A Proud Silesian Heritage!

E. H. Lepiarczyk — 14 Feb 2005 4:39:44 GMT

My ancestry from Silesia is very rich. My ancestors lived in Upper Silesia for many generations. My ancestral family names include: Lepiarczyk, Kania, Szymura, Jagielka, Groborz, Hennich, Szula, Nowak, Matuszek, Gruszka, Bernacisko, Mathysik, and Duda.
My Silesian ancestors lived in the proximity of Rybnik, Zabrze, Gross Rauden, Gottartowitz, Kleschczow (near Sohrau), and Jankowitz (near Pless). Today Gross Rauden is known as Rudy; Gottartowitz as Gotartowice; Sohrau, Zory; Jankowitz, Jankowice; and Pless, Pszczyna.
It will be a distinct pleasure to communicate with anyone who is related to my ancestral families. I look forward to visiting my Silesian ancestral homeland. I would like to meet "cousins" when I am in Upper Silesia.
I have become acquainted with a magnificent genealogist who lives in Upper Silesia. I recommend him most highly. Please contact me for further information.
Splendid landmarks I remember from Upper Silesia include the magnificent Saint Anthony's Basilica in Rybnik, the castles and grounds in Rudy and Pszczyna, a lovely restaurant and patio cafe in Stodoly, and a memorable night club in Rybnik. Silesian culture is fabulous!
My Lepiarczyk family ancestors lived in the proximity of Gross Rauden, Podbiala, and Stanitz (now Stanice). The church in Rudy is lovely. I am most grateful that baptismal, marriage, and death records have been as well preserved as they are in the church rectory.
Although many Upper Silesians do not speak English, it is easy to feel very welcome in Upper Silesia! My relatives in Rybnik and Rudy are precious. Seeing the home where my father grew up and the school he attended in Rybnik were very impressionable. The graves of many of my ancestors and family members are in the Rybnik Cemetery. I was particularly proud to visit the graves of my grandfather, grandmother, great-grandmother, uncle, great-uncle, and relatives in the Rybnik Cemetery.

Hello.
I am trying to trace my Grandfarthers family in Katowice. He was Paul Andrew Banert born 4th Feb 1925, Died Jul 1984 here in England, and was resettled in the UK, as part of the Polsih Ressettlement Act of 1947, follwing his release as a POW. He was son of Karl & Frances Banert (although these are obviously not Polish names, he was born a Polish national and served in the Polish army during the war), and brother to Victoria, Rose, Florian, & Joe. My Mother last had contact with Victoria (then Victoria Zielonogorska) in the late 1980, who still lived in Katowice, (2/63 40-710, Katowice 6)but she was in her eighties then, so we assume we lost contact as a result of her passing away. We also know that his Father Karl was a member of the police force in Katowice. I would appreciate any help from anybody.

4 - Katarzyna Komadowska, married Michael Gmiterk, having a called son: Jan Gmiterek.
Arrived in Brazil: Approximately in the year of 1930.
Commentaries: In my research that does not have peoples with the last name of Komadowski in Brazil, consequently because it only had
women as children, its name of the last one did not have continuation. Sending in the annex of the photos of Josef Komadowski and two of its sisters.
Little that we know of its family, the contact was lost approximately in the year of 1960.Desde then that we are in the search of possible relatives.

My compliments

Zalejski, Loranta, and Mazuro families from Czestochowa

margaret13020 — 19 Dec 2005 8:43:54 GMT

I am looking for any information on John Zalejski (1885-1966) and his wife Victoria Loranta Zalejski (1889-1967). I believe they were born from Czestochowa. John immigrated to South Bend, Indiana in 1913 and his wife and daughter Stephany/Stella (1912-1991) followed later that year. John had a brother, Martin Zalejski (1894-1989) who also immigrated to South Bend in 1921, having first lived in Paris. John and Martin's parents were Phillip Zalejski and Anastazya Mazuro Zalejski. I do not know the name of Victoria Loranta's father, but I do know her mother's name was Mary (maiden name unknown). Victoria had at least one brother and one sister, but I do not know their names. Are these names familiar to anyone?

Niemiec, Skwarek, Szulc families

Hali — 10 May 2005 8:06:10 GMT

Hello:

I'm trying to locate ancestors and descendants of Katarzyna (nee Niemiec) Szulc, born @1875-1890 in Poland, probably in what is known as the Kresy area (eastern Poland--today known as Ukraine and Belarus). Her descendants were evacuated to Dabrowa, powiat Milicz, woj. slaskie, and another village in the recovered territories, right after World War II. Katarzyna had the following children: Julcia, Marynia (married Michal Skwarek), Mila, Hela (married name Karbowska), Jasiek, and Jozek. Jasiek and Jozek had been evacuated to an unknown village in western Poland--one of them has a daughter named Lidia.

Katarzyna Niemiec Szulc had a sister, Zofia, who married Jozef Janusz. Zofia and Jozef Janusz had lived in Kolomeja and Tarnow in Poland, as well as, Pennsylvania, Michigan and California in the States.

I know that this message is a long shot, but there is always hope!

Many thanks,

Hali

CHLAD or CHLOND

gornik91 — 12 Feb 2006 1:30:33 GMT

Hello everybody
My name is CHLOND Patrick, i’m living in France. I’m looking to collect some informations about my grand parents who came from POLAND to France in years 1930.
My grand father name was CHLAD Stanislav, born 07/11/1890 in £EKA. I have’nt any information about him. I’m not sure that the polish letters can be read, so in my grand father name the third letter is a l with a bar, and the a has a cedilla, on LEKA it'sa l with a bar.
My grand mother name was Helena Nowak was born 10.02.1901 in Czestochowa (doc. no. 1901/403 - St.Zygmunt parish church in Czestochowa) as daughter of Andrzej
Nowak (30 years) and Maria Kontra (21 years). I'm not quite sure about name Kontra. Andrzej Nowak (her father) was born 14.11.1871 in Czestochowa (doc no. 1871/703 - same church) as illegitimate son of not-married Jozefa Nowak (28 years).
When they came in France they haved one daughter : Mieczylawa, born 15 février 1925 in BEDZIN (Ksawera).
When they came in France, their name was transformed from CHLAD to CHLOND, so it’s very hard to me to contact some people in POLAND, i’m not sure of the good spelling of my grand father name, however it’s the spelling CHLAD who is on my grand father’s passport.
Thank’s for your help, and i’m sorry for my spelling and grammatical mistake.
Patrick
