Ute, Thank you very much for taking the time to translate the records I found that I did not know what they said. My descendants on my father's side came from Poland/West Prussia. They were Pohlmann and Neumann, Diabelec and Kontny which came to the USA to Chicago, IL in the 1880's. They would be my Great Grandparents.

Thanks again
Ken

You're welcome, Ken, I'm glad I was able to help. The names Pohlmann and Neumann are definitely German.
Good luck in your further research.
Ute

Ken,
I finally got around translating this record for you. This is a birth record in German for a girl named Franziska.
Nr. 55
Gr.-Bislaw [= Groß-Bislaw/Gross-Bislaw), 14 March 1878
In front of signatory registrar today appeared Brigitte Suchomka, née Rozczyniala, female resident of Klonowo, personally known to me, of Catholic faith, to announce that Elisabeth Kontna, unmarried daughter, of Catholic faith, residing in Klonowo at the home of the person announcing the birth, on 7 March 1878 in the afternoon at 3 p.m gave birth to a female child named Franziska.
Read, approved, and signed with three crosses due to illiteracy of the person announcing the birth.
The Registrar ...

Ken, this seems to be a church book entry for a Catholic marriage of a member of the Diabalec family. I can read "matrimonio copulati" at he beginning and some other words, but I'm not familiar with Latin and will not be able to reliably translate it for you. Perhaps there's somebody out there who has experience in translating Latin church book entries and can help you with it.

Okay, Ken, it was hard to read, but I think I got it. Here is the translation for you:
No. 140
[place name illegible] 12 Aug 1878
In front of signatory registrar today appeared the charcoal maker Johannes Diabelletz [or Diabellek] (Diabelec), a resident of Truttnowo, personally known to me, of Catholic faith, to announce that Catharina Diabelec, née Stadelska[?] , his wife, of Catholic faith, residing with him at his home in Truttnowo, on 10 Aug of the year 1878 in the afternoon at 4 p.m. gave birth to a male child named Lorenz.
Read, approved, and signed Jan Diabelec
The Registrar …

I'm not 100% sure about the name of the place: what I'm reading is Truttnowo (there was a Truttnowo in West-Prussia).

Hope that helps.
Ute

Ken, it's a birth certificate for a child named Lorenz, the language is German. I can translate it for you, but it's hard to read all the details. Can you upload a better scan?
