I heard back from Ania this weekend in regards to her trip to visit relatives in DÄ…browica. Ania’s mothers maiden name is Rzeszut and she grew up in the same town Kasper & Anna’s family were from. Ania was hoping to look at the old parish records to gather some information on the Rzeszuts in an effort to confirm if her great great grandfather and my great great grandfather Kasper (Kacper in Poland) were brothers. Unfortunately there were weddings, baptisms and funerals going on which didn’t allow the priests any time to help out. The good news is they told her they DID receive the letter I wrote to them a few months ago asking about birth and marriage records but had only just received it around Easter. Ania’s parents have also taken an interest in this and plan on going back to the church in a few weeks to hit the books and gather Rzeszut info. As with most genealogy, patience is required – although I must admit…I’m on the edge of my seat!
Stay tuned…
