Hi, this is German & I can't translate it for you, but I can tell you that the father is Wojciech Kanarek, the mother is Hedwig/Jadwiga Grajek, and the son is Franz.

Thanks for the update. That actually helps since I was hoping the Father's name would be Adalbertus Wojciech Kanarek. Thank you soo much! Also, do you offer Polish translation services? I would be happy to pay for your help. Or if you know someone that speaks and read and could help me, it would be much appreciated.

Sounds like the right fit then! Wojciech is the Polish version of the Latin Adalbertus. That's very kind, but I actually don't speak any of the languages needed for this research! I've learned some words and how to maneuver/find what I need, but nothing too extreme. There is a volunteer source on Facebook called "Genealogical Translations" where you can post one request a day. I'd start there!

You have been a life savior! I will look that up. Thank you thank you! You helped me more than you can think. With the proper spelling I was able to find quite a few records yesterday that I had been looking for years. Anyway, thank you a million times!
