I'm already find information about my relatives - when and where they born and even died, but I can't find anything about their children's and grandchildrens.

Hi Aleksandra,
If someone was born after 1920, it is not possible to find such documents online.

Hi Aleksandra,
Welcome to the forum!

It looks like this may be a difficult case. At the moment, it is impossible to send inquiries to Russian archives because banks do not allow payments to Russia due to the restrictions related to the war in Ukraine. In addition, I am not entirely sure what kind of information you are looking for. Is it Władysława Wiśniewska, born on May 8th, 1891, in Warszawa, that you would like to learn more about?
Could you explain a little more?
Do you know approximately when she left Poland and moved to St. Petersburg?
Did she get married in Poland?
When and where was her daughter Olga born?
Are St. Petersburg and Human the only certain places to search? I am asking because the distance between these places is around 2000 km.

I know that Ignacy and Agnieszka had more children than the ones you listed. They married in 1889, so I believe there were more children.
1890 – Stanisława, Warszawa
1891 – Władysława, Warszawa
1892 – Marta, Garbacz
.
.
1903 – Ignacy, Ovinsko, Riga Region? Do you have his birth record?
1905 – Helena, Owińska
1909 – Zofia, Ovinsko, Riga Region? Do you have her birth record?
.
1914 – Józef, Warszawa

And one small correction: Agnieszka Winowicz was born on January 2nd, 1865, in the village of Przemysławów, which belonged to the parish of Rusocice. Ignacy Wiśniewski was born on June 8th, 1867, in Lipno.

Hi Barb,

Hello.

My name is Aleksandra, and I am writing on behalf of my friend Olga.

My friend has been trying for many years to find relatives in Poland and to trace her family connections.

From what is known, Vladislava Wishnevskaya’s great-grandmother left Poland for St. Petersburg, where she got married and gave birth to Olga’s grandmother; Vladislava’s family was against this marriage, and contact with the family was severed. Then they (Vladislava and her daughter) immediately left for Ukraine, to the city of Uman. Her great-grandmother kept in touch and even traveled to Warsaw once, but after that letter, contact with relatives was lost.

Information that has come to light

Mother - Agnieszka Wiśniewska, née Winnowicz, daughter of Stanisław, born in 1865 in the town of Turek, Poznań Voivodeship.

Father—Ignacy Wiśniewski, son of Michał, born in 1866 in the town of Lipno, Warsaw Voivodeship.

Sister—Stanisława Rybczyńska (née Wiśniewska), daughter of Ignacy, born in 1890 in Warsaw, resided in Aleksandrów Łucki, 9 Stalingradskaya Street.

Sister - Zofia Wiśniewska, daughter of Ignacy, born in 1909 in Ovinsko, Riga Region

Brother - Ignacy Wiśniewski, son of Ignacy, born in 1903 in Owińsk, Riga Region. He worked at the power plant in Żerón and lived in Warsaw at 5 Strzelecka Street.

Brother - Józef Wiśniewski, son of Ignacy, born in 1914 in Warsaw. He worked as an engineer at a radio repair shop and lived at 11 Vilenska Street, Warsaw.

Variations of the surname: Wiśniewska, Wisniewska, Wiszniewska.

I would be grateful for any information or assistance.
