Ujma – Gmina Zakrzewo – Slownik Geograficzny Translations

Hello,

Below is my translation of the Slownik Geograficzny Krolestwa Polskiego entry for Ujma. Any mistakes are completely my own.

Location information:
Current administrative location: Ujma, Gmina Zakrzewo, Powiat Aleksandrów, Województwo Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Poland.

Administrative location in 1895 (Słownik Geograficzny Krolestwa Polskiego): Ujma, Powiat Nieszawa, Gubernia Warszawske, Vistula Land, Russian Empire.

Small (Mała) and Large (Duża) Ujma were both named Ugyma and Uyma. Both villages are located near Bachorza, in powiat Nieszawa and gmina Sędzin. Ujma Mała belongs to the parish of Kościelna Wies and Ujma Duża belongs to the parish of Siniarzewo. The villages are located at a distance of 16 verst from Nieszawa. Ujma Mała has a total of 94 inhabitants and an area of 528 morgs. Ujma Duża has 168 inhabitants and an area of 1272 morgs. In 1827, Ujma Mała had 8 homes with 68 inhabitants and Ujma Duża had 18 homes with 185 inhabitants.

“Mstivius dux Pomeraniae”, in 1288, at Repka (near Bydgoszcz), Jacób the Arch Bishop of Gnieźno, exchanged his village of Gardna (which is above the lake), for this village, “in Kujawy, above the large Bachorza River, Ujma Mała, it was declared”. In 1292, Eufrozyna, the widow of Duke Kazimierz of Kujawy, received in an inheritance from Mszczug, Duke of Pomorskie, these villages and gave them to the Gnieźno church. The tithes intended for the Gnieźno administrative office were for the salary of Janisław, the Arch Bishop of Gnieźno. In 1354, documents listed “two Ujma”, consequently Wielka Ujma passed into the possession of the Arch Bishop (Kod. Wielkp., 620, 688, 116, 1354). “The village of Ujma is ours” said Jacób the Arch Bishop of Gnieźno, dated from a publication on April 2, 1320 (Kod. dypl. pol., II, 217). In 1557, the village of “Huima Major” was in the parish of Siniarzewo, was the property of the Arch Bishop of Gnieźno, paid for 28 łan, had 3 rentals, 6 tenant farmers, and 3 craftsmen. The village of “Huima Minor” was in the Kościelna Wies Parish, paid for 12 łan, had 1 tenant farmer, and 1 craftsmen (Pawiń., Wielp., II 6, 13). Br. Ch.
