Szymon Raszkiewicz married 29 Jan. 1837
Szymon Raszkiewicz (my 3x great uncle) and Marianna (Litwin) Przybyz) married in Tomaszów Lubelski on 29th January 1837, at 4:15 p.m. (And YES, his last name was spelled with an S not a C in his marriage and birth records.)
The groom was a bachelor who was living with his parents Jan Raszkiewicz and Apollonia nee Gołębiowska in the village of Majdan Górno. They were peasants.
The bride was a 20 year old widow whose husband died a year and a month before. She was living in the same village as Szymon. She was born in Łaszczówka and her parents Marcin Litwin and Rozalia nee Stawicka were still living there. This is the same village I jrecently talked about in which Katarzyna Krawczyk (my 3x great grandmother) was born. The family also were peasants.
The witnesses were Piotr Raszkiewicz, age 28, (the groom's brother) and Sebastian Jeruzal, age 36, (his brother-in-law)both peasants from Majdan Górno
I am still in the process of discovering information about the relatives. I worked pretty extensively on the Kaszucki side until recently when I switched back to the Raczkiewicz side. I have found that I definitely know more about how to do it than when I found my first Raczkiewicz record a year ago. The marriage record of Szymon was translated on December 13, 2020. In the last month or two, I have learned that his parents had nine children. Szymon was the middle child -- the fifth -- and Michal (my 3x great grandfather) was the first. The family had six boys and three girls.
I just had Szymon’s birth record translated on December 11, 2020. Reading the record, I confirmed that his parents were Jan Raszkiewicz, 40 and Apolonia nee Golebiowska, 30. They lived in house #71 in Górny. Wouldn’t it be exciting to be able to see exactly where that is? The witnesses were Jakob Raszkiewicz, 54 and Wojciech Zterda , 37 , all peasant farmers from Gurny ( Górny).
