Hi Marty,
I feel like I keep coming across your name in posts on the Ancestry message boards. We must have a lot of ancestors in common. I have been researching the noble “szlachta” Cywinscy lineage of our ancestors. Like yours, mine are also from the Gmina Raciąż, specifically the hamlet of Gralewo. There are many Cywinscy families in Gralewo during the 1600s and 1700s. I’ve checked my notes and came across a few of your ancestors. Here is a summary…
Children of Paulin Rybicki and Marianna Cywińska of Parish Gralewo, powiat Płoński:
Salomea Wiktoria (b.1783, m.1810)
Wiktor Paulin (b.1786, m.1818)
Józef (b.1790, m.1825, d.1832)
Wiktoria Anastazja (b.1805, m.1832)
Paulin is kind of a unique name, I don’t know if I have ever seen any other examples of it in my research. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a handwriting error for Paweł. That area of Poland was going through a pretty big change during the late 1700s.
Children of Paweł Rybicki and Marianna Cywińska of Parish Gralewo, powiat Płoński:
Domicella Agnieszka (b.1793, m.1818 to Franciszek Ksawery Śliwicki)
Ludwik Jacenty (b.1797)
Domicella Cyryla (b.1800, m.1833)
Franciszka (b.1803, m.1824)
I also have a death act for Marianna Rybicka (daughter of Ludwik and Ewa Mlicka of Gralewo). She died on the 14th day of December, 1826 in Cywinie-Krajkow. She is a widow. Her son Wiktor Rybicki presented the body. She is 60+ years old when she dies. You are correct, she is residing in one of the 7 or 8 original hamlets of Cywino in the Parish of Gralewo. The history of our Cywinscy line goes all the way back to the early 1500s in Cywinie-Krajkow.
Marianna Cywińska’s father Ludwik was born in 1736. Son of Mateurz and Rozalia. Ludwik Dies in 1801. Both acts in Gralewo. I do not have a record of his marriage. He and Ewa had another daughter Magdalena born in 1767, she married Adam Chyczewski in 1786, and died in 1827.
I do not have any information on Marianna’s mother Ewa Mlicka. The Mlicka family name is not one I have come across often. I have seen other Mlicka families in the parishes of Łęg and Proboszczewice (West of Gralewo).
Let me know if you have any questions, need any records, or any thing else.
