Casimir Kowalewski, my great grandfather, was born about 1814 in what I believe to be the Brusy area of Kashubia, then in Prussia, but I have not located a birth record which I have complete confidence is correct. The family indicated his parents were Kashubian. His wife, Anna Gradowska, was born about 1818, likely near Czersk, but again the birth records have not been located. Czersk lies on the southern boundary of what was considered Kashubia in the early 1800s; however, she was not Kashubian. The couple was married in Czersk on January 23, 1849 and they lived nearby in the small township of Bielawy. They had five children including: Rosalia (1849), John (1851), Marianna (1855), Andreas (1857) and Joseph, my grandfather, (1860). Casimir died of typhoid in 1871 and Anna in 1880 in Kwieck (now Kwieki). [http://pgsmn.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/2009_V17_3_Fall.pdf]
