I just want to say a huge thank you to both Gilberto and Elzbieta for translating the wedding record for my 3X great-grandparents Jan Styzej and Katarzyna Stefaniak. It is so wonderful to be able to verify that I was correct in some of my translating, but even better to learn the complete translation of the document! Also, thank you Elzbieta for the map. That was such a wonderful, unexpected addition to the translation. I knew these little villages/towns were all near Bychawa but had not been able to view a good map. One question, though, is that there are two Zdrapy's listed on the map and one is much closer to Bychawa. How do we tell which one is the correct one? Anyways, thank you so much! I really appreciate your help, both of you

Hi Beth,

Typed (I added blanc lines for lisibility, and diacritics only in names - too slow to type Polish on my French keyboard) and translated, map added.

Best,
