Rozalia Dominik Died 21 July 1814
Farm life is not without danger -- even for children. Twelve year old Rozalia Dominik (my 3rd great aunt) was killed 21 July 1814, likely in a farming accident. The volunteer translators had a VERY hard time determining what the record said. The Polish language death records from this time period do not typically include a cause of death but this record does: *****
Translator 1: Hmm, so trying to work this out... I get the part -- "zabitą została" = she was killed; then I read the next part as "od ziemi" = from earth/soil/land. And, that is what I don't understand... she was killed from the land??? *****
Translator 2: I thought it was od ziemi at first but then couldn't see a dot over the i . Perhaps she was killed by a landslide ? Earthquake? *****
Translator 1: 208 years ago they never thought someone would be wanting to know how she was killed *****
Tranlsator 3: „Zabita od ziemi” - it means that she probably was killed by a landslide or (more likely) she was overwhelmed by soil (the accident, because it was a summer and her father was a farmer, and maybe they worked in the field etc.) *****
Tomasz Dominik and Regina Woycik were her parents. Rozalia was the oldest of four children when she died. The youngest was five years old. She died in house #90. The informants were Tomasz Dominik, 50 , peasant farmer , father of the deceased, residing in Górny and
Józef Pisarczyk ,40 , a neighbour .
