Reply with quote

Don't know the whole story but I have a baptism record (in Russian) that lists the baptism name as (Францъ) which seems to translate in Polish as Franc which I have never heard, nor seen before. Though I am not a native Pole or fluent speaker. Anyone have any ideas? Is it a variation of Franciszek?


Thanks in advance for input Smile


Hugh

Yes. Franciszek.

Best,
