[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Questions about Polish and Russian Research

[Bill Fife]

Dolly,

These appear to be symbols used in German church records.  If this is what
they are, the following may help.

~ represents baptized. Sometimes the baptism  date is shown in the records
and not a birth date.

oo when touching these mean married
o-o means an illegitimate connection
o/o means divorced

+ this is a plus sign and is probably meant to represent a
     cross, which in the records means died.

If my guess is correct, I would say that Gem Bieniew was baptized, married
and died 1826-1895 Ilow, Evangelical  Church = Wyszogrod, KB in Poland.
Perhaps someone else would have a better interpretation?

Bill
