Jozef Wisniowski and Marianna Kaszucka Wed Feb. 3, 1849

Jozef Wiszniowksi and Marianna Kaszucka married on February 3, 1849. Their Greek Catholic wedding is one of many examples of a combination of different families. They are both related to me through my 2x great grandmother Paulina Kurkiewicz. The husband, Josef is my 3x great uncle on Paulina’s maternal side. The wife, Marianna, is my 1rst cousin 4x removed on Paulina's father's side. They were not closely related. Jozef was a 24 year old journeyman shoemaker who was literate and able to sign his own wedding record. His parents were deceased. Blazej had been a potter and then worked as a gravedigger. His mother was Agnieszka nee Szczesnicka. Marianna, was a 17 year old, and her parents were Teodor Kaszucka and Teodorzia nee Panczyszak, local furriers. Their 33rd wedding anniversary was a week earlier. Antoni Kurkiewicz (my 4th great grandfather), age 54 was a witness for Marianna Kaszucka (his niece) and Jozef Wisniowski's wedding. He was a shoemaker at the time. The other witness was Jan Reike?, a 34 year old weaver.
