Hello Everyone,

First off, thank you for setting up and maintaining this website! It's given me hope that one day I might be able to extend my maternal family tree to before around 1910, which is about the time my Polish forbearers first entered the United States.

My mother's maternal grandmother was born in Baranach/Barany/Barane (depending on the document). Her spouse (my mother's maternal grandfather was born in Benczkowo/Bekiowo/Bęćkowo (depending on the document). I believe that these are villages very close to Szczuczyn, Grajevo County, Podlaskie but I'm not 100% sure.

Both these places show up on map 47 of the ipgs.us website and are within a few miles of Szczuczyn. Bęćkowo is still on the map. Barany no longer is on the map.

Could you provide any advice on how to proceed?

I have found their marriage record:

Bęćkowo
and
Barany

Anastazja Dobrzeniewska, a miss, 18 years old, living with her parents of the farm, in the village Barany, born in Barany, daughter of spouses: Franciszek Dobrzeniecki and Józefa Dobrzeniecka nee Gorska.

This marriage was preceded by the 3 banns of marriage announced in Szczuczyn parish on: 9th/22nd April, 16th/29th April and 23rd April/6th May of the current year.
