&lt;br /&gt;
That’s it! Thank you so much! And many thanks to you Barb for all of your efforts and clues. It really does take a village sometimes to dig into these brick walls. Sophia, I just found additional Canadian and US documents that confirm this location. Also good to know the Polish spelling of his surname! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you again - you ladies are super-sleuths!&lt;br /&gt;

                                      Thanks, Barb, I do turn to it now and again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would just add, Cynthia, that you might reconsider looking at the parish in Świeciechów.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is a link to a birth of Andrzej Sobka (note the small change in spelling of the surname) in 1889. I cannot read Russian, so I cannot tell if the birth date is 23 November, but I can see that his father is Szczepan. It is Akt #132.&lt;br /&gt;

                                      What a wonderful resource, Sophia. Then it looks like it is the parish of Gora Pulawska. Located about 9 km. from Anielin.</description>

                                      Hi,&lt;br /&gt;
I called 4 times, and each time I was connected to a new person. Nobody was able to answer me. When the fourth said I could check it online I was irritated. I asked simple questions, and they didn't know anything about Anielin. Will call again tomorrow. They promised to look into it.&lt;br /&gt;

                                      Thanks Barb…. Kind of you to offer. Also ask where I can find the 1888-89 birth records for Anielin, Pulowy, Lublin…. In case the church doesn’t want to get involved.&lt;br /&gt;

                                      Hi Sophia,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for your reply…. Again not sure that is the correct parish. Andrzej was born in Anielin in Pulawy county Lublin.&lt;br /&gt;
The link you provided doesn’t seem to be in that county of Lublin… unless I am missing something in reading it… quite possible…&lt;br /&gt;

Hi Cynthia,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like Świeciechów:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://prawno.diecezja.lublin.pl/Inne/parafie.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://prawno.diecezja.lublin.pl/Inne/parafie.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

All the best, &lt;br /&gt;

                                      Hei Cynthia,&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like it is parish St. Józef Oblubieniec in Zarzecze.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      Hi,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Can someone please help me locate the correct parish church for &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anielin, Puławy County, Lublin&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am searching for the birth / baptismal record for Andrzej Sopka, born 23 Nov 1888-89. Father is Szczepan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I can’t find it in any of the databases, so I think I will need to contact either the parish or the archives.&lt;br /&gt;
. &lt;br /&gt;
Thanks,&lt;br /&gt;
