I am looking for information on my great-grandfather's family and any existing family still in Poland. My great-grandfather was Stanislaw J. Rychtarczyk, born in 1894, the son of Michal Rychtarczyk and Theresa Chrobak. He came to the US in 1912 at the age of 18, possibly traveling with Josephus Chrobak, also 18 at the time.

Szukam informacji o rodzinie mojego pradziadka i wszelkie istniejące rodziny jeszcze w Polsce. Mój pradziadek był Stanisław J. Rychtarczyk, urodził się w 1894 roku, syn Michał Rychtarczyk i Theresa Chrobak. Przybył do USA w 1912 roku w wieku lat 18, ewentualnie podróży z Józef Chrobak, również 18 w tym czasie.

Darendziak~ Someone asked about this area last month. You can see my response to that posting here http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?t=2807&highlight=Gronk%C3%B3w

At the top of any PO page you can click on the Search button (after FAQ) and put in your town to see what else comes up about that area.

Have you looked at the Moikrewni site to see where that name is currently found? http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/rychtarczyk.html There are 155 people with that name in Nowy Targ county and another 73 in Zakopane county, out of 252 people in Poland with the name.

The name Looks like a slavic adaptation of the name "Richter", which means judge, of course. This would only be useful to you in reaching back to very much earlier dates, of course.
