Post subject: Biala Woda - Witkowska, Wasilewski
Still searching for information about my dad's grandmother, who told us her village was Biala Woda (white water) in northeastern Poland. Her name was Michalena Witkowska daughter of Antoni Witkowski and Rosalia Pietrowicz, baptized in Jeleniewo parish.
Married Franciszek Wasilewski, son of ? Wasilewski and Josefata Tombek. Immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1911, with daughter Janina.
Any help gratefully received.

Jeleniewo parish records are available online but you have to tell me when your grandmother was born approximately
some sources say Biała Woda belonged to Suwałki parish
i understand that we are talking about romancatholic religion?
So, you have to tell me when Janina was born and when the marriate was taken and when Michalina was born, approximately at least.

Thank you so much.
My grandmother's birthday was 25 Sept 1885. Her birth record gives the place as Burdeniszki in Wigry parish but she always said her village was Biała Woda. In another record, her birthplace is listed as "Jelniewa Bosnia".
She married Francizek Wasilewski sometime before 1910. Their daughter Janina was born approx. August 1910 (based on their immigration records) My grandmother Czeslawa (we called her Jessie) was actually conceived in Poland but born in the US in Jan. 1912 (and she really did have a foot in each country metaphorically her whole life).
Immigration 1911: SS Cassel dep Breme July 12, 1911
Arrived Philadelphia July 25, 1911
Franciszek Wasilewsky, 27 yrs, farm laborer; blonde, 5’ 7” gray eyes
Michalena, 26 yrs, housewife, 5 feet tall, blonde, gray eyes
Janina, 11 months, blue eyes
Residence looks like Bilbinova, Suwalki
Relative in Poland – Josefata Washilewska nee Tombek
I have tried to find more in the LDS films but could not read the records which were in Cyrillic.
Thank you so much for your help.

in Your first post You wrote Michalina was baptised in Jeleniewo parish, in next post You wrote her birth records says she was born in Wigry parish.....
You have to send all documents. I need to look at everything
i found You grandmother birth record in Wigry parish, 1881
Burdyniszki
172
It happened in Wigry on the 17th/29th day of September 1881 at 3 p.m.
Appeared Antoni Witkowski, farmer living in the village Burdyniszki, 42 years old in the presence of the witnesses Andrzej Stankiewicz, 55 years old and Franciszek Pietkiewicz, 57 years old, both farmers living in the village Burdyniszki and they presented us a female child informing that the child was born in the village Burdyniszki on the 13th/25th day of September of the current year with his legal wife Rozalia nee Pietrewicz, 42 years old.
At the holy Baptism held today by the priest Wincenty Kaunas the child was given the name Michalina and the godparents were: Marcin Wasilewski and Feliksa Biegańska.
This act was read aloud to the declarant and the witnesses, all illiterate and signed by us
priest I. Śnieczkus, Wigry parish administrator.
Biała Woda is not far from the Wigry so i think Your grandmother could live there before she left Poland.

Damn, are you working as an archivist for the Catholic Church?
Because you're always finding historical documents with insane speed. I should go and ask my grandparents stuff about our family's history so that I won't have registered on here for nothing.
