1920 in Schenectady, New York (Marriage
record
Pg1,

(Polish Prątnicki is pronounced in English as
Prontnicki, so one may find spelling variations PRONTNICKI,
PROTNICKI, PRATNICKI, PROTNICK)
Parents of
Wacław PRĄTNICKI:
Stanisław PRĄTNICKI and Bronisława KECZMEROWSKA
(Marriage
record,
translation)
(I could not find a birth record, circa 1894, for Wacław
Prątnicki, though I looked in both Szreńsk and
Lipowiec parishes.
Births for both parishes exist
for all relevant years except Lipowiec 1894, which therefore, is most likely the
year of his birth.)
