Michal Raczkiewicz & Anna Dominik Marry January 17, 1824

Michał Raczkiewicz and Anna Dominik (my 3x great grandparents on the Raczkiewicz side) married today, January 17 in 1824 at 12:00 p.m. The banns were announced previously on January 4th and January 11. The witnesses were Marcin Kukiełka, 40, Józef Pyc, 35, Sobek Jaruzal, 35, and Piotr Sobek, 40, all peasants residing in the village of Maydan Górny. ***** Michal was a 19 year old bachelor living with his parents, Jan Raczkiewicz and Apolonia nee Gołębiowska (my 4x great grandparents). He was the oldest of their nine children. The family lived in the village of Majdan Górny and worked as peasants. Anna was 18 years old and also never before married. She lived with her parents Tomasz Dominik and Regina Wójcik, who were peasants in the same village. ***** Michal and Anna had eleven children. Their firstborn child Jan was my 2x great grandfather. The family lived in Sabaudia. Four of the five last children died young in the time period of 1841-1851. ***** Their story slowly unfolded over time for me as records were found and translated. On May 14, 2020, a volunteer from the Facebook Page “Genealogical Translations” translated Act 4, their marriage record. By January 1, 2021, I knew of 7 of their children. I know about all 11 of their children now. It is kind of amazing to have learned so much about them in less than a year and a half of time. ***** The marriage record is #4: https://www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl/en/skan/-/skan/404617e8e825b9178e6e0aab8e780d7946a5d4403fa5b14287d89597889133fe
