The Government Archives in Poznan found that in the files of the Archive Book that there is an original certificate that reads the following:
It occurred in the Town of Kazimierz on the fifth day of August, 1865 at about 3 PM came Fanciszek Kowalski, citizen of Kozarzewek, 26 years old in the company of Stanislaw Jozwiak Goscin who is 44 years old and Szcepan Brzezinski who is 42 years old, and citizens of Kozarzewek. They provided notice of a baby, male, born in Kozarzewek on August 3, 1865 at 4 pm from his wife, Antonina Kubalak who was 21 years old. The baby was named on his Christening Day, Wawrzniec, and his godparents are Stanslaw Jozwiak and Joanna Wozniak. Everyone is Catholic. This certificate was read and understood to be true by the witnesses. It is signed us because those present can’t write.

He passed away.
