Searching for information on Ryl &Gornicz surnames

Hello My name is Brian Ryl and Iam trying to find information regarding my ancesters.My fathers name was Franciszek Ryl born 23.08.1919at Unikow.My mothers maiden name was Rozalia Gornicz born 16.0701920 at Slupia. If any body has any information or any possible web sites where I can source this information from, I would be very gratefull.

Brian,

There are two Uników's in Poland, plus two others that have other names associated with it. Each is in a different district. But all in southern Poland.

There are 25 Słupia's. Do you suspect your parent's would have lived close to each other? If it was earlier prior to 1900's I'd say they would have to be.

You can start on Ancestry.com, but the records you have are potentially not old enough. You may have to contact the local district administrator. Always good to see if the town or district has a webpage.

On Moikrewni.pl/mapa this information is available for 2002 census two forms of the name may exist Ryl and Rył. I looked up both. The information just provides and indication on how common the name is in Poland today and where "potential" living relatives may be concetrated. Not all Ryl's may be related. go to the site. I use this website to get the Polish letters I need.

Thanks for your information. I will try the website you suggested. The Ryl side seems to come down from a Szczepan Ryl and Maria Hudzia in the late 1800s. The Gornicz side seems to come down from Antoni Gornicz and Maria Pawlowski in the late 1800s.
