Jakub Petryna Born
Miss Marianna Petryna had a baby at age 27 with the assistance of “babiąca” Magdalena Szczesnicka. The translator thought the word came from the word 'baba' country woman/old woman, who would help deliver children, This was different from a midwife. She was the first reporter of the birth rather than the father since Marianna was unmarried.
(An interesting side note is that Magdalena (the babiaca) was married to Bartłomiej Szczesnicka (my 4th great uncle.)
Jakub Petryna was born 14 July 1852 at 3:00 in the morning. Witnesses were Mikolaj Procner, 31 a blacksmith and Tomasz Szczepaniak. Mikołaj Procner and Franciszka Iwanicka were the Godparents.
Jakub later married Salomea Kiszczynska (my 2nd cousin 4x removed.)
They are the great grandparents of Patrice (Syzmanski) Shay (my 5th cousin 1x removed.) Patrice is one of the first people that DNA connected me to and she has an extensive tree so she was a lot of help. I have very few DNA matches on my grandfather’s side so connections like her are very valuable.
