Antoni Raszkiewicz and Marianna Grabek (my 2x great grandparents) married in 1862 and had two children. One was Jan (my great grandfather.) The other one was Marianna. Antoni died at age 26 July 3, 1868 and their one year old daughter Marianna died about a month later on August 7 of the same year.
Marianna remarried in 1870 to Tomasz Kedra Her husband Antoni Raczkiewicz died 1 July 1868. Antoni and Marianna’s son Jan was six years old when Marianna remarried. Tomasz and Marianna had two children: Katarzyna and Jozef. Marianna died 11 years after marrying Tomasz in 1881. Her son from her first marriage, Jan, was 17 and still living at home. Her younger children were 8 and 10 years old.
On May 8, 1881, Tomasz re-married. Tomasz was 34 years old. He was born in the village Jeziernia and was living in Sabaudia. The bride was Anna Raczkiewicz, a 19 year old who was born and living with her parents in the village. Górno. This couple would therefore be my step grandmother and step grandfather.
