Bukowsko Banns, Volume II (civil), 1890

The following records were compiled by Debbie Greenlee. She is the owner and author of this page.

These records are part of a series. Please read the introduction for complete information on where the records came from, how to get copies, etc.

Though these are Roman Catholic marriage banns they were bound into Bukowsko Volume 1 of the birth, marriage and death records recorded at the Urząd Stanu Cywilnego in Bukowsko. The marriage, death and birth records were indexed separately and covered different years. This book is now archived at the Rzeszów Civil Archive in Sanok and is also online.

It appears that all of these Banns were also in the Bukowsko Marriage Banns Volume II, 1850 – 1898. The records covered in this index are to be considered civil records even though banns are not normally part of civil records. Confused? What can I say? I index what is in the books I photograph.

The groom’s house number is listed first in the index followed by the bride’s house number, however the house number may not refer to a house in Bukowsko but may refer to a different village. You will need to order the record in order to determine the village.

Not everyone was from Bukowsko so don’t ignore this index. Some people were from Maniów, Ropczyce, Komańcza, Wisłok Dolny, Bełchówka, Wola Sękowa, Brzozów, Smolnik, Turzańsk and so on. Also, some of these people were Greek Catholic.

Often the priest would record a diminutive (nickname) instead of a person’s formal name. We indexed what the priest wrote. If a man’s name was Andrzej for example, the priest may have written Jędrzej.

If there isn’t a father's name listed then chances are the groom or bride were born illegitimate.

Women’s surnames were spelled using the nominative masculine endings; -ska is -ski and -cka is -cki. So if you are looking for a woman with the surname Kowalska, search on Kowalski.

Sometimes infants that were stillborn did not receive names but their sex was indicated in the record.

Thank you to Janet George for indexing these records.
