Hi! Is here anybody who knows something about the SYKALA family? This family came from the town of Pruchnik or nearby village Chorzow and was greek catholic. Somehow am I unable to find out more than that PIOTR SYKALA was born in Pruchnik/Chorzow in 1861 and married ANNA MAZUR (born 1866, roman catholic)... I appreciate any help!

SYKAŁA: from syk (hiss, wheezing sound) - possibly a nick given to someone who spoke in a hissing manner, typcial of people with side tooth gaps that force air and saliva out when speaking: so Janko Sykała might have been Johnny the Hisser. This probably has nothing to do with your 19th-century relatives, as nicknames-turned-surnames usually go back many centuries.

yes, I know I could try that, but I do not know exact year of birth. Piotr was also a greek catholic, which makes my research much more difficult, as there is not such a parish in Pruchnik, now...
