Grandparents Villages

[Dan K]

Attachment 904Hi All
I am trying to find the birth villages of my great grandparents. I have a 'Testimonium ortus et baptismi' for both of them. I have an idea of what it says but I have not been to find any of the villages/town listed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Dan

Thanks to google translate it looks like the opening words "officium parochiale ecclesiae" mean "the office of parish church", which leaves the only capital word on that line on both documents as what appears to be Mchawa. To confirm that I think this is the village, on the top right the word "parochia" means "the parish of" and what appears to be "Mchawa" written beside it on both as well. Mchawa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This link seems to confirm that this "Mchawa" is the right village and that it's in the same area as the word "Baligrod" appears just above "Mchawa" on the upper right of each card.

Anyhow, I'm no expert but this is what seems to make sense based the above info. Hope it helps.

Dear Dan!
Steve pointed out correctly. This village Mhava/Mchawa. It is in Poland. Watch: Mchawa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the future, for genealogical research you need metric books. In Przemysl archive is a Greek Catholic metric book Mhava: birth 1784-1837, marriage 1786-1800, 1802-1838, death 1792-1836.
Other metric book probably is the local archives.

Stephen, Igor thank you very much for the information.

Do you if any of the metric books are online?

Dan, this appears to be a copy of their baptismal certificate, not original, did you order these? If so, where can I order copies? I only have one for my uncle and it is in a bit of disrepair being written in 1928.
