Mary Bereta's Family History - Part 2 continued

In the above mentioned church records, the grandparents of Mary Bereta's maternal side were found. Mary's mother was Victoria Kamyczek. Victoria's father was Casimer Kamyczek and his parents were Sebastian Kamyczek and Regina Kokoszka. Victoria's mother was Marianna Kokoszka (see last post) and her parents were Joseph Kokoszka and Regina Kaczmarczyk. Mary Bereta's maternal grandparents, Marianna Kokoszka and Casimer Kamyczek were married on April 5, 1826 in Stary Wisnicz.

Victoria Kamyczek's paternal grandmother, Regina Kokoszka, died 8/29/1842 and her maternal grandfather, Joseph Kokoszka, died 5/22/1841. From these church records we can see that there is a frequent mention of names marrying each other: Bereta, Kokoszka, Kamyczek, and Kaczmarczyk.

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).
