Bukowsko Civil Marriage Records, Volume 1, 1890 – 1902; 1919

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

The marriage records only cover 1890 – 1902.

These marriage records were bound into Bukowsko Volume 1, which also contains birth, death and marriage banns, and were recorded at the Urząd Stanu Cywilnego in Bukowsko. The birth, death and marriage banns were indexed separately. Volume 1 is now archived at the Rzeszów Civil Archive in Sanok.

This book must have been rebound at some point because pages are not in the correct order according to their dates and record numbers. Don't just scroll down to a date as you might miss someone.

House numbers are listed as they were written in the original record however, that does not mean that the first house number belongs to the groom. You would have to read the original record to figure out which house number belongs to the groom or bride.

Not everyone was from the village of Bukowsko. Some people were from Wola Piotrowa, Sanok, Sanoczek, Bełchówka, Komańcza, Wola Michowa and even other countries. If a house number is not listed that might indicate the birth took place in another country such as the U.S.A., Hungary, and so on.

A lot of the records have military information for the groom.

Most, if not all records actually contain the birth dates of the groom and bride. The records also include the names of the brides’ and grooms’ parents, the grandfathers, the birth villages and the religion; some were Greek Catholic.

Polish diacriticals were used in order to spell the names correctly and you will need to use them in your search terms.

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 Kotecka, search on Kotecki.

Some surnames were still being written in a non-standard Polish. For example the common surname, Klepczyk can also be found as Klebczyk so you may need to be creative when searching for someone.

S/W column indicates whether the person was single prior to this marriage or was a widow or widower. If a widow remarried, she was listed by her first married name, not her maiden name; to obtain her maiden name you will need to view the original record. As a rule, widows and widowers who remarried usually did so within a few months after their spouse’s death. The records often included the widows’ or widowers’ first spouses’ names.

Thank you to Sharon Turnas, Valerie Bell, Susan Udinsky, Janet George, Kathy Folk, Jaime Saranczak, Becky Vingo and Rose Sullivan for indexing these records.
