- The second or third bann may have been a ketubah.
- According to Webster's, banns are "public announcement[s] especially in church of a proposed marriage".
- They may have been Anusim who reverted to Judaism or passed as Catholic to marry, since Mackowa Ruda was small enough not be noted on JewishGen or have a chief "rabbi". According to GoMapper, its population is "very small".

- "Antoni" and "Katarzyna" were names used within the Jewish community.
- Even names like "Paul" (e.g., Pawel) were very common in the Jewish community. See, e.g., JewFAQ [Caution: it is an Anti-Messianic website, but good for understanding the Non- and Anti-Messianic perspectives, minhagim, and nusachim].
