A famous citizen of Argentina JORDAN WYSOCKI / from Europe, Poland as JORDAN SZCZĘSŁAW WYSOCKI – his life in Russia/Poland, the first documents of him and his family are found out in the present day Poland.

To correct the historical data: The true date of birth of Jordan Czesław Wysocki is not the year 1839 (as given in encyclopedias) but 1837, his first names are not Jordan Czeslaw, but Jordan Szczeslaw (Szczęsław, as fully in Polish language), and finally his father’s name is August or Augustyn Wysocki.

Below are scans of the original record of his birth / baptism from Poland, as well as the birth / baptism record of his sister Stanislawa Augusta Wysocka

From the above-mentioned entries about the Wysocki’s family and their close friends living in Pinczow, Poland (most of the 19th century under the rule of Russia), we can say – confirm:

I. Augustyn Wysocki – professor/teacher of the provincial and regional schools in Pinczow, the nobleman

II. His wife Monika Wysocka from the Marczynski (Marczyński in Polish language) family

III. Their daughter, Stanislawa Augusta Wysocka, born in Pinczow in the 1833 year.

(I’m typing all these names in the hope that they will be valuable in genealogical searches of other families in Poland).

I’ve managed to find with the historical documents of Russia/Poland from the 19th century a confirmation about Augustyn Wysocki, professor/teacher of geography and arithmetic, residing in in Pinczww in the 19th century (all information with names may be useful to teachers/students of schools in Pinczow)

Below is the translation of the found out the marriage (as the second one for Jordan’s father August Piotr Wysocki) record from Pinczow from the year 1862, telling the place og the origin of the Jordan Wysocki’s father August Wysocki:

I. Roman Catholic Church in Pinczow – the Marriage Record of AUGUST PIOTR WYSOCKI and HENRYKA ANNA ZABOROWSKA

Pinczow. 36.
It happened in Pinczow on the twenty-eighth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, at five o’clock in the evening. We know that in the presence of the witnesses Wgo Jan Rybicki, the Secretary, forty-five years old, and W. Antoni Gajewski, the Cashier of the City Hall of Pinczow, thirty-three years old, residing here in Pinczow today, a religious marriage was contracted by Father Franciszek Smolka (Smółka in Polish language), the Prefect of the Pinczow Junior High School, between blessed Wmjy August Piotr (of two first names) Wysocki, a widower after the death of Monika (Wysocka) née Marczyńska, who died on the twenty-second day of June this year
in Pinczow, the son of Walenty and Joanna from the Urban Wysocki spouses, now deceased, born in the City of Leszno in the Grand Duchy of Poznan, currently seventy-seven years old, the Professor Emeritus, residing here in Pinczow, and Miss Henryka Anna of two first names Zaborowska, daughter of Stanislaw Zaborowski, the sculptor, and Maryanna née family Niemczyski (Niemczyński in Polish language) and the Koniecpol Parish, on the twenty-seventh day of July, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-four, twenty-eight years old, residing here in Pinczow with her parents. This marriage was preceded by three Announcements on the twelfth, nineteenth and twenty-sixth of this month and year in the Pinczow Parish Church appeared. The permission for this marriage was verbally declared by the parents of the newlyweds present in the Act. The new spouses declared that they had not entered into any prenuptial agreement.

Henryk Wysocki

The above marriage record finally shows the place of the origin of Jordan Wysocki’s father – August (Augustyn) Piotr Wysocki – as the city of Leszno located in the Grand Duchy of Poznan in the 19th century.

Thus, August (Augustyn) Piotr Wysocki was born in Leszno in (around) 1785, and his parents were Walenty Wysocki and Joanna Wysocka née family Urbanski (Urbański in Polish language).

I am trying to continue genealogical research regarding the line of this Wysocki family, this time in the town of Leszno, Grand Duchy of Poznan from the 18th century, and maybe earlier.
