzyżów County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland. From his death certificate the spelling is off strongowa so taking a shot at this village.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Andrew's Father was Joseph Janicki.All I have on Joseph Janicki is that his wife name was Madelena or Magdalina (Mary) Gontorska . &lt;br /&gt;
Any help would be great Thank you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
