The Kolodzey Family of Stara Lubovna

---

Andreas Kolodzey married Catharina Andrasovits on 17 Sep 1811 in Stara Ľubovňa, Stara Ľubovňa, Slovakia. This marriage record is Family 247 and was the first marriage record for a Kolodzey in the town of Stara Lubovna.  It predates any 'Kolodzey' baptism or burial record in Stara Lubovna with the exception of a baptism recorded for a Mariana Kolodzeyczyk in 1720, but it is not known if this family was the same as Andreas' family.

Information on Andreas & Catharina's marriage record in 1811 showed their ages as 28 and 25 years old - so Andreas was born around 1783 and Catharina around 1786.  It is uncertain as to where Andreas came from, but perhaps he was born in nearby Nizne Ruzbachy and moved to the growing city life in Stara Lubovna prior to meeting his wife, Catharina Andrasovitz.  Catharina was born in Stara Lubovna to parents Andreas Andrasovitz and Marjana.

Witnesses for their marriage were Antoni Vrecsenjak (v'ret-chen-yak) and Antoni Andrasovits.  Perhaps Antoni Andrasovits was Catharina's brother or uncle.
