I everyone. I recently found this record, but am not sure what the name of this town is or what it might be called today. This document is from 1895 at a Catholic Church in St. Louis, MO.

Thank you for taking a look at it.

Hi Bob,
Do you have a Manifest or other documents where that name can be stated?

Thank you, Sophia and Barb. I’ll try that city first, and keep looking for a ship manifest, if not.

Hi ,
What about Koniuszkowo?
Pogrodzie borders on the Elbląg Upland Landscape Park. Until 1945, the town had the German name Neukirch-Höhe, after World War II it was changed to Koniuszkowo.
I don't know what year the document was issued?

Oh yes. It is written in your first post. I believe that it will be difficult to move forward without the Manifest. Trish and Sophia, can you find anything?

Hi Bob, Barb, and Sophia,

Bob, what USA documents do you have already on your family? What information do you know on Jan (John)? What year was he born?

I did see a 1900 census for a John being born around 1869, his wife was Marianna. They had Telka, Clara, and Robert. Marianna also had several children from a previous marriage. Those children surnames was listed as "Strump". Is this your family?

Let me know what USA records that you need.
Regards,
Trish

The documents always say Poland, Germany or Prussia. The original document is the only one that I found that has the birth city named. If I can figure out that name, I might be able to find the church records for that town.

Marianna Strumpf was born Koziorzembski in Marzencitz (Marcencice).

But Marianna and John Paczkowski met in the U.S.

Hi Bob, Barb, and Sophia,

Bob, I do understand that Marianna and John met in the USA. The marriage record you posted lists Marianna as a widow. The children listed from Mariannan's first marriage match the children in the 1900 census.

As for John (Jan) I believe I found his ship's manifest. However, it does not list a town of origin.

Name Jan Paczkowski
Gender Male
Age 23
Birth Date abt 1869
Departure Port Bremen and Southampton
Arrival Date 30 Mar 1892
Arrival Port New York, New York, USA
Ship Name Ems

You are correct with stating that most records you are finding only list Poland, Austria, Russia, or Germany. Most records prior to 1900 will not list the actual name of the town. However, you can try to get the baptismal records of John (Jan) and Marianna's children. The baptismal records also could list the town of original for the parents. It's worth a try.

Regards,
Trish

Hi,
It seems Marianna was born in Marzęcice. Marzęcice is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kurzętnik, within Nowe Miasto County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.
I found Joseph Koziorzembski. He is Marianna's brother.

Yes, I have Marianna’s birth and Baptism record from Marzecice. Her brother Frank was my great grandfather. I have several docs from this town.
