Stefan Jozef Kaszucki was a frequent declarant

Stefan Jozef Kaszucki (my 2nd great grandfather) was a frequent declarant for family members’ births, marriages, and deaths. I know so far of at least nine times that Stefan Jozef was a witness or Godparent. Child mortality was very high for this generation of the Kaszucki family. Antonina Kaszucka (1rst cousin 3x removed) died on January 8, 1864. She was three years old. Her father Nikolaj, age 45 went with his brother Stefan Jozef, known as Jozef, to report the death. The two brothers were both furriers. Antonina was one of six of the 11 children that Nikolaj had who died in infancy or early childhood. Nikolaj’s brother Stefan Jozef had 6 children and only my 3rd great grandmother Katarzyna survived to adulthood. Antonina was born on April 16, 1864 at 10:00 p.m. At the time her father was 42 and her mother, Marianna nee Bratkiewicz was 40. The witnesses were Jakob Bulewicz, 26 & Piotr Pirog, 24, who were both shoemakers. There was a Greek Catholic Baptism and Confirmation and her Godparents were Jakob and Maryanna Kukila.
