Hello Carl,
Have you been successful in your search for your grandmother Anna Zieba since your posting a few years ago?

If you search Polish Origins for Zieba, you will find several queries that include the surname Zieba.

The surname is found in my grandfather’s birthplace, Luslawice:

Welcome to the Forum Carl,

Zieba (or Ziemba) is a very common surname in Poland, especially in old Galicia region. There are about 29,000 people in Poland using this name!

(BTW our website developer is also Zieba and also lives in old Galicia ).

I am afraid that without any data regarding the possible place of origin it will be impossible to find any information about your ancestors.. Maybe in this topic http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?t=87 and especialy in the article posted by Nancy you will find a hint for your research.

Zieba
