Rygiel, Gnyp, Tomkiewicz Surnames



Guest  Mar 15, 06, 17:06    #1
Am looking for the origination of some of my ancestors. I have tracked them to the mid-1850s in Hlibow, Grzymalow, Galicia. However, I am looking to find where they came from before that.

Possibility from the Sanok area. They were Roman Catholic when in Hlibow.

Anyone have any info?

Thanks.

hello, my name is Ludwika Gnyp,
i live in Poland, in Poznan,
but I come from Piotrkow trybunalski.

there is a history
running in my family
concernnig our surname
in Poland it is very rare

when there was a war between swedish and polish people,
one of the soldiers from the horth- with surname gnyp
got sick
and the others left him in one of the villages near czestochowa
they promised to come back and take him home
but they never did
so he stayed there and married a polish woman

this village is called Gorzedow
it is very close to the place where i come from
i visited a local priest
and saw all those old books
with deaths, marriages, births, etc
i managed to trace back my roots to 1779,
and a man called Roch Gnyp

now i`m going to orded some microfilms form the mormons
to go even earlier
i`m veery excited about it

if you like we can exchange our family trees,
my address is Ludwikagnyp@gmail.com

please drop me a line!

Mary,

I am writing regarding the name Anna Tomkiewicz. Stan Kilar / Kelar wrote to me and Anna is his great-grandmother. He is from Toronto, Canada. My data indicates that Anna was born in Posada Gorne. This is in the area of Sanok. Anna was married to a Jacob Kilar and had 8 children

If you think that Stan's g-grandmother, Tomkiewicz, or her siblings may be connected to the Tomkiewicz that you are searching for I would be very happy to contact him and you could arrange to write to him.

I look forward to hearing from you.


Irene,

Stephen:
Do you know where your grandfather was from? What area? My great-grandmother was Julianna Rygiel. She was born around 1850. I have her parent's names but do not have their birthdates or places where they lived before the date Julianna was born. It was in a village called Hlibow, in eastern Galicia. They were Austrians by nationality, Polish by ethnicity and Roman Catholic.

If any of the above might fit in with your people, I can give you dates and places and you can give me what you know.

Mary
