    Hello MarsL,
    there is a tiny misunderstanding. There is not a place called "Kruszewo Stamt", but the marriage-entry is from the registry office of Kruszewo. ("Stamt" is the abbreviation of Standesamt = registry office) The registry office did certainly document the confession and possibly more information.
    Do you know, which place ist relevant? There are several places called Kruszewo: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruszewo.
    Probably it is K-Glaby or K-Wypychy, because both are independent communes and will have an own registry office.
    Kind regards
    Detlef

    Good morning Detlef,


    thank you for your explanation about the registry office :thumbsup: and about Kruszewo!


    I'm glad to be able to tell you that a very nice gentleman helped us finding the marriagecertificate from Gustav and Anna!

    The site is Polish but the certificatetext is in old German.


    Ok, i still do not know it is K-Glaby or K-Wypychy.... ?(



    Have a wonderful day!

    Hello MarsL,
    have you made or got a transcription and translation of
    the marriage certificate? I guess not, because there are several
    information in that document which might be useful for your further
    researches. E.g. you asked for the confession. The Karwatts are
    catholic.
    If I'm right don't hesitate to ask me. I will need a few days time for doing it.
    By the way: The certifikate is from Czarnikau. "Your" Kruszewo is a rural commune of the town Czarnikau.

    Hello Detlef and good evening :)


    I had some help from a dutch genealogical forum who helped me with the right translation.
    I could post an image but i do not know how...
    Sadly i did not had the time to look at the links you send because we are also taking care of our father.
    He is terminally ill and will pass away soon.


    Of course i will get back to you about those links ;)


    Have a nice evening!


    Sincerely,


    MarsL

    Hello MarsL,
    what I learnt from your marriage certifikate is this, partwise in adition to your notes:
    1.) The certifikate is fixed by the registry office of Charnikau (not Kruszewo)
    2.) Gustav Johann Karwatt was a laborer, personally known in the commune
    3.) He was catholic, born 15.11.1867 in Neufahrwasser, commune Danzig *)
    4.) He was resident of Oberhof, district Charnikau
    5.) Oberhof was a big farm approxymately 3 km east of Charnikau, https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/20367012
    6.) Gustav was resident of Heiligenbrunn, commune Danziger Höhe (705 inhabitants in 1905), https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kreis_Danziger_H%C3%B6he
    7.) The bride was Anna Chmielnik, an unwedded laborer, personally known in the commune
    8.) Anna was catholic
    9.) Anna was born 21.02.1873 in Gembitz, commune Charnikau
    10.) Anna's parents were the laborer Valentin Chmielnik and his wife Gertrud née Zielinski from Oberhof
