RENKIEWICZ/RYNKIEWICZ's from the Mscichy, Zebry and Wasosz areas in NE Poland

Wasosz Catholic Church	Wasosz Cemetery

Roman Catholic Church in Wasosz apparently where my Great Grand Parents worshiped. My GF Jan Renkiewicz was born on 19 Nov 1878 and christened on 21 Nov 1878.  His brother Antoni Renkiewicz was born 5 Nov 1880 also in Zebry as well as their sister Anna Renkiewicz who was born on 20 Aug 1887.  I don't have any photos of Antoni Renkiewicz however, I do have one of my GF and his sister Anna in separate photos. 

Marianna's Marriage Certificates on left to Renkiewicz on right to Merchelski Marianna Chmielewska marriage to Andrzej Renkiewicz on 4 Feb 1878 in Wasosz, Poland Marianna (Chmielewska) Renkiewicz marriage to Andrzej Merchelski on 6 Feb 1888 in Wasosz, Poland

Here is the pic of my GGP's home #14 Zebry.  Standing to the left of the home is Pani Halina (KLIMASZEWSKA) Merchelska who married 1st husband,  Bronislaw Merchelski and these are direct descendents of my family lineage.  Bronislaw Merchelski died in 1968 and Pani Halina married another of Jozef Merchelski's sons who was named Sabin Merchelski.  Sabin died on 7 Jun 2005.  Jozef Merchelski's wife was BRONIS3AWA SIERBInSKA.My Great Aunt Anna lived with these Merchelski's until her death on 20 Oct 1982. I've also included a photo of the Town "Zebry" where a sign is posted.  In addition, I've enclosed a note written entirely in Polish from my great Aunt Anna written prior to 1939, to a Mr. Karwowski from nanticoke, trying to reach her brother Jan Renkiewicz (My GF) in the U.S.  The translation is alo included as a word document.

Merchelski Funeral-1963

Translation

Of note here is that my GF's brother Antoni had a God Father listed as:

ANTONI RENKIEWICZ, b. 5 Nov 1880, Zebry, Poland³, D. 10 Dec 1934 in Nanticoke, PA

Notes for ANTONI RENKIEWICZ:

Witnesses at the birth certificate:

Leonard Kulikowski, 44 years old

Stanislaw Barglowski, 30 years old

Farmers of Zebry

Godparents:

Wojciech (Albert) Karwowski and Marianna Dobrzynska

So it kind of ties these surnames together along with the note from my great Aunt.  I haven't been able to locate a Mr. Karwowski in the census from nanticoke as of yet.

Anna never emigrated into the U.S. and stayed in Zebry, Poland where she married a Jozef Ciecierski and never had any children.  Anna lived to be 95 years young and died on 10 Oct 1982 and is buried in the Roman Catholic Cemetary in Wasosz, Poland. She lived with Sabin and Halina Merchelski on #14 in Zebry, Poland until her death in 1982.  This was the very same area that my Great grand Parents lived in and where my Grand father Jan Renkiewicz was born.
