Reply with quote

Hello my name is Samuel,

I'm mapping my entire family tree and looking for records of my ancestors.

My first ancentral who went from Poland to Brazil was called Wicenty Tomkielski. However, he was 13 years old when he arrived in Brazil in 1890.

He arrived with his parents Franciszek Tomkielski and Katarzyna Wiśniewska (maiden name) and his brothers Adam, Antoni and Wladyslaw Tomkielski.

I found Vincent's baptism in Gósjk, his father's baptism and his parents' marriage in Ligowo.

Wicenty got married in Brazil to Maryanna Rychevski, also born in Poland. However, it has a lot of inconsistency in Brazilian records and I cannot find the original spelling of the surname.

I only know that she was born in 1883 and of hers most of hers were called Samuel and Carolina.

But I would like to find some voting title record, military card, school record, work record.....something that proves their residency.

Can you please clarify this sentence?
Do You know anything else about Marianna?

I live 10 km close to Gójsk.

In the case of Maryanna Rychevski, I mean that I found several records of her with variations in her surname writing like (Riczeski, Rychevski, Richoteski, Richotski and Richetski). I have no idea where she might have come from.
The only information I have in an official Brazilian document is her date of birth: 1883 and her parents' names Samuel and Carolina. But I don't know what their names are in Poland. For example, Mariana in Brazil is Maria.

Who was born in Gósjk was Wicenty. From him I found the baptism in Russian digitized on the My Family Search Org website.

I also found Wicenty's mother (Katarzyna Wiśniewska) and father (Franciszek Tomkielski) marriage certificate and baptisms on My Family Search Org. Both were born and married in Ligowo.

The baptism of Vicente's father is in Polônes. But his mother's baptism and marriage certificate I don't know what language it's in.

What I really need is a record that proves their past residency, such as voting title record, military card, school record, work record......something that proves their residency.



Below is the link to scanned documents that can give more details. I don't know the language and I don't understand what is written.

Hi Samuel,

All the documents you posted are from what in 19th Century Partitioned Poland was the region controlled by Russia. The area was known as The Kingdom of Poland (Polish: Królestwo Polskie). It was not an independent country and the Czar of Russia was technically the king. A rule of thumb for anyone not familiar with the languages used in birth, marriage, and death records from the period is that from 1807 until 1868 the records were in Polish. From 1868 until the end of WWI the records were in Russian, written in the Cyrillic Alphabet. The good thing about the records you have found from 1868 on is that the names of the main persons in the record are first written in Russian followed by the names in Polish. Records prior to 1807 were usually in Latin.

I hope this helps you make sense of what you are seeing. If you post the records in the appropriate language thread you will receive a translation into English.

You will be hard pressed to find the other types of documents you mentioned. Residents of Russian Poland could not vote. Most were peasants who were illiterate and did not attend school. The only military records would have been of men who had been conscripted into the Czar's army and may Poles of military age decided to emigrate in order to avoid that fate.

Wishing you success,

Dave

PS Samuel is the same in Latin, Polish and English. Carolina is the Latin form of her name, which is Caroline in English and Karolina in Polish.

Hi Marcel,

That would probably be helpful for Samuel if he wants to do additional research on that topic. It is his decision to make. Your offer is generous.

Oh thank you so much for the feedback.

I have been thinking. Maybe there won't be much information about Wicenty. Because he leaves Poland at 12 years old.

There must be about his parents, (Katarzyna Wiśniewska) and (Franciszek Tomkielski), as they lived most of their lives there.

Including perhaps the parents of Katarzyna Wiśniewska (Balcer Wiśniewski and Dorota Pączkowska ) and the parents of Franciszek Tomkielski (Wojciech Tomkielski and Franciszka Jechowicz) who lived and died in Poland.

Hi Dave,
I understand conscription documents may be tough to find, but if they were out there and accessible, where would one find these? And would they be worth trying to locate?
