Penny, assuming this is your family, Frank Gajtkowski & Marie Rogowska, then they were married in 1891. Have you looked for this marriage record? Also, assuming they lived in the same house from the time of their marriage to the 1900 census, living at 3616 Tulip St, Philadelphia, have you tried to find a church marriage record for them. Were they Catholic? Jewish?, Protestant? etc. With some researching, you should be able to find out what churches were nearby where they lived. Going to Google map, show some of the streets near 3616 Tulip st. were: E. Pacific St, E. Venango st, Aramingo Ave., Castor Ave., Weikel St., Janney St. P.S. This is how I found out what church my great-grandparents were married in Chicago, which listed their parents names.

Dear Ruth and Group.   First, Ruth thank you for the info on Gutouski.  I will check out the town to see if there are any Gajtkowski family in them.  As I said, I have no information on Victoria except she was Franz' mother.   Frank was born May 1861.  He married my grandmother in St Laurentus church in Philadelphia.  They were Roman Catholic.    As for the info about where Franz and my grandmom were married, I have all that info, their children's baptismal info.  I even have all the info about Franz' first wife and child including where they are buried and what family members are buried with them.    I live in Philadelphia where Franz settled so I am familiar with his Philadelphia addresses.  But again, thank you for the information.    As for the 1900 Census, I never even noticed there was someone named Dardecnska living with them.  I will have to follow that through.  I wonder if they were borders, and even if they were they might have been family/friends?  Never heard of the name.    Again, thank you.  ________________________________ From: Ruth Pokorny <ppokorny@new.rr.com> To: poland-roots@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, May 26, 2012 12:28 PM Subject: Re: [POLAND] Gajtkowski Penny, assuming this is your family, Frank Gajtkowski & Marie Rogowska, then they were married in 1891.

Penny, Do you have baptismal certificates or photocopies of the complete entries as written in the church books? I ask because certificates are issued to prove the event took place and may not contain *all* of the info recorded in the church register. (The same is true for marriage records.) In most church records I've found a birthplace for the child's parents. Sometimes the priest wrote down just the country or region where they were born and sometimes he wrote the exact village name - which is why it's important to obtain the records for *all* children. -Marie
