Family in Bielsko and Zgorzelec counties -- help, please

Hello!

I am researching my family lines in Silesia. I traced them back from Budapest, Hungary in the 1850s, surprised to learn of their origins in very small villages in Silesia.

I am wondering if anyone knows how I can find out more about them, through records, index material, anything available.

The Ritzek/Riczek family is from Buczkowice, Bielsko county, in Silesia. My ancestor is Catharina Ritzek, born around 1826 in Buczkowice; her father is Joannes, her mother Catharina Gluza.

The Maszlonka/Maslonka family is from Rybarkowice, Zgorzelec county, Lower Silesia. My ancestor is Mihaly Maszlonka, born around 1820 in Rybarkowice; he was illegitimate, his mother is Sofia Maszlonka.

Catharina Ritzek and Mihaly Maszlonka married in 1856 in Budapest (Catharina had been married before and was a widow), so I know they arrived to Budapest in the early 1850s. I am trying to trace their lives BEFORE coming to Budapest.

Does anyone have any clues or ideas or advice where I can look for more information/records from these two places in Silesia? I would appreciate any help!

Thank you very much!
