Post subject: Braciszewski family from Slawno, Poznan.
Trying to trace ancestors from Buffalo NY back to Poznan, Slawno,Poland.
Martinus Braciszewski married Caecilia Koteras in 1849.They were 25,26 years old.
Cecylia,a widow came to buffalo in 1883 with her 16 yo son,Martin,my g-grandfather.Lived on Coit St. in Buffalo and Martin's children,Jake and John were baptized from the Transfiguration Church.
Also,St. Stanislaus church was nearest to Coit St.,so I'm wondering if any death records for Cecylia may be there..
If anyone knows how to find any info on their home town in Poland,please e-mail me at [email protected] as I plan a trip there in the near future. Thanks !

Hi Diedre,
It took me awhile to figure out the location of my ancestral home, but I eventually did before I went to Poland. It made my trip so much more meaningful to be able to go to the village where my family actually lived.
Is this your posting at ancestry?

It would be helpful if you could provide more details on this PolishOrigins forum so that readers here can help you without repeating what others wrote at ancestry.com. There is a wonderful group of members here who are very helpful and I trust that you will get several good leads soon.
I think it would be most helpful to state where you located the information that you already have.
Good luck! I would love to hear about your trip once you visit Poland!

I got the marriage info at The Poznan Project online,my g- g-grandfather and g- g-grandmother were married in a Catholic parish in Slawno,in 1849,but that's about all that I know of location in Poland.They list so many towns,but I have no idea of which one it might be.
I e-mailed St. Stanislaus Church in buffalo several months ago for information,but they still haven't got back to me.
I don't know who holds the records for the Transfiguration Church since it closed,so I'm kind of at a dead end for now. I suppose I should take a look at some church's microfilm and old newspapers at the Buffalo library .

Good Morning
The Mormon Church has microfilmed the parish records for Transfiguration Churc in Baffulo, Erie County, New York along with many other churches from Buffalo. I might suggest you go to your local family history center and order these. Jim Tye _________________ kurpie21
