Hi,

I think a better approach is to give precise information on which parent/ancestor you’re looking for (surname/name and place of birth). Chropaczów had a very large area and was reduice during the XIX-XX centuries.
Thus there are a lot of USC (Civil Status) that can fit your demand (Świętochłowice USC, Bytom USC, …)

Kind Regards

Hi,

You can find Lasowitz in the parish Repty Stare.

Hi Przemek,

We have a duplicate of the baptisms of the parish Kamien in the Dropbox for the period 1807-1815. What is the différence between our books and the Archive Archidiocesal of Katowice ? I didnt find the surname Bartnicki for the period 1807-1811.

Perhaps there are some Bartnicki in Bedzin Trojca Pzren?

Kind regards

Hi Damian,

I agreed to be part of the MyHeritage’s project „Founder Population”.
First at all, the DNA test is the same like others vendors.
The result is three CSV (plain text file with separate comma) files.
On the first, there are about 700,000 SNPs lines starting from chromosome number #1 to #22.
For each SNP, they provide the identifier, chromosome number, base pair position and genotype.The genotype is reported on the forward (+) strand with respect to the human reference build 37.
The second file gather data about chromosome X.
The third file contains small data about chromosome Y.
I think the CSV structure files is the same like FTDNA, 23andme, … .
With the autosomal tools, I can match any other DNA (Ancien DNA, other living people and so on). So I discover that my DNA match most BR2 (Hungary Ancient DNA) 30% but it is a estimation.
But, MyHeritage doesn’t provide so far ethnicity report. There are working on it.

I am sot sure but I would like to know my Haplogroup regarding my Y DNA data.
But in fact I cannot do much so far with only the autosomal DNA raw data.

What I can do is wait for the ethnicity report but the quality of DNA matches is not as good as FTDNA Report.

By the way, I don’t know if it is useful to join the project Silesia.

Kind regards.

Hi Miroslaw,

Why the Parish Siemonia was not listed in the third or four step ?
It’s a part of Upper Silesia as described in this website.
I am very disapointed.

Kind Regards

Hello,

I can read most data but not all. Be sure that your grandfather is born German.
Can you post your translation to the topic tłumaczenie ? 🙂
Other People can read more than me.
You can discover your mystery easily by asking the USC with the number mentionned 1662/96 (I guess you already now that)
I think the marriage record will bring useful informations for you.
Well I am curious but really the nationality of your GF is history. You just want to know if he was german or polish? What is so important ?
Just a information: There is no automatic change of his nationality unless the Poland Republic will be back after 1945. He is born German and remains German.
Wait to read the marriage record..

Kind Regards
