I am currently working on the RECHTANT branch of my family and would very much appreciate any suggestions to farther my research.

The family line I am focused on originates in Kozienice, Poland c. 1770.

According to stories the family took on the surname Rechthand following the head of the family taking a position managing the business of the Magid of Kozienice and becoming his right hand man. I am unfamiliar with any records relating to the business dealings of the Magid.

In the 1820’s I am finding 2 marriage records for Abram RECHTANT and Naftuly RECHTANT, these are the earliest records I have found with this surname in Kozienice. Abram and Naftuly are siblings and I have managed, using JRI-Poland to locate records relating to their descendents as well as records for the death of their father and mother.

I have also located the family in the Kozienice books of permanent residents – I will publish another questions concerning this subject at a later date.

Can anyone direct me to additional records types for Kozienice which I can utilize in my research?

Thank you,
