Answering to searching information about Mathew Zychowski send 18 Dec. 1999 by Leigh Bendel on this same Ancestry.com page I was obligate to find some information about Maciej Zychowski brother of my Grand Father Grzegorz Zychowski.
Maciej Zychowski was born February 23, 1892 in Dulabka Poland. He was the son of Franciszek Zychowski and Jozefa Zychowska – family name Lysiak.
His father Franciszek Zychowski parents were Pawel Zychowski and Zofia Zychowska.
Mother of Maciej Zychowski – Jozefa Lysiak was daughter Piotr Lysiak and Maria Lysiak family name Slusarczyk.
My Grand Father Grzegorz Zychowski born 14 Nov 1902 in Dulabka near Jaslo and died 18 days after Maciej 28 Oct 1972.
He had two brothers – Maciej and Wojciech. Maciej and Wojciech went to US in about 1910.
After few Years Wojciech come back to his wife Katarzyna (Katarina) to Dulabka in Poland and after infection he died.
Than, my grandfather Grzegorz married Katarzyna.
Wojciech had with my grandma daughter Czeslawa (b.1920), son Walerian (b. 1923) and son Benedykt (b. 1925).
My grandmother Katarzyna with my grandfather Grzegorz had son Stanislaw (B.1927), my father Mieczyslaw (b.1931) and two daughters name Maria. First Maria died in age 5, second Maria still leaving in Katowice Poland.
Probably Maciej Zychowski went to Ohio and in 1930 he lived in Cleveland City, Cayahoga County, Ohio (Ward 7, Block 68) with wife Anna Zychowski h/o Kaminski born 25 Jul 1894, died 21 Jun 1970 and with childrens:
Stella Zychowski, Daughter, born about 1917
Frank Zychowski, Son, born about 1918
Florence Zychowski, Daughter, born about 1920
Lottie Zychowski, Daughter, born about 1922
Edward Zychowski, Son, born about 1924
Joseph Zychowski, Son, born about 1929
Maciej Zychowski died 10 Oct 1972 (according to Calvary Cemetery Cleveland records).
That all I know and I hope that this information helps somebody to find roods.
Please remember that Maciej Zychowski and most of people which looking their roods on this page are not Zychowski with normal Z in the beginning, but Zychowski with special polish Z with dot above Z which we in Poland spell different.
This special Z with dot above we call in Poland „ Z with dotâ€
Why I think, that most people which looking roods from US and Canada are Zychowski with Z with dot.
Because in 1998 in Poland it was 763 persons name Zychowski with Z with dot. Biggest population in Poland is near Krosno (Jaslo, Cieklin) – 136 and near Krakow 118. For example in Warsaw where I live there is only 26 person and near Ciechanow which is important to the oldest information about Zychowski with Z with dot live only 20 people.
In history of Poland we can find information that biggest emigration from Poland to US about 1900 was from very poor territory near mountains – it means Krosno and Krakow.
All that You can find using page
http://www.herby.com.pl/herby/indexslo.html and using Polish Programmer Keyboard pressing Z with ALT to be Z with dot.
In the same page when You looking information about Zychowski with normal Z You can find that in 1998 in Poland lived 136 persons name Zychowski and most of then – 29 near Radom. Rodom is near Kielce and near Zych, so if Your roods are from Radom or Kielce You are Zychowski with normal Z.
What does Zychowski wth Z with dot name mean?
The oldest information about Zychowski with Z with dot are about family Zychowski with Z with dot used coat of arms TEPA PODKOWA, lived in Zychowo Biskupie with Z with dot, Parish Raciaz near Ciechanow.
Today population near Ciechanow is only 20 people, near Krosno 136. Why Zychowski with Z with dot moved near Krosno I don’t know.
TEPA PODKOWA means BLUNT HORSESHOE which coat of arms You can see on Page
