Hi,
Here follows the translation of the 1777 birth & baptism record.
Wishing you continued success,
Dave
#50 Kazmirzewo
In the year 1777 on the 23rd day of August, I, the same, baptized an infant born on the 20th of the same month of the legitimate Non-Catholic marital union of the industrious1 parents Jakub and Maryanna Treychl to whom I gave the name Krystian. The sponsors2 were the industrious1 Jan Terychel and Katarzyna ???opacka, both from Kazmirzewo.
Notes: 1 laboriosus/industrious: an adjective used to denote an individual as a peasant.
2patrnini/sponsors: commonly known as godparents.

Post subject: Latin translation
Entry #6 on the top right is my 5th great grandfather. Some of the latin text is throwing me, some of the grammer and relationships odd. If I'm reading it right it looks like his former inlaws are involved with the voching of the Bann in Gora. Help please?

Post subject: Re: Latin Marriage Record
Just remember not every one has access to the family search database...
FYI
The Pozen marriage project ( http://poznan-project.psnc.pl/ )has a quick and dirty transcription of the marriage:
Catholic parish Mogilno
entry 9 / 1861
Valentinus Jakuboski (32 years old) 100%
father: Thomas Jakuboski , mother: Aemilia Tesławska? lub Tosławska
Francisca Gierszewska (35 years old)
father: Jacobus Gierszewski , mother: Alketara? Guntkowska? lub Gientkowska
You might want to pull the images for the Mogilno church book to verify
As for the record my latin is a little rough hence why I've posted a question. This is using the tabular format common in the mid-late 19th century
I'd read this at 11 march 1861
marriage preformed by the Ladeslais straijakwski
groom Valentinus Jauboski young man from wizedzum
bride Franscia Gierzweska from dezbro
Both together free
Groom 32 years old
Bride 35 years old
catholic
no parent consent
Winesses
Ladeslaw ..

Hi Peter,
The banns were announced in the parish of Góra and the pastor of the parish blessed the marriage. The wedding ceremony took place in the parish of the town of Radziejów. (That is my take on the Polish spelling of the Latin place name. In Latin the letter “i” symbolized both the vowel “i” and the consonant “j”. It was in during the late 19th and early 20th centuries that “j” was used for the consonant.) No former in-laws appear in the text. The groom was from the village of Trzaski, which belonged to the parish of Inowrocław and the banns were also announced there. Actually the Latin is quite good and the grammar and syntax is normal. The difficulty may be simply that you’ve not seen the constructions found in this record in other records you’ve read.
The translation follows. Given names are translated into their Polish form.
Wishing you continued success,
Dave
The town of Radziejów On the 21st day of February 1808* the Reverend Pan Stanisław Modtkowski, superior/pasttor of the parish church in Góra, after the three announcements of the banns had been promulgated according to custom, in the presence of the pastor of Radziejów** blessed the marriage contracted between the industrious*** Tomasz Warkuszewski, a widower, and the renowned**** Anastazja Kozłowska, a maiden, in the presence of Ferdynand Wegel (or Megel), a surgeon, and Wojciech Woyciechowski. However, since the aforementioned Tomasz Warkuszewski was from the parish of Inowrocław**, therefore he presented a certificate/testimony from his pastor regarding the promulgation of the banns there which was of the following tenor: In regard to the contracting of marriage between Tomasz Warkuszewski, a widower, a miller from the village of Trzaski of the parish of Inowrocław**, and Anastazja Kozłowska, a maiden from Radziejów, the banns had been promulgated and no impediment had been detected, I attest by these presents***** —actually the wife of the above named Tomasz Warkuszewski by the name of Maryanna died on the 10th day of October and was buried on the 13th of the same month in the Cemetery of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In testimony of which I sign below with my own hand and affix the parish seal. Given in Inowrocław** on the 20th day of February 1808 (Signature of) Józef Januszewski, curate of Inowrocław**.
Notes: *The month and year are found on the previous page of the register.
**Radzieioviensis & Iunivladislaviensis are Latin adjectival forms of the place names. The —iensis ending indicates that they are treated as 3rd Declension adjectives. Other place names appear in their vernacular (Polish) form.
***honestus/upright: an adjective used to designate a person as a peasant.
****famatus/renowned: an adjective used to describe a middle class craftsman.
*****praesentibus/these presents, i.e. this document

Post subject: Re: Latin Marriage Record
Hi Herb,
Two sets of marriage registers exist and both are found on Family Search. The two are not identical. So what’s the deal? One is the ecclesiastical copy of the register and the other in a civil transcript. The reason for two copies lies in the history of the region. As a result of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 the region came under Prussian control as part of the Grand Duchy of Posen. The Prussian government required that Catholic priests and Protestant (Lutheran) ministers submit copies of their parish registers to serve as civil vital records. The columnar format came to be in general use by 1820. With the reunification of Germany in 1871 the region became part of the German Empire. From 1874 until the end of WWI the keeping of vital records was taken away from churches and transferred to free standing civil registry offices. Prior to 1874 parishes made copies of the parish registers and thus two or copies of the registers existed. This was the situation with the record you posted. That record was the civil transcript. The original was the ecclesiastical copy. As a general rule when dealing with manuscripts, be they copies of the works of the authors of antiquity or manuscripts of the New Testament or documents from the Middle Ages or copies of parish sacramental registers the older the copy the more accurate and reliable the text. This is demonstrated in your posted record. The film notes for the copy you posted state that the film is of civil transcripts. Several errors are clear in entries which had been crossed out. Another error is not quite as obvious—the names of the witnesses are wrong. They are individuals listed in another record on the same page.
Here are translations of the two sets of records. In my opinion, the more accurate and more valuable version is the ecclesiastical copy.
Wishing you success,
Dave

Col. 2: Dies et Mensis Copulationis = The Day and Month of the Marriage: 11 February

Col. 6: Aetas = Age

Col. 6b: Sponsae = Of the Bride: 35

Dave,
Thank you so much for the translations and explanation. They are very valuable to me.
I was only able to find the one record.
Can you give me the Family Search file number for the Ecclesiastical record so that I can add it to my files?
I would also like to compensate you for your work, if you could tell me how I can do that.

Hi Herb,
The film number is 2090360 Item 2 Image 264. The description is Akta małźeństw 1841-1867. The DGS number is 8120865. The Poznan Project indexed this record. Instead of using the film made at the Archdiocesan Archive in Gniezno the indexer visited the archive and used the physical register to view the entry. Of course that method works only for someone in Europe. On this side of the pond we depend on the LDS film which contains the image of the record housed in the Archdiocesan Archive. These particular records were filmed in 1997 and the films made research here much more possible and now that the images have been digitized and are available online research has become a piece of cake. Anyone researching what was the Province of Posen owes a huge debt of gratitude to the folks at Family Search.
Dave

I found it, thanks so much. Thank you also for the explanation of the record keeping at that time period in Poland. I'm going to look more intensely for double records now in that area. I might get lucky and find the death record that has been evading me for years.

Hi Ted,
I’m not able to read the name of the parish in the record, but you already know the place name. The reason for the difficulty is the place name appears as a Latin Third Declension adjective. Such adjectives are formed by adding the letters -iensis to the stem of the word. The problem is that I am not certain of the letters immediately before the ending and there are too many villages named Jastrzębia in Poland to make locating the parish name via maps easy. In the future please post the name of the parish together with your translation request. It will make the translation process much easier and less time consuming.
Thanks.
Dave
Translation: 1802 from the village of Jastrzębia
In the 1,802nd Year of Our Lord on the 24th day of August I, Jan N. Wolski, pastor of the parish of Grab???, baptized a male infant having given him the name Bartłomiej, a son of the legitimate marital union of the industrious* Jakub Okupski and Margołzata Marcinuwna**, born yesterday after midnight. The sponsors lifting him up*** were Jacenty Chrynacki and Jadwiga Drynuwna**, both from Jastrzębia.
Notes: *laboriosus/industrious: The adjective was used to describe an individual as a peasant.
**The suffix -uwna was usually written as -owna and was used to denote the maiden name of a woman.
***levantes/lifting (him) up: a circumlocution for “godparents.
