Tombstone Tuesday: Agnieszka & Piotr
@applegategenealogy
I never win ANYTHING, but last week, I won a copy of Tips and Tricks for Deciphering German Handwriting. My review? I give it 5-out-of-5 stars: it’s great for the beginning genealogist who’s just starting out with German records and for experienced researchers who want to brush up on their translating skills.

This week’s #52ancestors is “At the Library,” so here’s a throwback to my trip to Dublin two summers ago. 🍀 My favorite stop was Trinity College Library, where I saw the Book of Kells and the Brian Boru Harp. Take a tour yourself! #linkinbio >> @applegategenealogy

Celestia means “heavenly,” and my great-great-grandmother certainly lived up to the name. This #52Ancestors unusual name features on the blog this week! #linkinbio >> @applegategenealogy

Churches were at the center of my Bluhm ancestors' story, but the churches, themselves, are the focus of this one. More church photos on the blog! #linkinbio >> @applegategenealogy

That’s one heck of a nice grave stone… and expensive too!

I know–the Marczynski’s went all out! I think Agnes and Peter were the wealthiest of the siblings, too–that’s what my grandmother has always said.

That’s a beautiful tombstone. Agnes and Peter must have been very well-loved.

I hope so! Of the Marczynski siblings, I know the least about Agnes and her husband. They kept to themselves a little more than my great-grandmother and her other sisters, and I’m hoping one of their descendants will come across this and have more family stories to share!

I’m sure you’ll get your wish in due course, the connectivity of blogging being what it is.

What a long widowhood… I find these pics both beautiful and very poignant…

Thank you! And that seems to have been the norm in her family–Agnes and her sisters lived into their 80s and 90s and were widowed early, including my great-grandmother. Sad, yes, but they were strong women!

Yes – and there’s also an argument that says they may not have been permitted to be quite that strong had they remained married for all that time.
