Przybyslaw – Gmina Dabrowa Biskupia – Slownik Geograficzny Translations

Hello,

Below is my translation of the Słownik Geograficzny Krolestwa Polskiego entry for Przybysław. Any errors in the translations are completely my own.

Location information:

Current administrative location: Przybysław, Gmina Dąbrowa Biskupia, Powiat Inowrocław, Województwo Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Poland.

Administrative location in 1895 (Słownik Geograficzny Krolestwa Polskiego): Przybyslaw, Kreis Inowroclaw, Regierungsbezirk Bromberg, Provinz Posen, Kaiserlich Deutsches Reich.

Przybysław,

1) It is a village, rural district, and folwark located in powiat Inowrocław. Przybysław is about 17 kilometers northeast from Kruszwica. It is near the border of the Kingdom of Poland. Przybysław belongs to the Chlewiska Parish. The post office is located in Dąbrowa (German Name: Louisenfelde). The railway station is located about 10 kilometers away in Inowrocław.

In 1252, Kazimierz, the Prince of Kujawy, took the area of Przybysław from the counties of Kujawy and Łęczyca and gave the ownership to the Bishops of Włocławek. Przybysław remained in the hands of the Bishops of Włocławek until the partition of the Poland-Lithuanian Republic. Then Przybysław was taken by the Prussian government and put into the county of Inowrocław. It has been mentioned in 1271, that Miloslaus Prebislaviensis could be a partial owner of Przybysław. In 1583, the settlement had 14 fiefs, 4 properties owned by the soltys or village major, and 4 crofts (enclosed sections of farmland).

The village currently has 19 houses with 226 inhabitants. The folwark has 4 houses with 66 inhabitants.

Hi Al, here is the town I have visited as well my family “locally lived for 10 years! They moved from Przybyslaw to Dąbrowa Biskupia to Starszewo. In total John Ratajski and his wife Rose nee Dydynska (nobility to 14 cenrury) had 4 children born in the stated towns. I was there in September, 2008.

However I did not know till this week we have a sibling of John who is likely Robert Philip Ratay (name evolved to Ratajski ij 1860’s)) lived (married locally)there too. The name Ratajski I am supposing still remained and (today) the name Sadowski family is my link?

This is a way to remind fellow Polish that our families leave behind members who chose not to come to America.

My family history is being recorded (only) about those that risked their lives to come to USA. My family with John a trained stone mason and his wife Rose a trained midwife made their mark in USA. This year I have found their burial site – noone could find them and nothing in my notes suggested who to find John and Rose Ratajski.

Today – my situation is to find (you may suggest ways to all of us?) How to get contacts besides using the rsearchers who are very good – that can do an “act of kindness” like we have (I have used) in USA. My immediate (an only area is Przybyslaw and Dąbrowa Biskupia. That is where I believe my relative lives and likely wants to conact me. :-))

Your thoughts are welcome… And I would like an off line replay as well. I live in Michigan.

Hi Daniel,

I’ve found that the Polish Genealogy group on Facebook are very helpful and perform Genealogical Acts of Kindness. Also, there are a number of local researchers from Poland that participate on the Facebook group website that could either help or guide you to the proper people who would be able to help. Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/50089808265/

You’ll need a Facebook account and will need to request to join. This is a great group that can answer many questions, because of the amount of knowledgeable researchers on the site.

Best Regards
Al
