Gmina Stężyca
Hello,
My Jach ancestors (Andrzej Jach and Jozefina Szytemberg and family) came from Gmina Stezyca (Powiat Kartusy), which is located in the southern Kaszubia region. The Jach family arrived in America between the years 1865-1867 and then settled in Sharon, Portage County, Wisconsin.
Below is a map of Powiat Kartusy:
