Hi,
Marginal note:
Wawrzyn Andrzejczak 1885
The person died on August 10th, 1969 in Dziećmierowo. Act no. 46/1964 prepared at the Civil Registry Office in Kórnik.
I hope that Michael answers your other question.

Post subject: Austrian Marriage Record for Amalia Lewicka (nee Bochenska)
Good evening! I have spent lots of time wading through records written in Latin and Polish, but this is the first one in German.
I have In Their Words, Vol IV: German so I have been able to decipher the printed column headings, but I am having a very difficult time with the handwriting and abbreviations. I am hoping that someone more versed in German records will be able to identify the words based on context. I am primarily interested in the information on the bride, Amalia Lewicka. She is my Gr-Gr-Grandmother.
I know her birth name was Amalia Bochenska. She married Stefan Lewicki, the parish priest in Lackie Wielke, who died very young and shortly after his death she left Lackie Wielke. Her daughter's passenger manifest lists Amalia as living in Vienna.
I appreciate any assistance you are able to offer. Thank you!

Hi,
There are two indications that the boy was illegitimate: the father's name is not mentioned and Jozefa was unmarried ("ledig").
Best

Hello Bernhard,
You might either contact the
Stadtarchiv Dortmund ([email protected])
or the
Landesarchiv Nordrhein Westfalen ([email protected])
and ask for a copy.
As Dortmund had some twenty civil registry offices it might help to include Edmund’s address to simplify the search. I assume he was a mason and resided Alsenstraße 64 (Please see: https://www.digibib.genealogy.net/viewer/image/130293830D_1907/592/).
Hope that helps,
Michael

Wow! Thank you Michael. I would have never extracted all of that information from the certificate.
I very much appreciate it.

Hello Michael,
Thank you for your answer.
I am not sure that the person on the list corresponds to the person I am searching, but I will anyway contact the two archive departments of Dortmund.
Best regards
Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,
Correct what Michael says. In Dortmund there are many civil registry offices and even more churches. I have this link.

Maybe you will find something interesting there?

I've attached copies of citizen records for the City of Gniezno. I believe the handwriting refers to moves to other town but am unsure of that.
Would you please translate the heading of each column (under the page number), along with the heading of the small box at the bottom (lodging?). Would you also translate the handwriting in each column? Thank you. wuness

Hello Barb,
Thank you for the link. Very interesting.
I went through the 42 churches, but found nothing.
Either no baptism, or no year 1907...
I wrote to the Dortmund Stadt Archiv. We'll see.
Many thanks
Bernhard
