Biography

Wawrzyniec 's Profile is a BRICK WALL Help is Needed.

It is not certain where Wawrzyniec was born or who his parents may be. Because his wife was born in Stare Modzele and baptized at Puchały, a brief, casual search through the Roman Catholic Records of Puchały, Poland did not reveal a male Kosakowski in the age bracket that would suit him.

Wawrzyniec Koszykowski and Vikotya Modzelewska could have married in Zambrow or Puchały but after marriage, Lawrence (Wawrzyniec) Kosakowski lived in Wdziękoń.^[1], Lomza, Poland. Family stories dictated that Wawrzyniec Koszykowski worked for a large estate near Modzele. He then lived in Wdziękoń, probably as a farm laborer. ^[2]. He married Viktoria Modzelewski, who was descended from the old landed Modzelewski family in that region. Laurence , "Warzyneic" (in Polish), was still living when his last child left for America on November 10, 1910.^[3] It is assumed that he died between that date and 1918 as his wife was widowed when she died in the Spanish flu epidemic in 1918.^[4]

In Polish: Wawrzyńca i Wiktorii Kossakowski

Research Note

A Geneteka search brought up a Feliks Wawrzyniec Koszykowski baptized in Drozdowo - need to further explore the Drozdowo Kosakowskis - which is 5 miles close to Puchały.

A deeper search into the Kosakowski, aka Koszykowski, family at Drozdowo, located the parents of Feliks Wawrzyniec Koszykowski were Andrzej Kossykowski (the son of Piotr Koszykowski and Rozalia Karwowska who married in 1814 at Drozdowo (Record no. 281. 1814 Drozdowo Catholic marriages). They lived at Rakowo-Czachy ; his mother was Józefata Nowakowska (the dau of Jan Nowakowska and Katarzyna). Feliks Wawrzyniec Koszykowski's parents were married at the Parish of Puchały, in 1847. (Record#15, Puchały Catholic Marriages 1847). Józefata Nowakowska was from Rakowo-Czachy ^[5]. Andrzej Kossykowski lived at Rakowo-Czachy and they raised their children there.

More on his father, Andrzej Koszykowski was born in 1820 at Rakowo Czachy as the son of Piotr Koszykowski and Rozalia Karwowska. (Record no.35. Baptismals 1820. Drozdowo Catholic). His wife, Józefa Koszykowski, died in 1857 which is when her son, Feliks Wawrzyniec Koszykowski' , was barely two years old and newborn Teofila Koszykowska. Andrzej remarried as a widower to a widow from Rakowo-Czachy in 1869 (Record no.11. Drozdowo Catholic Marriages 1869). Her name was Katarzyna Łapińska (dau of Maciej, Marianna). She was the widow of Jakob Rogiński. When Andrzej Kossykowski died at Rakowo Czachy on the 22 of July, 1887 (Record no.71. Deaths 1887. Drozdowo Catholic), his zona was still living.

More on his Paternal Grandfather, Piotr Kosykowski, of Rakowo-Czachy: He died at the age of 44, in 1828, at Rakowo Czachy, the zona (husband) of Rozalia Karwowkska, (Death Record no.50, Drozdowo Catholic Records). Piotr Koszykowski 's father was listed as Andrzej Koszykowski and his mother as Aleksandra Sokołowska.
