All the Rzasa members I've heard of have been from an area once known as Galicia. (Austrian occupied Poland) Visited in Sept. and found phone book listings in Rzeszow and in Kolubusowa...where I also located a number of Rzasa gravestones in the cemetary. My Polish pen pal is writing to the diocese (in Polish) to try to find my g.father's birth records and that would give me parents' names which I do not have. My g.father supposedly left several brothers in Poland..some may have left later (?) Thank you for writing. I'll be trying to piece all of this together. Please write again if you have more info or questions.

My Rzasa family also lived in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. My Great-grandmother was Maryanna Rzasa and she had a brother Wladyslaw Rzasa.

They came from Laka, Poland. The name Rzasa is pronounced Zonsa in Polish.

My pronounciation is the same. My grandmother was Mary or Maryanne (?) I don't know about any of her family or where she was from. She married Martin and he was from Kolubusowa, I believe. I visited Poland and found gravestones w/ the name in that town and in phone book in Rzeszow. Nowhere else in country did they know the name. You can write to me directly at Pawtuxet@ids.net if you think there is a connection.

Charles,

The pronounciation is the same. You said that Maryanna was your great-grandmother. My grand-mother's married name was Rzasa. Her husband was Andrew Rzasa and they lived in Johnstown, PA and went to St. Casimir's. Andrew had a sister named Mary, 2 brothers, Sebastian and John. My aunt wasn't sure if there was another brother. Do you know your Great-grandmothers parents names? Is your mother or father a Rzasa and what is there names? My grandmother had some children that I never met or new about until after she died. Maybe we can connect the dots.

Carol and others,

My great- grandmother was Maryanna (Marcella) Rzasa. Her brother was Wladyslaw (Walter) Rzasa. The both arrived in Johnstown around 1906. There father was either George or Adelbert Rzasa. I have several name varients for him. Their mother was Rozalia Sliez (sp).

This family came from the town of Laka, near Rzeszow and Lukawiec. Its my understanding the records are in Laka, but the town minister doesn't give out information.

As for more brothers and sister I don't doubt it one bit. I would say all the Rzasa's in Johnstown probably have a common origin. I'm sure a search of St. Casimir's records and records at Ebensburg would clear this up.

If you wish to contact me do so.
