This is another one that I find difficult. I would especially like to know if he was a widower at the time of his death. Thank you so much for all you do.

Hello Wuness,
It looks like Kociugi, a village with a population of 67 in 1871, located in the county of Fraustadt and since 1887 in the county of Lissa in Posen/Poznan.
Best
Michael

Michael: Thank you for the information. I wasn't able to find that name on any map.
While the document is handy, could you also identify the word before his name?

I have two more marriage certificates that have troublesome birthplaces. On the Jakob Bartylak document, could you identify the birth place of the husband? On the Joseph and Josepha Joswiak document, could you identify the birthplaces of both husband and wife? Thank you.

Hello Wuness
Nicolaus Borowiak was a laborer. The word in front of his name is “Arbeiter”.
Jakob Bartylak was born in Pienczkowo [Polish Pieczkowo], county Schroda, and residing in Ulejno, county Schroda. You will find Pienczkowo also as Pienschkowo or Pientschowo.
Joseph and Josepha Joswiak: Joseph was born in Wengierski [Polish Wegierskie]. He was a laborer or “Arbeiter” too. Josepha was born Chwalkowo. Both places were in the county Schroda.
Best
Michael

I have one more for you. I understood that my great grandmother Rozalia was born in Sroda. I can't translate the birthplace listed for her on the marriage certificate, but it can't be Sroda. What is it? Is the residence listed as Winna currently known as Winnagora? wuness

Hi,
I read it as Gross Jeziory. In Polish, that is Jeziory Wielkie.
It might be helpful for you to use a resource like Meyer's Gazetteer. For example,
https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10642057
Here you see Gross Jeziory is part of Kreis Schroda.
Be sure to click on the tab for "map" to see a nice historic map of Gross Jeziory. Clicking on "ecclesiastical" will get you a list of churches and their distance from that town.
If you know the way that Środa is pronounced in Polish, then you'll see you've found your town.
Winna and Winna Gora are two different places (Winna being much closer to Jeziory Wielkie).
Good luck in your research,
Sophia

Sophia: Thank you for the information on my ancestor's birthplace. I never would have found that on my own.
On the Gazetter, I looked up Rusiborz (the birthplace of another great grandparent). It listed a population of 244. I know the Gazetter covers 1871-1918, but what year is this population valid for? wuness

Hi,
I do not know the answer to your question, regarding the year in which that population was recorded. Michael may know. Also, I see that the population you cited is the one that is listed with the Rusiborz Rittergut (estate) and I hope Michael may comment on that, in contrast with the Dorf (village) of Rusiborek with its smaller population of 134 people. Rusiborek seems to be a diminutive form of Rusiborz and Meyer's Gazetteer is listing it as a colony. Surely their histories are intertwined.
Best regards,
Sophia

Hi Sophia & wuness,
Another excellent source for information on places is the Słownik geograficzny, which may help to add some focus to the population question. Here is a link to the entry for Rusibórz http://dir.icm.edu.pl/pl/Slownik_geograficzny/Tom_X/24 Volume X was published in 1889 so the population data was probably compiled c. 1880. Of course it is important to determine whether the location was the village or the estate. The village is described as having 11 houses with a population of 90; the estate had 10 houses with a population of 115, all Catholics. The owner of the estate was Plucinski. Rusiborek had 4 houses with a population of 43. All three places belonged to the parish of Giecz. Family Search has records from that parish but they need to be accessed at a Family History Center or affiliated library. Here is the link https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/6188?availability=Family%20History%20Library
Wishing you successful research,
Dave

Hello Wuness
Some comments to your research so far:
When your great grandmother Rozalia said she was born in Sroda, she might have meant Środa Wielkopolska, the Polish name for Schroda, the seat of the county Schroda. As Sophia already pointed out, Groß Jeziory was part of the Kreis/county Schroda, so Rozalia just might have referred to the county.
The information in Meyers Gazetteer is based on the 5th edition of “Meyers Orts- und Verkehrs-Lexikon des Deutschen Reichs.“ that was published in 1912. The population data are those of 1910. There is a “but”: Looking directly at the census data, the Estate Rusiborz had a population of 67 in 1867, of 161 in 1871, of 92 in 1885 (that fits to Dave’s figures), and of 156 in 1905.
To make things a bit more complex: The Prussian census of 1871 shows the Estate or “Rittergut Rusiborz” with two “Wohnplätzen”*: the “Rittergut Rusiborz” itself and the “Gut Kopaschitz”. The census also shows the village Rusiborz with three “Wohnplätzen”: the Coliniedorf Rusiborz, the village Rusiborek and the Kopaschitz Huben (1 house and 5 persons). The good news is what Dave already pointed out: all the inhabitants were of Catholic religion and all these places belonged to the Catholic parish of Giecz. To learn where your relative was born, it might be best to have a look at the church books of Giecz.
* A “Wohnplatz” was a house or are group of houses separated from others houses or groups of houses but not big enough to form an administrative unit of itself, so it was incorporated into a “Landgemeinde” or a “Gutsbezirk”.
Hope this helps,
Michael
