Father of Jan is Franscisko Lewandowski Mother is Agty Wojciechowski. &lt;br /&gt;
Mother of Waleryia is Antonicyo Itczak and Elibiety (Elizabeth) Boleskich or Boleski from Bognstanwicach according to the marriage certificate I have. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were married in the Province of Lodinski (spelling maybe?) Kolskie Lybotyn. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If anyone can please help with anything on the Boleski families or Lewandowski from this area please reply. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Hi again Bobbi,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The places listed in the certificate are described according to the administrative divisions of the Republic of Poland at the time. I will list the places in terms of the current administrative divisions and attach contemporary maps showing the locations of the principal places. In terms familiar to someone living in the USA a województwo can be understood as a Province, a powiat as a county, and a gmina as a township.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is an extract from the certificate:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Place of Marriage: Parish of Lubotyń województwo: wielkopolskie, powiat: Kolski, gmina: Babiak&lt;br /&gt;
Church of Wedding: Filial parish church in Marcinkowo&lt;br /&gt;
Date of Marriage: November 6, 1921&lt;br /&gt;
Witnesses: Marcin (Martin) Kaczmarek, age 45 &amp;amp; Stanisław Lewandowski, age 35&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Groom: Jan Lewandowski, a single young man, age 24&lt;br /&gt;
Place of Birth: village of Łąki Markowe, parish of Choceń, województwo: Kujawsko-Pomorskie, powiat: Włocławski, gmina: Choceń&lt;br /&gt;
Parents: The living Franciszek (Francis/Frank) Lewandowski and the late Agata (Agatha) née Wojciechowska. Franciszek was a farmer (gospodarz)&lt;br /&gt;
Residence at time of wedding: Bogusławice&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bride: Waleria (Valerie) Idczak, a maiden, age 24&lt;br /&gt;
Place of Birth: Bogusławice województwo: wielkopolskie, powiat: Kolski, gmina Babiak &lt;br /&gt;
Parents: Antoni (Anthony) Idczak &amp;amp; Elżbieta (Elizabeth) née Boleska, farmers residing in Bogusławice&lt;br /&gt;
Residence at time of wedding: Bogusławice living with her parents&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Attached in the birth record of Jan Lewandowski (in Russian [records were required to be kept in that language from 1868 until the end of WWI]) as well as a map of powiat Kolski from 1907. Here is the link to his birth record &lt;a href=&quot;https://genealogiawarchiwach.pl/#query.type=ALL&amp;amp;query.facetQuery.date=1897&amp;amp;query.city=Choce%25C5%2584&amp;amp;query.suggestion=false&amp;amp;query.thumbnails=false&amp;amp;query.facet=true&amp;amp;query.asc=false&amp;amp;query.sortMode=PUBLICATION&amp;amp;modal=256486509&amp;amp;personTree=false&amp;amp;goComments=false&amp;amp;searcher=big&amp;amp;query.query&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://genealogiawarchiwach.pl/#query.type=ALL&amp;amp;query.facetQuery.date=1897&amp;amp;query.city=Choce%25C5%2584&amp;amp;query.suggestion=false&amp;amp;query.thumbnails=false&amp;amp;query.facet=true&amp;amp;query.asc=false&amp;amp;query.sortMode=PUBLICATION&amp;amp;modal=256486509&amp;amp;personTree=false&amp;amp;goComments=false&amp;amp;searcher=big&amp;amp;query.query&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wishing you success in your research,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
