The FamilySearch user who entered the data for the Zieliński family members whose records needed editing/adding is a person I am unable to use the FS chat function with, presumably b/c that feature is not offered to members in countries w/ strict data privacy laws. Do you encounter this issue also, Barb and Sophia?

Hi,
I have read the birth record you linked to (scan 153, record 27).
The child was a girl named Bronisława, not Bronisław. Therefore, there is no need to research her parents.
Regarding your FamilySearch account: if you created it, you can continue working on it. If someone else created it, I recommend making your own page.
It is often difficult to contact other owners, not because of restrictions, but because they may no longer be active or do not receive email notifications.

Hi Rosanne and Barb,
In answer to your question, I have not used the Family Search chat function and am not aware of what restrictions there may be. Barb is probably correct, though, that the people you are trying to reach are not active, or else they do not want to chat.

Hi everyone,
I think this is the act you're looking for - it's from Grabienice parish 1885, act number 97 (first on top). But just to be sure, you can ask in archive (where you found his marriage certificate) if they have allegats, so there also should be his birth certificate.
regards
anna

Just as an update: I checked with one of the Tuliszków cousins I met last year; I asked him about Tomaszów. He shared that perhaps the record should be read as Tomaszew, a village northwest of Tuliszków, midway between the Wojnarowski family farm in Kisiewy + Julianna Zieliński's place of death (Dryja) and Kuchary Koscielne, the parish where Bronisław's birth was supposedly registered.
Another member of A Polish Genealogy FB group where I asked about adoption vs church records suggested another strategy for verifying that the birth record for Bronsiław Miedzińśki is/is not that of my Bronisław is to look for that name, not just his parents' names, in other parish records.

Thank you Barb, Sophie, and Anna!
I did not see your replies when I posted my "progress" two days ago. And apparently, my eyesight is not so great. I should have seen his name in the 1885 births index despite his family name being partially cut off by the book fold.
Thank you for sticking with me. I am in tears right now. So, his family correctly knew his birthday was in October when he died! they were just off a few years, which is understandable for the time.
My last step will be getting the whole entry translated, in case it reveals further info about the family. I am still curious about why his birth occurred in Kuchary Borowe.
Dziękuję bardzo!

The translation follows.
It happened in Grabienice, on October 27th/ November 8th, 1885, at 6 p.m.
Appeared Jan Zieliński, 47 years old, a peasant from Kuchary Borowe, in the presence of Andrzej Mijalski 40 years old and Majcher Czapczyk 38 years old, both peasants from Kuchary Borowe and presented Us a newborn male child, who was born in Kuchary Borowe on October 20th / 31st of the current year, at 12 p.m. to his legal wife, Julianna nee Farasińska, 42 years old.
At The Holy Baptism, held today, the child was given the name Bronisław and his godparents were Michał Rogacki and Stanisława Rabecka. This act was read to the declarant and the witnesses, who were illiterate, and it was signed by by Us only.
Regards,
-Barb

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Barb! I don’t recognize the godparents at this point, but will keep them for possible later reference. Ι really appreciate all your tips and outright work in this leg of my genealogy research. I am sharing it directly with family, as well as Family Search.
