Hi Mbierbaum,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don't know if you were aware of a daughter of Alkesander Ekiert and Marianna Strzala. Here is the link from Geneteka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maria Ekiert born in 1908. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://geneteka.genealodzy.pl/index.php?op=gt&amp;amp;lang=pol&amp;amp;bdm=B&amp;amp;w=12sl&amp;amp;rid=B&amp;amp;search_lastname=ekiert&amp;amp;search_name=al&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://geneteka.genealodzy.pl/index.php?op=gt&amp;amp;lang=pol&amp;amp;bdm=B&amp;amp;w=12sl&amp;amp;rid=B&amp;amp;search_lastname=ekiert&amp;amp;search_name=al&lt;/a&gt;*&amp;amp;search_lastname2=&amp;amp;search_name2=&amp;amp;from_date=&amp;amp;to_date=&amp;amp;rpp1=&amp;amp;ordertable=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is information on a son of Franciszek Strzala and Urszula Chybowska.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dominik Strzala born in 1908.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://geneteka.genealodzy.pl/index.php?op=gt&amp;amp;lang=pol&amp;amp;bdm=B&amp;amp;w=12sl&amp;amp;rid=B&amp;amp;search_lastname=Strza%C5%82a&amp;amp;search_name=fran&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://geneteka.genealodzy.pl/index.php?op=gt&amp;amp;lang=pol&amp;amp;bdm=B&amp;amp;w=12sl&amp;amp;rid=B&amp;amp;search_lastname=Strza%C5%82a&amp;amp;search_name=fran&lt;/a&gt;*&amp;amp;search_lastname2=chy*&amp;amp;search_name2=ur*&amp;amp;from_date=&amp;amp;to_date=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dominik Strzala died in 1909.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://geneteka.genealodzy.pl/index.php?op=gt&amp;amp;lang=pol&amp;amp;bdm=D&amp;amp;w=12sl&amp;amp;rid=D&amp;amp;search_lastname=Strza%C5%82a&amp;amp;search_name=fran&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://geneteka.genealodzy.pl/index.php?op=gt&amp;amp;lang=pol&amp;amp;bdm=D&amp;amp;w=12sl&amp;amp;rid=D&amp;amp;search_lastname=Strza%C5%82a&amp;amp;search_name=fran&lt;/a&gt;*&amp;amp;search_lastname2=chy*&amp;amp;search_name2=ur*&amp;amp;from_date=&amp;amp;to_date=&amp;amp;rpp1=&amp;amp;ordertable=&lt;br /&gt;

Warpie&lt;br /&gt;
Nr 215&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It happened in the town of Będzin, on October 28th/November 10th, 1907, at 5 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We make it known that in the presence of the witnesses, Antoni Ekiert and Marcel Żarnowiecki, workers from Warpie, both of age, a religious marriage was concluded on this day, between:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aleksander Ekiert, a single man, a worker, a reserve soldier, a son of Julian and Józefa nee Wilman, who was born in Maleszowa, living in Warpie, 25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marianna Strzała, a miss, a daughter of Franciszek and Urszula nee Chybowska, who was born in Sokołów and living in Warpie at her parents', 17 years old.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
this marriage was preceded by the three banns of marriage, announced in the local parish church, on: October 7th/20th, October 14th/27th and October 21st/November 3rd of the current year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bride's parents, who were present at drafting the marriage act, gave their oral permission for this marriage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The newlyweds declared they did not enter into the prenuptial agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The religious marriage ceremony was performer by the priest Lucjan Kowalski, the local parish vicar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This act was read to the present, and due to their illiteracy it was signed by Us only.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
