                                      Thank you very much! So interesting that Benedykt was a moneylender for such a long time, 1805-1811. As well, seems that the two Calkowicz lended the same amount of money. interesting.</description>

There a indexes of names and records of several types. As there a lot of information, I would like to understand whether to genealogical point of view can be useful. &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_smile.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Smile&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
in such documents there are various notary documents. Pre-marital contracts, purchase and sale contracts. All such documents contain a lot of detailed information. If you are interested in a particular matter then you must know the year or type of document you are looking for and the names of the people for whom these documents were created.</description>
