Okay here's the deal:
1. I have the birth record of Valentine (13 Feb 1831) showing Michal Jarecki and Marianna
Sieronciska as mother and father.
Establishes relationship
2. I have the christening record showing Valentinus and same mother and Father
Establishes lineage
3. I have the death certificate of Michal in 1863 showing Marianna as widow and Walenty
(Valentinus) as a surviving son age 32 yrs.
Establishes continuity
4th I have birth recordd of Angela Sophia Jarecka to Father Valentine Jarecki and
Theophila Sophia Hoffman as mother
Establishes a marriage between the two that produced a daughter.
5th I have the death certificate of Valentine 15 Dec 1913 in Krone (which is 14 miles from
Szubin) specifically listing his age as 82 years old (that would make him born in 1831.
Establishes strong probability that this is the same Valentine born to Michal and
Marianna
Problem is no where can I prove that he is the same other than strong coincidence. But
after looking over all the documents I see that there is a slight chance that this is
shear coincidence. I doubt it but could be. Please give me the info on your valentine
and documents that support the family ties.
thanks
joe
