I honestly have no information other than Antoni's name but my Grandmother's (his daughter) name was Albina/Alvina which could mean she was named after Balbina. Also I'm not quite sure where you see this information.  I'm sorry for asking so many stupid questions but I am new at this.  The image below is what I get when I click the SKAN icon.  Your patience with a beginner is much appreciated. &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Very Happy&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Hi,&lt;br /&gt;
Click on Digital Copies &amp;gt; select 30 as Number of pages to display.&lt;br /&gt;
Considering 4 birth records per image (usual) your record nr. 74 must be in scanned image nr 20 or 21 (the first image is the cover of the book).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you so much.  The Masculine/Feminine explanation helps me understand better.  The Klosnisky version I found on His Marriage Certificate here in the US so whoever filled it out must have made the mistake because it was the only place I have found it.  I am also  in search of Duchnoska/Duchnowska/Duchnowski for my Great-Grandmother.  Klosniski/Duchnoska are what I have for my Great-Grandparents on my Father's Mother's side and as far back as I can find at the moment.  I keep running into walls as you can see below...lol!  I found an Antoni Klosniski born 1873 which is close to the 1871 date I have for him at the link you provided although it was in a different Parish.  there is no Mother or Father listed so another brick wall.  How do you have no Mother or Father listed on a Birth???????  Family heritage research can be so interesting and so very frustrating at the same time.  I thank you again for your help &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Warmest Regards&lt;br /&gt;
Tricia&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tricia,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
by clicking on the icon SKAN you will be led to the original record.&lt;br /&gt;
This Antoni was a son of Maryan and Balbina nee Borowska.&lt;br /&gt;
Do the parents' names match?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Tricia,&lt;br /&gt;
Kłosinski or&lt;br /&gt;
Kłosiński&lt;br /&gt;
Klosinska is the feminine form for Klosinski.&lt;br /&gt;
'y' is not allowed after 'k' according to Polish grammar rules.&lt;br /&gt;
Potsk should be Płock, which can refer to the town, to the county or to what was then a province.&lt;br /&gt;
