Hello Rosanne,
Some years back I started putting together a list of emigrants from the village Podczerwone to the US who arrived at the Port of New York. When I saw your and lmajka's posts, I completed the list and posted it under the forum topic on emigration that I'm hosting:

There's an entry for a 18 ys old Anna Dluga from Podczerwone who arrived in 1905 (your paternal grandmother?).

Hi Shellie, great material!! As discussed my maternal grandmother was born in Podczerwone in 1890. Her name was Agnes Leja. Her father was Jakub Leja. I believe they may have even used a hyphen name such as "Leja-Koruniarz" .

I have herad my mother mention her Cousin Stella Duda had a maiden name of Bryja. Anyone with Leja background or from the village I'd be interested in any info you have.

Since you are mentioning the name Bryja in your post: I'm researching Bryjak from Dlugopole and nearby villages and just recently saw a report concerning Stanislaw Bryjak from Podczerwone getting killed in an accident at work. It says he grew up on a small farm in Podczerwone, Poland, near the city Zakopane. His wife was Maria Gacek.

Hi Rosanne! Wow I love how posting these village threads brings people together!!!! Although I don't have a direct connection of Podczerwone (that I know of yet LOL) I am glad to see that new people are finding this spot and are posting information. Rosanne, may I ask if you know...is Dluga definitely your grandmother's name or do you know if it was shortened from something like Duglapolska? Welcome new friend to this group where I am sure you will make even more new friends!!

If you or your ancestors are from Podczerwone, please leave a comment on this thread. It would be great if someone had some photos to share also.

Podczerwone is a village in southwestern Poland, near Nowy Targ. The village is very close to the Slovakia border.

The name Podczerwone translates into the English word Infared.

From Wikipedia: ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podczerwone
Podczerwone [pɔtt͡ʂɛrˈvɔnɛ] is a village in the administrative district ofGmina Czarny Dunajec, within Nowy Targ County, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in southern Poland, close to the border with Slovakia. It lies approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) southwest of Nowy Targ and 74 km (46 mi) south of the regional capital Kraków.

The village of Podczerwone was founded by Szymon Czerwinski under the Royal Decree of Sigismund III Vasa in 1604 giving the property privileges in Western Tatra Mountains and Czarny Dunajec river valley. The privileges included the Dolina Lejowa, Polana Bialy Potok, Hawrylówka, Roztoki, Polynica, the forests of Furtaska, Kryta and Krzyskówka. During Poland's Partition Period (123 years) the region remained under Austrian jurisdiction and the town and its privileges were sold in Vienna to land investors.

Presently the village counts about 640 residences. A significant number of them emigrated to the USA and Canada. They became strong contributing members of new North American communities and also active members of the Polish Highlanders Alliance of North America (Związek Podhalan w Ameryce Północnej) in Chicago and Toronto.
