Post subject: 1861 Mejszagola communion list help/search
Dear PO friends
While skimming through the LDS microfilms I found a list from Mejszagola parish from 1861 of those apparently who received the sacrament of Holy Communion (Made their Easter Duty in 1861). I am looking for my Dowiat(t) ancestors who were from this parish.
The family patriarch Bartlomiej Dowiat died in 1839 however there should be a son Nikodem who I know was alive in 1861 because he took part in the January uprising and was exiled to Siberia. His mother Aniela (Romanowska) Dowiat (from evidence I found) was born in the early 1800's and as of 1847 was still alive, however she could have possibly passed in the years between 1848 and 1861.
So the two names to look for are Nikodem Dowiat and his mother the widow Aniela Dowiat (She is not listed as remarried as of 1847 either).
I know these lists usually have the names of the villages as headers. The two villages most likely they would have inhabited are:
Pojodzie (where the family was living in 1840 census).
Zablocie (where a number of the children were born in the 1830's).
Gierwaty (The village a daughter Julia was listed as being from in her 1859 marriage. She was 25 years old at the time)
To anyone who can look for me I appreciate this so much. This can greatly help me determine who was aliveand potentialy married at the time of 1861 in the Dowiat family.
