Well. here's the thing, . . .   I am trying to help someone find her great-great grandmother's home village in the Poznan area of Poland.  Her name was Mariana Michalska (at least this someone thinks it was Michalska from a note on a photo of her sister Agnieszka.  Mariana was born in Dec. 1827.  She married an Andrew Baranowski in Poland sometime before 1853 when her first son was born.  (birthplace unknown; father's name taken from son's marriage record in US).   Now the LDS has a record: MARIANNA MICHALSKI  Christening:  08 DEC 1827   Katholische Kirche, Graudenz, Westpreussen, Preussen Parents:   Father:  ANDREAS MICHALSKI    Mother:  AGNES NOWICKA    (this family has about six children, the youngest I believe is an Agnieszka).   Now in the Poznan Marriage           --- On Mon, 7/21/08, Debbie Greenlee <daveg@airmail.net> wrote: From: Debbie Greenlee <daveg@airmail.net> Subject: Re: [POLAND] maiden names To: poland-roots@rootsweb.com Cc: anfyslek@yahoo.com Date: Monday, July 21, 2008, 9:59 AM If this is a Polish record, I picture the groom's name followed by his father's name and then mother's name possibly indicating _her_ maiden name or that SHE is the daughter of so and so. This column would be followed by other info and then the bride's name followed by her father's name and mother's name possibly indicating the _mother's_ maiden name or that she is the daughter of so and so (listing _her_ father's name). The nice thing about these formats is that you go back at least another generation or two. Now, if your situation is different than the above, I think we'd need more info. The best thing to do is to post a scan of the document so we can take a look at it. Let the list know if you need a place to post the scan.

My Grandmother's maiden name was Baranowski. But I only know she was born in Turosl ... in the Masurian Lakes region. this would be close to Poznan, but in the Lomza region for her. I know her Father's name was Piotr Baranowski, born in 1876 and dies in 1950 and I am told is burried in Turosl so I assume that's where he came from, but that's as far as I go back. Grandma came to the US as a teenager in 1935 after marrying Stanislaw Bognacki who was born in the US but raised and was from the same area in Poland. I know there is a big hotel, Hotel Baranowski in the Lakes region. I doubt this is any relation of ours ... in my family they were all farmers with no means to speak of and a lot of children. There is a large group of Baranowskis in Connecticut, but also not any recent (if any at all) relation of to me and mine. Please let me know if this rings any bells for you. I know Grandma had a lot of brothers and sisters, including one sister who is still living (in Vegas I think). I would be very interesting in knowing anything about the Baranowski's that you find ... with all those children, who knows! We are probably all related!

AF, If the record only has what you've typed then there is nothing unusual in the way the information is recorded. Even in the U.S. on birth certificates it asks for the mother's maiden name. Note that the child in your record is listed with her father's surname, Michalski(a) though.
