I'm going to try not to get ahead of myself, but I wonder if this illegitimate daughter of Anna Blahuta, Maryna, is the one I'm looking for. If so, I wonder why the father wasn't present. Something I found interesting: Maryna has the exact same godparents as an illegitimate "Salabanka" child that I found in Chodnowice. Hmm. |
Hi,
There was/is no obligation to give the father's name. Sometimes the father of the child already had the family, or the mother was unsure who the father of the child was....
As for godparents at baptism, note that in small communities the same persons stood up for each other.
Yes, it is possible that Marianna, the daughter of Katarzyna, is the person you are looking for.
Regards,
