233. Polish Death Records, Death Certificate of Franciszek Degorski July 18th, 1860. Report #21 in 1860 Slesin Death Records., This is only an assumption and has not been verified as fact. Ten years before John Degurski is born in Slesin, a 27 year old father named Wojciech Degorski reports a death in Slesin. Due to the rarity of the Degorski name, the very small size of the village, the appropriate age of the man and the fact that there are very few Degorskis in Slesin at all over the 1800s, I am assuming that this Wojciech is our Wojciech.
