Mary Bereta Family History - Part 2

There is a wealth of information on Film no. 2092290 which has the church records of Stary Wisnicz, Poland, the birthplace of Mary Bereta. Gayle Glinka Weyland, great grandaughter of Mary Bereta, has found another sibling of Mary's immediate family. On August, 16th, 1875, a year before Mary's birth, her older sibling Catherine was born. So we now know that there are four siblings in Mary Bereta's family: Catherine (8/16/187), Mary (11/23/1876, Anna (6/15/1879) and Jacob (6/6/1882).

Also found in these church records was the approximate death date of Marianna Kokoszka, Mary Bereta's maternal grandmother. Marianna must have died between the years of 1845 (when Mary's mother, Victoria Kamyczek was born) and 1851 because in the records we see that Casimer Kamyczek, Mary's maternal grandfather and Marianna Kokoszka's husband remarried to a woman named Maria, illegitimate daughter of Theresa Biernias (sp) and proceeded to have five more children: Joseph (1851), John (1856), Maria (1858), Adalbert (1861) and Joseph (1867). All of the Kamyczek children from both mothers were born in House number 64 in Stary Wisnicz. Marianna Kokoszka had four siblings through her father Joseph Kokoszka and mother Regina Kazmarczyk: Marianna (abt.1807 - 1845/1851), Margaret (6/26/1810), Anthony (1815) and Martin (1820).
