I am unable to open the we page that you linked to above, for the records from Piotrkow Kujawski. Do you know if the link is correct, or if there is some other problem with the site?&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seems I inserted a comma at the end. &lt;br /&gt;
Try &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.genealogiawarchiwach.pl/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://www.genealogiawarchiwach.pl/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I don't think I realized that there was a Piotrkow Kujawski. That may be more likely, and might establish the kinship to the Joseph that you mention. He is my 2X great uncle and we are hoping to see if he was the father of Ignacy. Ignacy in turn is the father of Wladislaw who was an AK rifleman who took part in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising. We believe we are likely related (Zrabkowski name not that common) and are trying to establish the connection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So all that to say, I guess I should be looking in Piotrkow Kujawski instead &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_smile.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Smile&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was that marriage record translated? It might reveal important information.&lt;br /&gt;

If you don't mind double checking me that would be great- the name is Ignacy Zrabkowski. His parents's first names should be Josef and Antonina. It is possible that Ignacy was born in 1872- I extrapolated the date from the age on his marriage record (age 34 in March 1907.) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for the offer- I compared the Cyrillic writing of his name on the marriage record and didn't think there was a match but I could be wrong.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think I have found his marriage record, in Warsaw, All Saints church, because the parents are Jozef and Antonina, in &lt;a href=&quot;http://metryki.genealodzy.pl/metryka.php?ar=8&amp;amp;zs=9264d&amp;amp;sy=331&amp;amp;kt=1&amp;amp;skan=295.jpg#zoom=1&amp;amp;x=0&amp;amp;y=0&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://metryki.genealodzy.pl/metryka.php?ar=8&amp;amp;zs=9264d&amp;amp;sy=331&amp;amp;kt=1&amp;amp;skan=295.jpg#zoom=1&amp;amp;x=0&amp;amp;y=0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If it is this one, I see Piotrkow written there, but I don't know if it refers to Piotrkow Trybunalski, which is in lodzkie woj. or to Piotrkow Kujawski in kujawsko-pomorskie. It is interesting to see that Geneteka lists a Jozef Zrabkowski born in 1843, Polajewo, 6 miles away from Piotrkow Kujawski. If this Jozef married about 1865 or so, he could be Ignacy's father.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Piotrkow Kujawski records for year around 1873 are available on line in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.genealogiawarchiwach.pl,&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://www.genealogiawarchiwach.pl,&lt;/a&gt; though it is the most complicated website I have ever seen.&lt;br /&gt;
