Post subject: tłumaczenie nieczytelnej adnotacji
Dobry wieczór.
Potrzebuję pomocy w przetłumaczeniu tej notatki z aktu chrztu z 1946 roku.
Pismo jest trudne do odczytania. Dla kontekstu, dotyczy ona narodzin Kazimierza, syna Jadwigi Antoniak, w 1946 roku. Ojciec nie jest wymieniony.
W akcie ślubu Kazimierza „Niedźwieckiego” z 1969 roku ojcem jest Władysław Niedźwiecki.
Dziękuję bardzo.
