Płonna Greek Catholic Marriages 1784 - 1862 (Powiat Sanok, Poland)

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

These marriage records were indexed using the online images, which were filmed by the Przemyśl Civil Archives, zespół 2082, "Akta stanu cywilnego Parafii Greckokatolickiej w Płonnej", sygnatura: 56/2082/0/0/4. You can see the original images at https://skany.przemysl.ap.gov.pl/show.php?zesp=2082&cd=0&ser=0&syg=4 or contact me (Debbie Greenlee) for information on how to receive copies.

It appears the Greek Catholic priest used his own abbreviations when writing out the grooms' given and surnames. For example he wrote, Georgi Gulik instead of Georgius Gulik.

Instead of writing a 'w', the priest might have written a 'v'. He also transliterated masculine (Ukrainian) Łemko surnames into Polish using common Ukrainian endings, -iv/iw, ow and uw. We included these endings in the male surnames. The priest also combined nominative and genitive cases in names such as in "Leontius Nieczystego". So, to say we had a difficult time transcribing this book would be an understatement.

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.

Polish diacriticals were used in order to spell the names correctly if we felt it was a Polish name, and you will need to use them in your search terms. Surname spellings changed a bit so you should be flexible when searching. If you expect to have the letter 'j' or 'i' in a surname, try substituting 'y'; Gayda/Gajda, Barylak/Barilak. The surname Worotyła may be found spelled as Worotyło.

If a widow remarried, she was listed by her most recent married name, not her maiden name. To obtain her maiden name you may need to view the original record, though the maiden name was not always listed in the record.

Some of the records include the names of the first husband or wife. Many records also include the names of the brides’ and grooms’ parents. Many records also include the occupation.

The S/W column indicates whether the person was single prior to this marriage or was a widow or widower.

This was a difficult book to index so I suggest that you order the original image from me (Debbie Greenlee) to make sure we transcribed names correctly
