Hello Trish, hello Barb,

Thank you both very much — this is really helpful.

Barb: the parish I meant is Różana (Ружаны, Słonim district), not Różanka. The baptism I read is on FamilySearch film 007765701, image 783: Kazimierz, son of Jakub and Zuzanna Chmielewski, of Jundziłowicze, baptised 17 Oct. 1806. In Paris (1841 marriage) his mother is called "Zoska" (Zofia), so the identification is still only a hypothesis. A Jakub Chmielewski died at Jundziłowicze on 18 Aug. 1818, aged 46. Known children of Casimir in Paris: Charles-Casimir (died Saint-Gratien, Val-d'Oise, 1892), Alexandre-Alphonse-Paul (1859-?), Hélène, and others, by his wife Pauline Carchon.

Trish: thank you for Eustachy (parents Józef Chmielewski and Rozalia Karpińska) and for the 1856 census of Saint-Prix. Different parents, so not a brother of Casimir — but Saint-Prix is right next to Saint-Gratien, where Casimir's son died in 1892, so a cousin is still possible.

Would either of you know whether the Różana registers 1795-1815 contain other children of Jakub and Zuzanna, or someone who works on the Różana / Słonim parishes?

Best regards,
Henri

Hi Henri,

The Eustache Chmielewski was born in 1811. His parents were Jozef Chmielewski and Rozalia Karpinska.

Here is his birth record on family search.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSMW-ZCMQ-L?i=979&cat=834700&lang=en&groupId=4166194

Here is the source from Geneteka.

I did see Eustache Chmielewski in an 1856 census in France. I posted the census record.

I'm a bit confused by your wording. Do you mean you already have the actual document for the marriage and death of Kazimierz? If you do not have the actual copy of the document, I can post them for you.

I did find another child of Kazimierz.

Hi Barb and Trish,

Thank you both so much for looking! Yes, that is the entry I meant: Różana parish, born 17.10.1806 at Jundziłowicze, son of Jakub and Zuzanna, godparents Teodor Leonczyk and Katarzyna Krokwicz (LVIA copy, FamilySearch image 782). Its weak point is the mother's name: in Paris his parents are given as Jakub and "Zoska" (Zofia), not Zuzanna.

Trish, which record do you see on Ancestry? His death (Paris, 18 March 1868) and his marriage (Paris, 23 December 1841) are known to me, but if you have found anything from the Polish side (other children of Jakub and Zuzanna, Jakub's death at Jundziłowicze in 1818, or an émigré list), I would be very grateful for the reference.

Other family: wife Pauline-Alexandrine Carchon; children Casimir (b. Paris 1842), Hélène (1850), Alexandre-Alphonse-Paul (1859). A possible relative: Eustachy Chmielewski, b. c. 1811 at Dereczyn, NCO in 1831, in Paris 1843-1857.

Warm regards from Paris,
Henri

Hello!

My ancestor Kazimierz (Casimir) CHMIELEWSKI, born about 1800-1810 "in Grodno", son of Jakub and Zofia ("Zoska"), emigrated to France after the 1831 uprising, married in Paris in 1841 and died there in 1868.

A Różana baptism (17 Oct. 1806, son of Jakub and Zuzanna; FamilySearch film 007765701, image 783) might be his. Does anyone know Różana / Jundziłowicze records, or lists of 1831 émigrés where he could appear (with his unit or home parish)?

Any story about the Chmielewski family there is welcome too. Thank you!

Hi Henri and Barb,

Barb, here is the link from family search for Kazimierz. Kazimierz is on the right side of the page - 4th one down from the top.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSMW-Z9PY-J?cat=koha%3A688019&view=explore&lang=en&groupId=M9MN-HKC

Henri, do you need the death or marriage record for Kaziimierz? I see the actual record on ancestry.com. I can get it for you if you need it.

Regards,
Trish
