                                      &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;deidre wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;quote&quot;&gt;I'm looking for the origin and meaning of Braciszewski surname.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Braciszewski &lt;/span&gt; is from Polish &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic&quot;&gt;brat, bracia (pl) &lt;/span&gt;- brother, brothers or from the name place &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic&quot;&gt;Braciszewo.&lt;/span&gt; Also appears in ancient dithematic names such as [i]Bratumił[/i.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2002 there were 518 people using the surname Braciszewski (men) or Barciszewska (women) living in Poland. Detailed map of the surname distribution  can be found here &lt;a href=&quot;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Braciszewski&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://nazwiska-polskie.pl/Braciszewski&lt;/a&gt; . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 19th century there was one noble Braciszewski family coat of arms Zagłoba from Braciszewo in Łomża region.&lt;br /&gt;
&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;deidre wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;quote&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 I was wondering what the ending &amp;quot;-ego &amp;quot; means.&lt;br /&gt;
I received an e-mail from the Archiwum Panstwowe in Poznan,the name of my gggrandfather, was Martina Braciszewskiego.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our beautiful Polish language grammar again &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_exclaim.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Exclamation&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; The ending &amp;quot;-ego&amp;quot; is used in accusative form sentences, for example &amp;quot;son of Martin Braciszewski&amp;quot; in Polish will be &amp;quot;syn Marcin&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;a&lt;/span&gt; Braciszewski&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;ego&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;

Are there any Roman Catholic parishes there? I guess that's where he was baptized.Is it anywhere near Slawno ?&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is six Debnicas in present-day Poland but &amp;quot;yours&amp;quot; is most probably this one on the map here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/aZYOlO&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/aZYOlO&lt;/a&gt; . And yes, in this Debnica there was the parish seat.&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;deidre wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;quote&quot;&gt;Thank you if you can give me any info,I do appreciate it.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope it will help a little.</description>

                                      Yes, I did the the original info from Poznan project.&lt;br /&gt;
I contacted an LDS church near me and asked their family center if I could order those microfilms. The numbers which I needed are also on the Poznan Project,by dates;B/M/D.etc.&lt;br /&gt;
So I plan on going there to order them,but you have to view them at the LDS Church. &lt;br /&gt;
Next,if I didn't get any results,I'd send for the info in Poland from Archiwum Panstwowe and we'll see what happens !</description>

                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      Would these &amp;quot;documents&amp;quot; be different than what you can get from the Mormon Library? I know the &amp;quot;Poznan Project&amp;quot; says there is film available. I'm hoping to go up to Salt Lake City in the next few weeks to see for myself what's available before I write to the Archives in Poznan. I would guess all you can get is a marriage certificate, birth etc. right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&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;deidre wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;quote&quot;&gt;I e-mailed poznan.ap.gov.pl  and got the response from Stefan Olejniczak,solejniczak@poznan.ap.gov.pl.&lt;br /&gt;
I think it was July and received the response on aug. 15th&lt;br /&gt;
The e-mail was in Polish,so I need to get someone to translate.&lt;br /&gt;
From what I can tell it asks for $29  for documents for marriage docs of my ggrandfather Martin  &lt;br /&gt;
Braciszewski and wife Cecylia Koteras in 1849 and another  of Cecylia's birth 1822.Also mentions ,Slawno and Debnica.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;</description>

     &lt;br /&gt;
     Post that reply here and there are several people that can translate it for you..  (sorry, I can't)&lt;br /&gt;
     That's about the right price for those documents.      &lt;br /&gt;
     EZA has a fixed fee a bit more than that, and additional copying charges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     I also tell others about my writing to some archive in Belarus and getting a reply after 3 months asking for $300 to be sent &lt;br /&gt;
     to someone I did NOT write to!  Nothing was described what I'd get,  just the &amp;quot;send the money to ..&amp;lt;his&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

                                      I'm interested in your email from Poznan. What is the email address? How long did it take you? Etc.... Were you specifically looking for the name of your grandfather in your request? Etc. etc.  Thanks...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
 I'm looking for the origin and meaning of Braciszewski surname. I was wondering what the ending &amp;quot;-ego &amp;quot; means. &lt;br /&gt;
I received an e-mail from the Archiwum Panstwowe in Poznan,the name of my gggrandfather, was Martina Braciszewskiego.&lt;br /&gt;
Also,where is Debnica ? Are there any Roman Catholic parishes there? I guess that's where he was baptized.Is it anywhere near Slawno ?&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you if you can give me any info,I do appreciate it.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;</description>
