Jakub Nerczyński and Marianna Goszczyńska-Duszyńska: Are they related?
Hello,
Given the following situation and document trail, how confident (or skeptical) should I be that Marianna Goszczyńska-Duszyńska is the niece of Jakub Nerczyński? (References are provided for completeness; I do not need transitions of the documents.)
I have a death record of Józef Michał de Goszczeński Duszyński (1). Reporting the death was Kajetan Kowalewski. The death record specifically states that the deceased was the nephew (son of the sister) of Jakub Nerczyński (the Chojne Parish priest).
I have the Marriage record of Kajetan Kowalewski and Marianna Goszczyńska (2) (Marianna Duszyńska in other records). Jakub Nerczyński was in attendance at the wedding, and he also baptized their fist son (3).
In summary; Józef Michał de Goszczeński Duszyński was the nephew of Jakub Nerczyński. Is it safe then to assume that Marianna Goszczyńska (aka Duszyńska) was Jakub Nerczyński’s niece? Marianna clearly knew Jakub Nerczyński well; but she is never specially called out as being his niece. I unfortunately lack any documentation regarding the names of Marianna’s parents.
