Jan Raszkiewicz (3rd great uncle) is born December 26, 1824
Jan Raszkiewicz (3rd great uncle) is born
Today, December 26 in 1824, Michal Raszkiewicz and Anna nee Dominik (my 3x great grandparents) had their first born and named him Jan. He was the first of their seven children. He was born at 8:00 in the evening. The witnesses who reported it the next day were Stanislaw Dominik, 35 (Anna’s brother) and Kazimierz Mazur, 27. Like the father, they were all peasant farmers from Górno.
Jan was born in his grandfather Tomasz Raczkiewicz’ house, which was Number 100 in Górno. His parents had just married earlier that same year--January 17. Michal was 19 years old and Anna was 18.
His sibling Antoni (my 2x great grandfather) wasn’t born until 18 years later in 1842 -- when Jan was 18. Their mother had another child eight years later in 1850. Antoni was two years old when Jan was married.
