Hello All,

I found this document of Waldemar Stankiewicz kresy.genealodzy.pl page and was wondering if someone could haelp me decipher what information I can get from this document if anything.

I have a family line in the old Wilno Guberniya the Dowiat family of noble origin, this resource seems to list inforamtion pertaining to nobles of the Dowiat surname on page 32, although because it is written in Polish I can't figure out what the information means. Also of note there seems to be a tables on pages 16-19 that seem to explain what some of the codes mean on the lists themselves.

I would be most appreciative if someone who reads Polish could explain to me what the information in this resource says and if it is useful in finding more information about my Dowait ancestors.

Here's the link: you will need the DjVu viewer to view the document(s)

Sincerely,

Hugh

Hello Hugh,

I will try to help you however I have problems with opening this. I am using DjVu viewer, however after opening the pages are blank. Please try to copy it again, maybe even do the print screen of the text that you are interested in.

I hope that this will work.
Greetings,
Aga

The Djvu viewer I have thats successful is one that is used on my online web browser. I downloaded the viewer and it also wouldn't open for me.

I'll see about getting the images to you.

Hugh
