                                      Author: &lt;a href='https://forum.polishorigins.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=6384'&gt;PabianAus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2018 8:36 am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      Step 1: Google  “Podbrodzie”&lt;br /&gt;
Podbrodzie (modern day Pabradė) is in Lithuania and can be found at map co-ordinates 54°58'59&amp;quot; N / 25°46'59&amp;quot; E.   It is about 40kms north east of Vilnius.&lt;br /&gt;
It belonged to the parish of Korkożyszki (modern day Karkažiškė, Lithuania). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.podbrodzie.info.pl/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.podbrodzie.info.pl/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are in luck that the BMD records for this parish (the Catholic parish of St Peter &amp;amp; Paul the Apostles) are accessible online at the web site    &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.epaveldas.lt&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.epaveldas.lt&lt;/a&gt;     You need to do a search on the parish of   Karkaziskes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.epaveldas.lt/paieska?p_p_id=searchresultsportlet_WAR_searchresultsportlet10SNAPSHOT&amp;amp;q=karkaziskes&amp;amp;t=1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.epaveldas.lt/paieska?p_p_id=searchresultsportlet_WAR_searchresultsportlet10SNAPSHOT&amp;amp;q=karkaziskes&amp;amp;t=1&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: the word “gimimo” refers to births, “santuokos” to marriages, and “mirties” to deaths.&lt;br /&gt;
For you grandfather’s 1895 birth certificate you would need to search through the document named “Karkažiškės RKB gimimo metrikų knyga. 1893--1898 m”  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.epaveldas.lt/object/recordDescription/ARCH/748/1/13&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.epaveldas.lt/object/recordDescription/ARCH/748/1/13&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given that this part of Poland was under Russian administration at the time, all documents are written in the Russian cursive handwriting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fortunately for you someone has gone through the document (I think) and indexed them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://geneteka.genealodzy.pl/index.php?op=gt&amp;amp;lang=eng&amp;amp;bdm=B&amp;amp;w=23lt&amp;amp;rid=3406&amp;amp;search_lastname=kozlowski&amp;amp;search_name=&amp;amp;search_lastname2=&amp;amp;search_name2=&amp;amp;from_date=&amp;amp;to_date=&amp;amp;exac=1&amp;amp;rpp1=&amp;amp;ordertable=&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://geneteka.genealodzy.pl/index.php?op=gt&amp;amp;lang=eng&amp;amp;bdm=B&amp;amp;w=23lt&amp;amp;rid=3406&amp;amp;search_lastname=kozlowski&amp;amp;search_name=&amp;amp;search_lastname2=&amp;amp;search_name2=&amp;amp;from_date=&amp;amp;to_date=&amp;amp;exac=1&amp;amp;rpp1=&amp;amp;ordertable=&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bad news is that there is no matching birth record for any Stefan Kozłowski in this parish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Happy hunting&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Where was the Stefan Kozlowski you have details for born?? I guess there are many Stefan Kozlowskis&lt;br /&gt;

he married Zofia born 15/11/1905.&lt;br /&gt;
One of STEFANS BROTHERS LEFT FOR USA BUT THEY LOST CONTACT&lt;br /&gt;
STEFAN AND ZOFIA WERE SENT TO SIBERIA WITH THEIR CHILDREN&lt;br /&gt;
MY DAD ESCAPED TO PERSIA AND THEN EVENTUALLY TO UK&lt;br /&gt;
I HAVE LITTLE DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;
MY FATHER WAS JAN KOZLOWSKI&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are you sure the place's name is spelled correctly? I have found a Stefan Kozlowski, b. 1895, in a Repressed database.&lt;br /&gt;
