Akt Znania - Andzrej Powroz, Szadek, 1825

Colonel88

Hello,

May I receive help with the following translation(s)?

This is an Akt Znania for Andzrej Powroz (I have convinced myself that the most suitable transition of “Akt Znania” is “Record of Acquaintanceship”)

The document quite lengthy (three pages), so I’ll break this request up into three separate posts. My best effort in translating is included.

Thank you and best regards,

Mike
