Szewczyk, Toczko, Kurzydlo family from Wara POLAND

Brzozów is a small town that peoples from Villages like Wara woved to. It is a small town witch huge church in the middle and heart of the town

I found it on the map and it is close to Wara. I wrote my letters, mailed them out, now I have to wait to hear. I hope I do hear something. I mailed to the church and to the 2 people. Can I keep in touch with you to find out how you are and how you are doing? I feel like I found a new friend.

Hello, My gradparents were born in Nodrzec Poland. His name was Walenty, he had a brother named Michael, and one named Jon. There were several other brothers. I have his baptism record from Nozdrzec. Do the names Baran and Gierula have any meaning to you. When he came to the US he was traveling with them and they were listed as cousins and friends. I have pictures of the church in Nozdrzec and a few of the cemetary. We spelled our name Toczek, but I have seen it spelled a number of ways. Do you think there is a connection?

forgot to mention, there are still Toczek families in Nozdrzec

Those names do not have any meaning, but that really doesn't mean there is no connection. My great grandfathers name was Jan or Jon Toczek. He was married to a Maria or Maria Szewczyk. There is my grandmother Sophia, her sister Carolina, and 2 sons Michal and Nicolas. Do those name mean any thing to you? Carolina married a man named Kurdzylo, they had a daughter Janina. I have written letters to some there, I wrote to an Alina and Kazmierz Toczek in Nozdrzec. Is there a Greek Catholic church there? My grandma was baptised in a greek catholic church. Her baptism papers are written in Latin so I am getting bits and pieces off of it in my search.

On my grandmothers baptism papers it has parochia Htudno, does anyone know if this is a town or what it may be?

On my grandmothers baptism papers this is what is written
Deanery Dynow, Diocese Przemysl, District Brzozow, Parochia Hludno. and she was baptised Greek Catholic, 4 August 1897. If anyone knows where this church is I would appreciate any information. I truly appreciate all the help I have gotten from here, it has helped me in my search.

I think I found your ancestral village of Hludno on a map site. Ironically, it's the next village southwest to my familial village of Lubno.

On the baptism papers it also has Wara as her home (domus) in latin. All the other information was listed at the top of the baptism papers. This is all written in Latin so I am having quite a bit of trouble . Between the polish and the latin I am going in circles. I am ashamed of myself for not learning more from my grandmother. But when your a kid somethings don't seem as important (you take them for granted) as they do later in life.

sorry, the name was Jan. I do not recognize the other names on your list. My grandfather's parents names were Wojciech and Marianna. The church in Nozdrzec which I got the information from is Roman Catholic.

Does anyone know if the following is a name of a store and an address. Is there any way to look up this store if its still there?

Spoldzielnia Rzemiesinicza
Drzewiarz
Krakow, al. Tatarska 3
tel 22-74-40


The item I have is quite old, and all of the letters may not be correct. Any help would be appreciated

I am not sure what it is. I wish I could help you but I amhaving my own difficulties translating some old family letters myself. Good luck

Thanks anyway

I believe Htudno is the town next to Nozdrzec. Also I have a Polish language translator on my computer, it has helped me translating a lot of e-mail, some documents, and sending also. I also have an article pertaining to church documents with common words found on them. If I can help I would be glad to.
