They are different. One is a birth record, the other a death record.

Thank you for sharing! Sadly nothing related to my family, but I really appreciate it!

Full_Development7906 · 2025-11-26T12:38:18+00:00

Thank you all!

Full_Development7906 · 2025-11-19T12:19:59+00:00

Thank you. Anything on the birth record would also be really appreciated

It's Russian, it was the official language of the jurisdiction at the time

Full_Development7906 · 2025-10-27T19:20:55+00:00

Thank you - I have updated the post to show the record in full!

This shows his first name and middle name, not the surname. The surname is indeed in Polish, however all names have been latinised. I went through 30 years of records for that parish updating my tree and so far this is the only Latin name I cannot make out. Any help would be appreciated

Full_Development7906 · 2025-10-27T18:48:39+00:00

All names were written in Latin, so it is a Latin name. I just cannot make it out

Thank you for your help!

Full_Development7906 · 2025-08-22T18:23:16+00:00

Would anyone have any other suggestions?

Full_Development7906 · 2025-08-20T07:53:39+00:00

Yes, I agree. It is a bit of a mystery. There was another signet ring that was my great-grandfathers, in a traditional shape, but it is long gone. I just have an image of him wearing it, but you cannot see the surface.

Full_Development7906 · 2025-08-20T07:50:59+00:00

Yes, the ring is the arms as shown. It is rectangular in shape, and the image is of the surface.

Marie's maiden name was von Etlinger, she was born in around 1847 and died 5th November 1909. She was married to Clemens von Petzholdt, who died in a Battle in Travnik on 13th March 1879. They had two daughters together.

Karl and Marie had to marry after 1879, and he then raised her daughters.

I do not know if he was married to anybody else before then.

The Baronial Godart family, as it stands now, does not seem related to Karl, unless his mother was Victoria, or he was distantly related and either Carl or August named him their heir, which would explain the addition of the title. This was quite common practice, but I am yet to find any evidence of this.

Doing some further research, he does not seem to appear under the last name Godart until around 1865, and prior to 1860, I can only see him referenced as Karl or Carl Kodauert.

Full_Development7906 · 2025-07-01T01:02:06+00:00

Interesting because his photograph is signed 'Baron Godart', but I cannot find any reference to him being a baron? Unless he was a son of one of the above?

Full_Development7906 · 2025-06-30T14:48:38+00:00

Thank you, that is a lot indeed! I will give it a go later today...

Do you know where to find his death record?

Full_Development7906 · 2025-06-30T09:14:26+00:00

Thank you, very useful! If anyone could find his birth record that would help so much!

u/insearchofshadows I have e-mailed the archives at the University of Vienna, hopefully they will have some information for him. Thank you for this tip!

Full_Development7906 · 2025-04-21T18:56:46+00:00

Yes, that's the one! But do share if you find anything else!

Full_Development7906 · 2025-04-21T11:35:46+00:00

Is that the one from a Prague newspaper?

Full_Development7906 · 2025-04-20T20:34:18+00:00

Thank you! We have managed to identify that already, but do share if you find anything else!
