Baptismal Information for Laudislaus Mazur from a Polish Church Record Index
The names in these records are Latin. I needed to know that Walter in English was Wladyslaw in Polish and Laudislaus in Latin. I could also do a search using just the last name, Mazur, and the names of his parents Stanislaus, and Katarzyna Novak. ( Entering "Stan*" and "Novak" in the search boxes produced the result I was looking for.) Familysearch.org, which holds the records I accessed, describes the records as being written in Polish, but the names in the index are Latin.
