My family originates from Jacob Tysowski who emigrated to Pittsburgh from Krakow before the first World War. Most of our family lives in Kamsack, Saskatchewan in Canada. Jacob had 5 daughters and 5 sons....
My father, Nickolas Tysowski is the second youngest and lives in Nanaimo, British Columbia.
There are other Tysowski's in and around Nanaimo who are cousins....decendents of Jacobs brother, who also came to Canada....
There are also Tysowski's in Calgary, Alberta, who come from Jacob's son Tony and Albert.
If you would like to find out more about these Canadian Tysowski's....please reply.

Hi Valerie -

I have very recently been in touch with David Tysowski in Ontario. He has told me that your family (Jacob Tysowski) ancestors were originally from the area around Tarnow, Poland, and Lwow (Lviv) in Ukraine. My gg grandfather, Jan Tyssowski (1811-1857), a major political figure in the 1846 Revolution of Krakow, and his father, Jozef Tyssowski (b. abt.. 1779) have origins in the same areas and I am very curious to learn if Jacob Tysowski is descended from the same family. (Many of our original archival records from Poland have the same spelling with one "s").

I would like to discuss this with you further and perhaps exchange info offline if you are interested. Please contact me ASAP! Thanks!

Thank you for your reply, Frank.
If you are talking to my cousin David (son of Joe Tysowski who is Jacob Tysowski's cousin), he would be a better source of genealogical information. He is active in heraldry.
If you cannot get information you need from David, email me at stewartv@macewan.ca and I will give you my parents mailing address. They have done a family search and may have information about Jacobs forebears.

Hi Valerie,
I'm wondering if you are a sister to Audrey Tysowski formerly from Viking? She was one of my bridesmaids at my wedding and I have lost touch with her and would like to renew friendships. Hoping you can help me,

Sharon (Heisler) Zimmel
