Józef Wajszczuk (1391)


Register (Metrical) Book entries concerning Jozef Wajszczuk appear twice - in different Parishes, at the time married to two different persons, several decades apart, but with his place of residence in the same village(?) - therefore he was initially entered by us under two different ID numbers, on the webpages of two different Parishes. However, since his other personal data (i.e. his estimated year of birth) are similar, (as well as his listed place of residence) - we now consider the likelihood that this is the same person and the slightly differing details of information could be caused by errors in the book entries - we observed that phenomenon on several occasions. Below are quoted the specific details of the book entries concerning Jozef:

1. Jozef appears for the first time in the books of the Sitaniec Parish under the date of September 2, 1783 (our Lp. [ID] #35 in the excerpts from the Sitaniec Parish - https://www.wajszczuk.pl/english/ksiegi_metrykalne_sitaniec.htm), in a record of marriage of Józef Wayszczuk from "Sitaniec-Wysokie" to Marianna Olszowa (Olejarzowa?). This is the only entry found in this Parish concerning this particular family, but the matter is complicated by the unavailabily of records from the years 1786 - 1809. (Above information was initially placed by us on the page: https://www.wajszczuk.pl/english/drzewo/zamojszczyzna_nowa.htm and Jozef was assigned there the individual ID#1379). One other record entry is also unclear - "...from Sitaniec-Wysokie" - perhaps at that time both villages were considered to be one administrative entity, since later on they have been always listed separately - we are planning to check out this possibility.

The next entry in the books of the Sitaniec Parish (several years later) concern already a different Wajszczuk family. They are "Akta nr. 9 under the date of February 11, 1821 (our ID - Lp.#37) and they concern "the wedding of Jakub Wayszczuk, age 21 - son of Stanislaw and Teresa Wayszczuk - farmers from Wysokie (birth certificates from Wysokie) - with (Miss) Marianna Pilewicz(owna) - age 23, daughter of Jakub and Ewa nee Lepczyk, spouses Pilewicz - farmers from Wysokie (bride's birth certificate from the Sitaniec Parish):

2. Jozef appears again, this time in the books of the Nielisz Parish and is mentioned in "Akta #32 dated November 13, 1836" as a father of Wojciech, as taking part in his second marriage ceremony (our Lp.#30, Nielisz Parish) - "marriage of Woyciech Woyszczuk - widower age 45 - weaver residing in Wulka Niedzieliska(?), but born in Sitaniec, son of Jozef and Klara nee Relei, spouses Waszczuk, farmers from Sitaniec with (Miss) Marianna Gruszka(owna) - age 30 - she does not remeber her parents, they died when she was a child". (This information was initially entered by us on the page: https://www.wajszczuk.pl/english/drzewo/1391jozef.htm and Jozef appears there under the assigned ID#1391). Klara, nee Relei is mentiond here as a wife of Jozef and mother of Wojciech, living in Sitaniec and Wojciech as also born in Sitaniec! Mis-spelling of the last names calls particular attention - Jozef and Klara are entered in the records as "spouses Waszczuk" and their son Wojciech is registered as "Woyszczuk".

Based on the comparison of the information cited above, it appears that this is the same Jozef, but in the second entry (several years later), he probaly had already a second wife (who was also the mother of Wojciech)? Since the records from this time period are missing, this assumption may never be confirmed. In the meantime, we have decided to integrate the above pieces of information, assuming that this was the same Jozef (while preserving the two individual ID numbers, i.e. #1379 and #1391, in case we come in the future across new information to the contrary, which may suggest that these were two different individuals).
