Genealogical Proof Reportfor the Birth Place of Kammila Murawski
Prepared by Rob Bongiovi
Summary of Findings
Kammila Murawski Sejda was likely born in Austria because that is what is reported on her Henry Sejda's birth certificate. Since Henry is her son, she or her husband probably provided the birth place. However, since they were recent immigrants it may have been confused. Also, the geopolitical boundaries of that part of Europe in 1915 may be different that today's boundaries, further confusing the issue.
Itemized Research Findings
1 assertions from 1 sources were considered in evaluating this claim.
The Henry Sejda Birth Certificate[1] asserts that Kammila Sejda was born in Austria.
The source reviewed was a Derived Record, introducing the risk of copy errors. The information is believed to be Primary (meaning the person providing the information was a knowledgeable eyewitness or participant in the event). The evidence supporting the claim is considered Direct (meaning it adequate to answer the question directly).
Her son's, Henry Sejda's, Birth Certificate lists her place of birth as Austria. Since she or her husband were the informant, this is likely true, however since they were recent immigrants the facts could be confused. Also, at this time (1915), the borders of nations in that part of Europe were changing so the actual location of her birth in today's map may be different.
