Hello! Could I please have some help translating this record please? It is the marriage record from Balbieriškio Švč. Mergelės Marijos Rožančiaus Romos katalikų bažnyčia for Jakob and Rozalia. I know it is long, but it is an exciting find (thanks, Sophia!) that I am hoping could provide more context/information. Thank you for considering!

Putroszany [currently: Putriškiai]
Marriage record for Krutula Jakub and Róża

It happened in Balwierzyszki, on August 26th, 1836, at 5 p.m.

We make it known that in the presence of witnesses, Jerzy Krutula, a farmer from Putroszany, 30 years old and Mateusz Zwyrbel, the administrator of monastic property from Putroszany, 28 years old, a religious marriage was concluded, between:

Jakub Krutula, a single man, a farmer born and living in Jachany, a son of Jan and Justyna nee Szulewska, the Krutula spouses, 21 years old

and

Róża, a miss, a daughter of Szymon and Anna, the Zwyrbel spouses, 17 years old, who was born and lives at her parents' in Putroszany.

This marriage was preceded by three banns of marriage, announced on: August 10th, 17th and 24th of the current year in the parishes of Balwierzyszki and Udryń.

The newlyweds' parents, who were present at drafting this marriage Act, gave their permission for this marriage to be concluded.

There were no objections for this marriage.

This Act was read to the newlyweds and witnesses, all of whom were illiterate.

Priest Świętochowski.

Hi Marcel,

Could you look at it one more time? It is indexed as 1833, not 1836. You can see the index here (go to skan 79):

The marriage record itself is on skan 78.

Best regards,
Sophia

Thanks for pointing that out; I’ve already corrected my mistake.

If you could translate this document, I would be most appreciative. It is written by a notary to my GGM, Marya Strezpek Stec when she lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I believe it is a request to sign papers so that they could sell the family estate.

I've received the attached which I was told is a record of the marriage between Aniela Runowicz and ? Grabowski. I was told it was in Russian but it seems to be in Polish? I'd like to know - first name of Mr Grabowski and where and when the marriage took place, their dates of birth, and any information about their parents that#s provided - names etc. Thank you!

Please help with my relatives newspaper articles.

How I transcribed the first article and how it translated:

Z POMORZA
— *BYDGOSZCZ. W dzień Zielonych Świat obchodzą złote gody małżeńskie p. Stanisław i Anna z Lechowskich Stanisławscy, którzy przed rokiem przenieśli się z Ostrowa Wlkp. do Bydgoszczy, P. Stanisławski, znany na terenie ostrowskim kupiec i przemysłowiec branży maszynowej, pracował czynnie w licznych organizacjach zawodowych i społecznych, ciesząc się wszędzie dużym szacunkiem. Dom jubilatów był w czasach zaborczych ośrodkiem, w którym skupiały się szerokie żywioły patriotyczne, jubilat zaś uczestniczył z trzema synami w powstaniu wielkopolskim. Synowie: Leon, Czesław i Wiktor zajmują dziś poważne stanowiska społeczne, córka zaś Maria jest żona prof. M. Seidla z Bydgoszczy, a Leokadia przełożoną ss serafitek w Wilnie. Jubilaci otrzymali od ks. Prymasa Hlonda pismo z błogosławieństwem, oraz dyplom gratulacyjny z medalem od Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej.

FROM POMERANIA
*BYDGOSZCZ. On the day of the Green World, Mr. and Mrs. Stanisław and Anna Stanisławski née Lechowski, who moved from Ostrów Wlkp. to Bydgoszcz a year ago, celebrate their golden wedding anniversary, Mr. Stanisławski, a well-known merchant and industrialist in the machinery industry in Ostrów, worked actively in numerous professional and social organizations, enjoying great respect everywhere. In the times of partition, the Jubilee House was a center where wide patriotic elements were concentrated, and the jubilee participated with his three sons in the Greater Poland Uprising. Today, his sons: Leon, Czesław and Wiktor hold serious social positions, while his daughter Maria is the wife of Prof. M. Seidl from Bydgoszcz, and Leokadia is the superior of the SS Seraphites in Vilnius. The jubilees received a letter of blessing from Primate Hlond, and a congratulatory diploma with a medal from the President of the Republic of Poland.

And the second one:

Emil i Jadwiga z Michalskich Metzigowie w miejsce zawiadomień o ślubie wojennym córki swej Zofii z panem Leonem Stanisławskim z Ostrowa odbyć się mającym w czwartek i marca po południu o godz. 6 w kościele parafialnym w Szamotułach 10 mk.

Hi Marcel and Skowronski,

I would like to add an important detail to the second newspaper article, the one with the heading "Ofiary." This is a listing of people who made donations. The first sentence of the article says: "Dla komitetu niesienia pomocy w Królestwie Polskim złożyli:" and so, these two couples who are of interest to you celebrated their wartime weddings by making donations to the Relief Committee of the Kingdom of Poland.

Best regards,
Sophia
