Marriage indexes of the parishes of Zbuczyn and Trzebieszów

The Sources section holds a study of the marriage register of the parish of Zbuczyn, 1777–1810. The whole register is covered: 2 301 entries.

The parish registers section contains two eighteenth-century marriage registers: of the parish of Trzebieszów for 1732–1778 (2 041 entries) and of the parish of Zbuczyn for 1727–1748 (1 186 entries). Both have been worked through in full, like the earlier Zbuczyn register of 1777–1810.

For every marriage the table gives the year, the entry number and the date, the groom and the bride, social estate, place, marital status and notes. A separate tab holds a literal translation of every entry. The description of the archival unit also covers the loose documents kept at the front of the register, among them dispensations from 1774–1782. The study also has a summary and a search whose results can be narrowed down.

Every entry was read twice, each time independently. Where the two readings differ, a fresh reading of the manuscript settles the matter; places left unsettled are marked [?], as are passages that could not be read with certainty.

Each entry carries the number from the margin of the register. Where the register confuses its numbering, the running number of the entry is given alongside in brackets, for example 336 (346).

Uncertain readings of surnames and place names are compared with other entries of the same register and with the other sources on this site: the castle court records, the Tribunal extracts, the tax registers, the notarial deeds and the mortgage registers. The [?] mark stands where neither the same person nor the same family in that place is recorded with certainty anywhere else.

The same comparison covers the notarial deeds of Łuków and Siedlce, the Siedlce mortgage registers, the Tribunal extracts and the poll-tax registers of 1673–1674.

Couples in the “Selected families” tab of the notarial deeds study who may correspond to marriages in this register carry a link to the marriage entry. These are possible links to be checked, not a merging of persons.

On the timeline in the Sources section the registers of Zbuczyn and Trzebieszów share one row, which expands into the individual registers when clicked; it shows the gap in the Zbuczyn registers between 1748 and 1777.
