Nowotaniec Civil Marriages, Volume 9, 1900 – 1945

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

These are CIVIL marriage records copied from the Nowotaniec parish records, according to the law at the time, and as of 2020, can be found in the Urząd Status Cywilnego in Bukowsko.

It may appear that pages are missing but those were blank pages or birth or death records which were in the same book. The birth and death records are indexed separately.

Most records also include birth dates. Some people were born in one village but living in another village when they married. This information is usually listed in the original record. This index only lists the villages people were living in at the time of the marriage. The records often included the widows’ or widowers’ first spouses’ names. The records also include the names of the brides’ and grooms’ parents.

Polish diacriticals were used in order to spell the names correctly and you will need to use them in your search terms. Surname spellings changed a bit so you should be flexible when searching.

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 Jakubowska, search on Jakubowski.

In some cases the bride will have been married previously. We recorded her first married name, not her maiden name.

Most of the records do include the names of the first husband or wife.

Most of the records include the birth dates of the groom and bride.

In some cases the ages listed by the priest are incorrect when you take into account the birth date listed. We listed the age written by the priest.

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.

The village listed is where the person was living at the time of the marriage, not necessarily where they were born, although that information may be in the record.

Thank you to Janet George, Susan Udinsky, Valerie Bell, Rebecca Vingo and Jaime Saranczak for helping to index these records.
