Unfortunately,your Pianka appears to be from a different part of Poland than mine. Any other information you may run across would be appreciated. Thanks anyway

My grandfather was Teofil Zielinski I know very little about him. He had three children with my grandmother and
abandoned them around 1920. He lived in Brooklyn Ny for
most of his time in the USA. He was born in Warsaw Poland.My grandmother was Stella Slovenska.

Surnames: Pianka
I plan to be in Zbojna sometime this summer. My Pianka family comes from Dobrylas. It seems that the Pianka name is concentrated in the Green Kurpie area. Many from Osowice, Pianki, and Lomza. I have researched the name through the Polish Language Institute in Krakow. Aside from it's current meaning of foam, in the old Polish language it meant greenfinch, a marsh bird. Pienka meant a goldfinch. The first mention of our name was in 1494.

There are several Piankas in the Family Tree DNA data base. Ours is R1a which covers about 40% of Poles. The others in the data base are not related to us.

Surnames: Pianka
My great grandmother was Mariana Pianka nee Lampiska, born in 1858 in Gwala (I don't know where that is but since we are Kurpie it may be there). Her parents were Pawel and Franciszka nee Pokornicka. She died in 1936 in Dobrylas. My grandfather Alex Pianka may have lived in Syracuse between 1909 and 1913, with his future brother in law Alex Zalewski.
