Post subject: Markowicz / Rusinek – Białobrzegi (parish Kosina, Łańcut dis
Hello,
I am from the Czech Republic and I am researching my great-grandfather. I would be grateful for help or advice on where to search.
Andrzej Markowicz, born 1893 in Białobrzegi, parish Kosina (Geneteka: births 1893, act 13), son of Wawrzyniec Markowicz and Aniela née Rusinek. In the 1930s he moved to Czechoslovakia, died c. 1950.
Siblings: Władysław (1892), Marianna (1896), Salomea (1898, married Stanisław Stafiej in 1930), Jan (1903), Józef (1906).
What I already know (from scans on metryki.genealodzy.pl):
- Wawrzyniec (Laurentius) Markowicz died 17 June 1923 in Białobrzegi no. 154, aged 78, son of Jan;
- Aniela Markowicz née Rusinek died 8 Sept 1942 in Białobrzegi no. 154, born 1869, daughter of Tomasz Rusinek and Anna née Bróż;
- Geneteka index: marriage of Wawrzyniec (son of Jan and Anna née Górak) and Aniela Rusinek, Kosina 1891, act 3 – but I could not find this act in the scanned Kosina marriages 1890–1893;
- possible brother of Wawrzyniec: Tomasz Markowicz (son of Jan and Anna Górak), married Żołynia 1866, act 5 (to Marianna Czech).
I am looking for:
1. the marriage record of Wawrzyniec and Aniela (c. 1885–1892, maybe another parish),
2. birth records of Wawrzyniec (c. 1845) and Aniela (1869),
3. marriages of Jan Markowicz & Anna Górak and Tomasz Rusinek & Anna Bróż, and their parents.
Does anyone have access to the 19th-century books of Kosina or Żołynia parishes, or know where they are kept (parish office, Przemyśl Archdiocesan Archive)? Any hint is welcome, and I am happy to pay for a search.
Best regards,
Bronislav Markowicz

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Unfortunately, there are not many resources available online. Although it appears that the parish of Kosina has been indexed for the years 1777–1945, either not all of the books were indexed, or the first and second copies of the church records are not entirely identical. For example, you can see that marriages that took place in the same year are double-numbered. This means that the information comes from two different church books.
Here are the indexes for the marriages of Wawrzyniec and his siblings. Wawrzyniec and Anna got married on November 17, 1891, in the parish of Kosina.
https://geneteka.genealodzy.pl/index.php?op=gt&lang=eng&bdm=S&w=09pk&rid=S&search_lastname=markowicz&search_name=&search_lastname2=gorak&search_name2=&from_date=1866&to_date=1898
Most of the church records from Kosina are still kept in the parish itself. The priests are not very helpful and rarely answer questions, since they have previously allowed the books to be indexed.
Regards,
-Barb

Thank you very much, Barb! That explains why I could not find the 1891 marriage in the scans. One more question: do you know where the second copies (duplicates) of the Kosina and Żołynia books from c. 1835–1870 might be kept? Geneteka shows the Żołynia 1884 marriages as stored in the State Archive in Rzeszów. Could the older duplicates be there, or in the Archdiocesan Archive in Przemyśl? I am looking for the baptism of Wawrzyniec Markowicz (c. 1845, son of Jan and Anna Górak, Białobrzegi no. 271) and the marriage of Jan Markowicz and Anna Górak (c. 1835–1845). Thanks again for your help!

Thank you so much, Sophia and Barb! That explains the mystery – I had been looking at act no. 3 in the Kosina book, while our marriage is in the separate Białobrzegi book. Very helpful.
A small update: the Archdiocesan Archive in Przemyśl replied that they do not do genealogical research themselves, but they offered me contacts to professional genealogists who work in their reading room.
May I ask two more questions?
1. Does anyone know which books of Kosina (Białobrzegi) and Żołynia parishes from c. 1835–1870 are kept in Przemyśl, in the State Archive in Rzeszów, or only in the parishes? I am looking for the baptism of Wawrzyniec Markowicz (c. 1845, son of Jan and Anna Górak, Białobrzegi no. 271), and the marriage of Jan Markowicz and Anna Górak (c. 1835–1845, probably Żołynia).
2. Can anyone recommend a reliable genealogist for this area, or share roughly what such a search usually costs?
Thank you again for your kindness!
Bronislav

Thank you, Barb! That matches what the Archdiocesan Archive in Przemyśl wrote to me today: they hold the Kosina and Żołynia registers for 1835–1870 (and up to 1908), but they don't do research themselves, so they sent me contacts for two genealogists who work in their reading room. I'm writing to them now and will post here what they find.
Thanks again to you and Sophia for all your help!
