17 July 1865
The register records Michał Świątek, 24, and Marianna Król, 15, marrying in Mędrzechów. It names parents, houses 38 and 37 and a consent statement attributed to the bride’s father. House numbers do not establish adjoining plots.

A matching-parent 1872 Joannes has a later death annotation for 1873. A 1875 entry has the same parental names but conflicting grandmother names. Neither can be assigned automatically to American John Swantek.
The Atlantic bridge is still open
The event is verified; its place in Robin’s American lineage remains incompletely proved. A matched American original naming John’s parents is the next decisive document.
