I hate to muddy the water, but it might also be Piszkiewicz. I have a lot of ancestral relations with the name Piszkiewicz...which was often spelled wrong by census takers and others.

Wincenty's last name

Thank you all for your help. I've been leaning towards the name Paczkiewicz.

Don,

Line 5 seems to be Jozef Paszkowski, (Paszkowcki - "c" - ki at the end is too weird) which let me think, that the scribe was writing "c" and "s" in a very similar way.

Then: Wincenty Paszkiewicz.
There is almost 6000 Paszkiewicz in today Poland, only 1 Paczkiewicz, and 50 Pączkiewicz (a ogonek)

Best,
Elzbieta

Looking at the style of the first letter of the 5 words in line vertically starting with Palinski, I see the next starting with R, then Paczkiewicz, then Russia, then P again. ~PL

Could someone give me correct spelling of Wincenty's last name.

Many thanks,
Don

Could also be Boszkiewicz or Roszkiewicz.

I read it as Reskiewicz (actually Reszkiewicz). Or Pleskiewicz.
