Hi, I have been reading these posts, and I think my family is somehow connected to many of you.
My grandfather was Joseph Kubik, from Gnojnica, Poland. His father was Andrzej Kubik and mother, Marya Mendygral.
I know other surnames connected with his family are Darlak, Pilch , Rog, Maciolek and Ochal.
I know he had brances of the family that went to Detroit, Mich. and Niagara Falls, NY.
I would love to hear from any of you who think you may be connected.
Also, his first wife was Mary Pryzwara, whom he married in Holyoke Ma. She died after one year, then he married my grandmother, Apolonia Piekos, they had 3 children in Holyoke then moved to Pa. Mary was also from Gnojnica.

The last message was from me, Suzanne. Gary is my husband, who puchased the membership for me.

Hello, I just read your post and may be able to help you. I see that Gnojnica is in the same region as my family roots. Literally 5 miles west of the Nockowa Parish region. I have acessed the records from Nockowa Parish for the years 1791-1871 and can tell you that I recognize most of these surnames; specifically Darlak, Rog, Maciolek, Medrygal, and Ochal. Nockowa Parish was responsible for the towns of Nockowa, Iwierzyce, Olimpow, Wiercany, Wisniowa, and Bystrzyca. I have these in my family tree also and can tell you that all of these names, and records, can be found in these towns, all of which are near to each other.

Thank you so much for your response. Yes, I am interested to hear what you have. Please email me at Engrvrgal@aol.com.
I will be looking foward to hearing from you.

My great-grandparents were from Gnojnica; their last name was Rojek.

I have relatives named Darlak, Rog, and Ohol/Ochal. We have ties to Niagara Falls, NY and a slight connection to Holyoke, MA (I think) via Agata Kolbusz (maiden name), possibly married to a "Sabastian Ciokosz" and had a son named "Carrol".

My great-great grandmother's sister (Victoria Rojek) married Joseph Ohol. I think he was the son of Peter/Piotr Ohol and Mary Kubik/Kubick. I am related to the Ohols near Niagara Falls, NY.

My grandfather's godmother (also his aunt?) was Regina (Casimiri) Ochab. Her cousin was Joseph Darlak, who lived somewhere near Pittsburgh.

My grandfather's sister, Julia Rymut, married Michael Rog in the early 1900's and I think moved back to Poland.

I also replied in another thread about 'three Ochal brothers' here:
