My ggf Tomas Dzima, gf Jans Dzima, were from Bednarka, Galicia (now southern Poland). I learned this from the manifest @ ellisisland.org. Upon further research I learned the surname Dziama existed in that little town as far back as late 1700s. As far as I can tell it is a Lemko/Rusyn/Ruthenian/Ukrainian type name. The towns mentioned Bardejov, Lenartov are approx. 20 miles from Bednarka.
