Searching Cyrillic documents for Cichon ancestors

I’ve recently come across two great Polish websites to do Polish genealogy research– to find stuff not on ancestry or familysearch.

Broken down by provinces, http://www.geneteka.genealodzy.pl/ has a lot of easily searchable information. It almost acts as an index for http://metryki.genbaza.pl/, which has scanned thousands of Polish church records.

I’ve found what I can on the first, and now I’m staring at Polish documents written in Russian.

That first line is CICHON in Cyrillic.

The next line is Jan Cichon… The final line is Jan Cichon in Roman letters.

I just keep looking for Чехойнь until I go blind or find my great grandfather, whichever comes first.
