  1. Bonnie,
    My g-grandparents were from Cienin Kościelny. My g-g-grandfather was Feliks Drajer, born 1854. I think that he is might be one of the witnesses for your marriage of Andrzej and Agnieszka Nowak. I also have a Marianna Nowak married to Mikołaj Matczak around 1806. They have a son, Andrzej, born 1806 in Gosławice, Poland. You visited several of my villages. Thank you so much for posting the wonderful pictures!
