Is there translation help for marriage records?
Hi! This is my first time posting, so I am not sure if this is allowed. Does anyone offer translation help? I have two marriage records, and I basically want to confirm that they are indeed brothers to each other and sons of Valentine. I think that is what this is saying, but I don't want to assume.
The records on for Franz Mocny/Loreck (3rd from bottom) and Valentine Mocny/Kleinert (also 3rd from bottom). I attached the full record and a zoomed in record. I am sorry if this isn't allowed.
Thank you for any help!

@RebeccaIvey1 we are so glad you have joined our Poland Community. This is a great post.
We are able to help with translation. Sometimes we have to be patient as we wait for the person with the needed skill set to come along.
Be sure to see the valuable resource links at the top of the page - so helpful.
We look forward to your questions and comments! Enjoy today - Cindy Jarvis

Hi Rebecca,
First I will look at the first record, which is actually in German. Knowing the place where this record is from would be helpful in figuring out the towns that are mentioned. Put your town into Pilot.pl and look around the map to figure out the nearby towns.
5 October. The young man Franz Mocny ____ son of ____ settler Valentin Mocny from Harrasihowska?? with the young woman Katharina, ___ daughter of landless farm laborer Simon Lorek? from Rowolowsk? Witnesses are Carl Konodziej? colonist and ____ Gottlieb Kirchner from Kowolowska?

The second record:
24 January, On the four and twentieth of January, the young man Valentin Mocny, son of the resident of (this is the same town, some version of ?arrowsikowska), deceased colonist Valentin Mocny, with the young woman Francisca, ____ daughter of colonist Simon Kleinert from (the same town). There is something else before the witnesses that I can't get, do you really need the witnesses?

Thank you! Yes, I believe those records were found here (https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1015382?availability=Family%20History%20Library) 8094904. I can get you the exact reel and page number later tonight. The current town is Kolonowskie, Poland.

Thank you! This is a huge help. This also shows Valentin died sometime between 1851 and 1853!
I don't think I need the witnesses. I appreciate this so much. I think you answered all of my questions, but I stated the wrong reel. It was 8016497 image 88 (1851) and image 92 (1853), but these can only be accessed at the Family Search Center.
Again, thank you!
