Rygiel, Gnyp, Tomkiewicz Surnames

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!
