Thanks for your efforts! I have not been able to find anything except for the ship manifest which shows him coming to Canada from Cieszanow in 1913. I have found quite a few people with the surname in mostly southern Poland and even a roofing supply business called Labisz Dacher. I was told that he left family behind when he came to Canada and would love to connect with any remaining relatives in the country. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks very much for the reply! I have put into Google translate and it came out: Labisz - from laba idle, rest '; some forms from the Elbe 'from the Old Polish Elbe, Swans', the insult; also about a big dog ', with German graphic adaptation.
Very interesting, thanks again for your response!

You are welcome.
I have made a search between 1888 and 1895 and could not find him.

I'm looking for information on the surname Labisz. My great grandfather Piotr Labisz came to Saskatchewan, Canada in 1913 from Cieszanow, then a part of Galicia. Does anyone know anything about the origin of the surname? I see that there is a city called Labiszyn in Poland but do not know anything about the name itself. My dad has told me that Piotr spoke Polish and Ukrainian and was a Catholic. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
