Hi all,

Just found this forum but see that it is several years old. My great-great grandfather, Syzmon Kwak (dob 10/28/1863), stated on his US passport application that he was born in Rogoznik, Nowy Targ, Little Poland. He immigrated to the US in 1893 and took up residence in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Also, there was an affidavit on the application from his mother, Maryanna Kwak (age 90 in 1922), requesting he return home to Ludzmierz due to her failing health. He listed his father as Bartlomiej Kwak (deceased). His mother stated that her son, Ludwik Kwak, and daughter, Wiktorya Kwak (married name Czaja) still resided in Ludzmierz.

I have been unable to find any much information within Poland but have a lot since he arrived in the US.

Maybe we can connect some dots.

Hi Libby,

It appears that the records you would need are not available online. According to the attached snip from the Skorowidz the parish for Rogoźnik is Ludźmierz (earlier spelling: Ludzimierz).

Contact info for the parish can be found at this link: http://www.mbludzm.pl/parafia The contact info provides an email address.

Wishing you success,

Dave

My Great Grandmother Mary Kwak Mientus (Mintus) was born in Rogoznik and came to America in 1908. Does anyone have information on these photos? Mrozek and Tylka are names that come up in my DNA matches. Any information is appreciated since most of the information I have is after they came to America. I have ancestors in Pennsylvania and Chicago. My Grandparents were very active in Polish American League and often went to Chicago. Their last name was Ciszek.

There are at least 18 Nowobilskis in Białka Tatrzańska

One of our genealogy guides from Krakow could come to Zakopane on that day and could try to help you in your family search. Please fill in the PO Genealogy Tour request form: http://bit.ly/genealogy_tour_poland for us to know more about your family and other details and we will check what specifically we can do for you.

Oh, that would be wonderful!

I also just found out that Antonia Nowobilski was from Bialka, if that helps narrow it down some more.

I will be on a guided tour in Zakopane on October 18th with some free time built into the schedule.

Welcome to the Forum NL_Tree ,

We have checked our databases and there are at least three Panek families living currently in Rogoźnik. There are also many Nowobilski families in the Nowy Targ county.

If you wanted we could help you in getting in touch with the Paneks (and Nowobilskis) and assist you in your trip to your family places. Just let us know .

Hello,

My great grandfather on my grandmother's side is Peter Paul Panek, born March 12, 1888 in Rogoznik, Nowy Targ, Austria-Poland. He married Antonia Nowobilsky who was born in 1887 in Austria-Poland.

I will be traveling to Poland in October 2015 to Zakopane. I would love to connect with any relatives in the Rogoznik area.

Hello Robert and Shellie and Happy Easter to all!
Tylka and Panek are names in my tree. My Babcia was born in Rogoznik and baptized in Ludzmierz in 1894. I am not sure there was a church in Rogoznik at the time of her birth. There is an old wooden church and a second Roman Catholic Church as I recall, but neither was open during the day or in the evening. The cemetery in Rogoznik is small and well tended. I have some photos from the cemetery in Rogoznik. The cemetery in Ludzmierz is larger and there are some older graves. You can easily see the older graves by the type of grave marker. I have pictures from Ludzmierz as well. Have not found the priest at Ludzmierz welcoming to visitors, even though I still have family living in the area. A researcher in the area traced my Tylkas back to the 1740s. Would you like to compare notes?

Hi Georgia Happy Easter,

In 1983, I was in Poland on a construction project for a pharmaceutical plant in Tarchoman, NE of Warsaw.

I spent 6 hours at the church in Rogoznik searching for the records of my Mrozek and Kwak (maternal grandmother) relatives. We were unable to go back any further than the 1870 since there was a fire in the church ~1874 and the church records were lost.

I did get the certificates for a few of the family members and I will search my paper files for them and then I could scan and be able to share them as well as having a permanent digital record.

I did locate my Kwak family members (Cousins) in a small town Konoiwka, some 5 miles to the SW of Rogoznik and have photos of them. It started with visiting the town and then going to the church, since we came to an impasse while speaking with the Kwak family and I decided to go to the church to get info, to be sure we had the correct family. We did!

I would like to share whatever I have, but it may take a short time to locate all the paper records that I have accumulated.

I live in Norridge, Illinois and I see you are from Chicago.

Let’s continue after Easter.
