Posted: 3 hours ago at 8:06 am Post subject: Marriage record

I keep trying to post in the translation section but my post isn't appearing for some reason. I've attached a marriage record of who I believe is Aniela Runowicz and ? Grabowski. I need to know any information possible from it - full names, date and place of marriage, parents names etc. I've tried to find this on geneteka but my browsers won't let me access the site so I don't understand why that's happening it's never happened before. Also on this forum I keep attaching the file but when I click submit it doesn't appear????

Hi Stewart,

It is possible that the file you are trying to attach is too large. There are limits on the file size that Polish Origins lets you upload. Files that are .jpg or .jpeg cannot be larger than 2MB. A PDF can be up to 3MB. (see image, below)

One thing you can do is a screenshot of the image; that usually results in a smaller file size. Another option is to break your image down into pieces. All a bit of a bother, I know, but you'll get there.

Thanks Sophie, seems it's 2.01 MB just over the limit so I'll get it reduced

Hi Stewart,

I see you were able to post the image.

According to Geneteka, the groom is Józef Grabowski. His father's name is either not written there or could not be read by the indexer because they only gave his mother's name, Marianna. For Aniela Runowicz (seems to be spelled Ronowicz in this record, according to the indexer) her father was Jędrzej Runowicz/Ronowicz and her mother was Józefa Matyakowska/Matyjakowska.

The record is actually in Russian, not Polish, but don't worry about re-posting it. You'll still be likely to get a translation just where you've placed it.

Best regards,
Sophia

Blimey Sophia that was quick, thank you! I thought if it was in Russian it would have been in the cyrillic alphabet. I don't what's happened re geneteka, I've tried 3 browsers and they all say there's a security issue and advising me not to proceed, I've never had that before and I only used it a couple of days ago.
