Post subject: Help with Town Name
I have attached the 1890 marriage record between Alois Gotz and Marcjanna Wojtowicz from Krakow. I am trying to confirm the name of the town where she was from. The record reflects Alois was from Slawkow, which I know is referring to Slavkov u Brna (Austerlitz) in the present-day Czech Republic. It looks like her information reflects she was from "Winiary," which could refer to a village in Proszowice County (Malopolskie). Does this look like "Winiary"? Could it be another name? The location I have identified does not have any records for Macjanna Wojtowicz (B. 23 Dec 1864). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I see the towns as Sławków (the “l” is slashed if you look closely), and Winiary. There are two villages with the name Winiary, one which you mention, and another in Gmina Gdow to the south of Krakow. Here is a Google map
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Winiary,+Proszowice+County,+Poland/Sławków,+Poland/Winiary,+Gdów,+Poland/@50.1405479,19.7494896,9z/data=!4m11!4m10!1m2!1m1!1s0x4717b424a4b6bd8f:0xb5b8f8a29d6ee7e!1m2!1m1!1s0x4716ddc1d9c4d7e7:0xb9038c8916d41bc0!1m2!1m1!1s0x47166b6bf85103fb:0x4177e162a70b1347!3e0
I will let others add to or correct my take on this.

Thanks Monika. I had found the indices you mentioned. This is great! Definitely the right family. Wish I could get copies of the original documents but as you say they don't appear to be online at this time. Bob
