Nadolany Civil Births Volume 10, 1900 – 1945

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

These birth records were bound into Nadolany Volume 10, which also contains marriage and death records, and were recorded at the Urząd Stanu Cywilnego in Bukowsko. This index is only for the births in Nadolany.

These are considered civil birth records even though the original records contain baptismal information. This book was copied in a handwriting different that in the baptisms. Some infants were Greek Catholic but were baptized by the Roman Catholic priest and people were not just from the village of Nadolany. This index does not contain baptismal information though it is available in the original records. Many infants received middle names and those are in the original records as well. Even though some of these records can be found in other record books, there can be a difference in what is recorded. For example one record in one book may include a death date while the same record in another book may not include that information. Names may also be different even though this book should be an identical copy.

From approximately 1906 through 1927 the baptizing priest (pastor) was Father A. Dobrowolski and the midwife was Teofila Krupa, later Żmigrodska. I give this information because it only appeared every few pages and if you request a page, that information may not be on it.

Sometimes infants that were stillborn did not receive names but their sex was indicated in the record. If a father is not listed then the child is probably listed as illegitimate in the record.

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 Silarska, search for Silarski.

You may also find a difference in how given names were recorded here as compared to the Nadolany Baptisms; Marianna (in these records) may be found as Maria in the baptismal records. Janina appeared in these records but in the Nadolany baptisms, the name was written as Joanna. Only further research will tell you which name is correct.

Sometimes an ‘a’ was written in this book but in the baptismal book an ‘o’ was written: Szatkowski vs. Szotkowski.

Some surnames were spelled differently than found in later or previous records. For example, if you are looking for Gać, search on Gac; Serwoński may be found as Serwonski and Serwański; Makysmik may be found as Maxymik; Fołta may be found as Folta; Sołtys may be found as Soltys; Sęk may be found as Senk; Kastraniec may be found as Kastraneć and Koźma may be found as Kożma and Kozma. In some cases these records indicated one sex while in the baptismal book the opposite sex is listed.

Some records include marriage and death information as well as grandparent information. Some records also include the birth dates for the mother and father. Not all births occurred in Nadolany; some even occurred in the U.S.
