Most of this material has been adapted from the printed book version of Index to Marriages in Nagoszyn, copyrighted 1992 by James J. Czuchra and used with his permission.

Introduction

The index is based on a microfilmed copy of Roman Catholic records for the church in Nagoszyn, Poland made by the Genealogical Society in Salt Lake City, Utah. The records were originally from the Tarnów Diocesan Archives and were filmed in 1973¹.  These handwritten transcripts covered the years from 1789 to 1863.  At the end of the nineteenth century, a chronicler wrote that the wooden church that existed at that time in Nagoszyn had been built in 1790 and dedicated to Saint Barbara.  The church in Nagoszyn had been a branch church belonging to the parish of Przeclaw until 1862, when it assumed parish status in its own right.²  The coordinates of Nagoszyn are 50^o08^' N and 21^o26^' E.³   These will help you locate the village on maps you may have.

A lot of years were missing on this film.  Marriage records for the years 1795-1805, 1812, 1816, 1823, 1824, 1826, 1830, 1834, 1835, 1839, 1843, 1845, and 1853 were not on this microfilm.
