Many people think they know who he is, however, they are wrong.
And I do mean all of them. (at least until they get updated). I do plan on providing them with the correct documents and asking they update their information, but I'm not responsible if they choose not to.
The LDS records, Historical Societies and several website that claim various wild idea's. It was not until I discovered old records being released in foreign languages and translating those documents that I began to see their error's. That is why I began this site.
Here is what I do know (either by his own statements in family records or by sources I have properly entitled within this website).
- His name is Wojciech Zaborowski.
- The Family name is Zaborowski, there are no other surnames that are attributed to them.
**Note** Please see the subtitled page "My Name is My Clan", for further explanation of the relation to the Sobiesko.
- He was born in the town Engelsberg. The name has been changed, but it still exist and there are documents to prove it.
- In Polish the town is known as " Koprzywno" or "Koprzywnica", and still exists as of this day (2013).
**Note** Please see the subtitled page "Engelsberg".
- He arrived here in the USA on "The Fox" (de vos) 1662.
- He is from Prussia, but not the one you are think of.
- On the ships manifest he listed his his place of origin as "Prussia". But how would the Captian of this ship know it is known as "Weasle (Prussia) a stream".
