Murkowskis in Chicago
My ancestor is Helen Murkowski. Her parents were Stanislaw Murkowski and Marianna Nalepinski from Kcynia in Poland. Stanislaw Murkowski was born Stanislaw Marcellinus Morkowski in Kcynia on 30 Oct 1781 to Chrisostum Murkowski and Marianna Pezalinski.
In the earliest records Murkowski was spelled Mórkowski with a kreska over the o. This made the same sound as Murkowski. The family name migrated from Morkowski to Murkowski in the early 1800s.
Stanislaus Murkowski was often listed as civis and provisor eclesia on his children's birth records. Provisor Eclesia meant a church or community manager. He was apparently a middle class townsman with some influence in the church. Some of the godparents of his children were listed as DNUS and DNA (Dominus and Domina = Mr. and Mrs. [terms for nobility]) and were also influential in the community.
Stanislaw Murkowski was first married to Franciszka Dogorska and had several children from this marriage. Many of these children immigrated to Wisconsin. Francis died on 5 June 1839 and Stanislaw, who was 60, remarried a 20 year old woman named Marianna Nalepinski on 13 January 1840.
