Thank you again for all your help!

Birth Record No. 191, Latowicz, of Marianna Walewska, born in Latowicz on the 5th December 1847, christened on the 6th December 1847, daughter of Jan Walewski, a town dweller, 50 years old, from Latowicz, and of his wife, Magdalena, born Ozimek, 34 years old. Witnesses: Jakob Maciejec, 29 years old, and Pawel Jarmul, 58 years old, both town dwellers from Latowicz. Godparents: Piotr Ożarek and Anastazja Ozimkowa (wife of Ozimek).
Maryanna name was later spelled as Marianna and it is generally so spelled in most Geneteka indexed records, it is an equivalent of Maria. This year when I talked to a parish priest, he told me that using Maryanna or Marianna instead of Maria, for female infants, was due to respect for Saint Maria, Mother of Jesus, reserving the name Maria just for Mother of Jesus. Recently the names Maria or Marianna are often used in Poland.
Generally, the surname of female would be Walewska, but recently as some people questioned why the surname of father is different from the surname of a daughter, in genealogical research now more often the surname of female could be the same as her father’s. In this case Marianna Walewski, rather than Walewska. It is up to you to decide which names you want to use.
