One of the earliest known Dymek ancestors of my cousins was Józef Dymek, born in about 1863 in Dymki, Kolno, Łomża . I think I have discovered the correct parish, Mały Płock, but the microfilmed records are few and far between . I don’t know if this Józef Dymek is the correct person, but the microfilmed records are so few that I may need to hire a professional researcher in Poland to confirm . I do, however, believe that Mały Płock is the correct parish because of the great number of people there with the surnames Dymek and Gołas and the fact that Piasutno (called Piasutno-Dymki in some records) is in the Mały Płock parish.

Józef Dymek Held for a Board of Special Inquiry – 1913

Posted on February 23, 2011 by Steve

When Józef Dymek, son of Józef Dymek and Bronisława Gołaś, arrived in the United States at New York on 06 October 1913, he had to appear before a Board of Special Inquiry at Ellis Island before being allowed to finish his journey to Worcester, Massachusetts.

Josef Dumek [Józef Dymek], an 18 year old male, was held for a Board of Special Inquiry
He arrived on the S.S. Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm on 06 October 1913
He was a member of group 8, no. 13 and was traveling alone
He was held because he was suspected of being LPC [likely public charge] by officer Dyckes
He was held for three days and received 3 breakfasts, 3 dinners, and 3 suppers
He was admitted at 4 PM on 09 October 1913, his case was recorded on page 73 by secretary K

Józef Dymek was held because the immigration officials were not certain that he would be able to support himself and that he would become a public charge . I assume that he was admitted after he showed that he would be staying with relatives in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Administrative Stucture of the Parishes of the Przemyśl Powiat

Posted on February 21, 2011 by Steve

I am attempting to document the events in my ancestors’ lives with place names that were accurate at the time of the event. Such an approach has several advantages over using current place names, including the fact that the historical place names help to provide a historical context for my ancestors’ lives.

The Przemyśl Powiat includes the village of Nienadowa where my Dańko ancestors lived. The Powiat was part of the Ruthenian Voivodeship (Województwo Ruskie) during the time of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but the area was included in the territory seized by the Habsburg Empire during the first partition of Poland on 05 August 1772. On 11 August 1804, the Austrian Empire was proclaimed, and on 30 March 1867 the Austro-Hungarian Compromise resulted in the formation of the Empire of Austria-Hungary. After World War I, the Second Polish Republic was established which lasted until 01 September 1939 when Germany and Russia invaded. The area of Przemyśl Powiat was incorporated into the General Government for the Occupied Polish Territories. After World War II, the People’s Republic of Poland was formed and, finally, on 30 January 1990, the Republic of Poland came into existence.

The administrative structure to which Nienadowa belonged evolved as follows:

01 Jul 1569-22 Sep 1772: Village, Przemyśl Powiat, Przemyśl Ziemia, Ruthenian Voivodeship, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
22 Sep 1772-1773: Village, Kreis Red Ruthenia, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, Habsburg Monarchy
1773-1782: Village, Bezirk Przemyśl, Kreis Sambor, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, Habsburg Monarchy
1782-11 Aug 1804: Village, Kreis Przemyśl, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, Habsburg Monarchy
11 Aug 1804-Mar 1854: Village, Kreis Przemyśl, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, Austrian Empire
Apr 1854-28 Mar 1867: Village, Bezirk Przemyśl, Kreis Przemyśl, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, Austrian Empire
30 Mar 1867-10 Nov 1918: Village, Bezirk Przemyśl, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, Austria-Hungary
11 Nov 1918-31 Mar 1938: Village, Przemyśl Powiat, Lwów Voivodeship, Second Polish Republic
12 Oct 1939-27 Jun 1945: Village, Przemyśl Secondary District, Kraków District, General Government, Nazi Germany
28 Jun 1945-21 Jul 1952: Village, Przemyśl Powiat, Rzeszów Voivodeship, Republic of Poland
22 Jul 1952-31 May 1975: Village, Przemyśl Powiat, Rzeszów Voivodeship, Polish People’s Republic
01 Jun 1975-30 Dec 1989: Village, Przemyśl Voivodeship, Polish People’s Republic
31 Dec 1989-30 Dec 1998: Village, Przemyśl Voivodeship, Third Polish Republic
31 Dec 1998-Present: Village, Przemyśl Powiat, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Third Polish Republic

The administrative structure to which Dubiecko belonged evolved as follows:

01 Jul 1569-22 Sep 1772: Village, Przemyśl Powiat, Przemyśl Ziemia, Ruthenian Voivodeship, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
22 Sep 1772-1773: Village, Kreis Red Ruthenia, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, Habsburg Monarchy
1773-1782: Village, Bezirk Dubiecko, Kreis Sambor, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, Habsburg Monarchy
1782-11 Aug 1804: Village, Kreis Sanok, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, Habsburg Monarchy
11 Aug 1804-Mar 1854: Village, Kreis Sanok, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, Austrian Empire
Apr 1854-28 Mar 1867: Village, Bezirk Dubiecko, Kreis Sanok, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, Austrian Empire
30 Mar 1867-10 Nov 1918: Village, Bezirk Przemyśl, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, Austria-Hungary
11 Nov 1918-31 Mar 1938: Village, Przemyśl Powiat, Lwów Voivodeship, Second Polish Republic
12 Oct 1939-27 Jun 1945: Village, Przemyśl Secondary District, Kraków District, General Government, Nazi Germany
28 Jun 1945-21 Jul 1952: Village, Przemyśl Powiat, Rzeszów Voivodeship, Republic of Poland
22 Jul 1952-31 May 1975: Village, Przemyśl Powiat, Rzeszów Voivodeship, Polish People’s Republic
01 Jun 1975-30 Dec 1989: Village, Przemyśl Voivodeship, Polish People’s Republic
31 Dec 1989-30 Dec 1998: Village, Przemyśl Voivodeship, Third Polish Republic
31 Dec 1998-Present: Village, Przemyśl Powiat, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Third Polish Republic

The term Kreis means Circle, Bezirk means District, Powiat is often translated as County, and the term Voivodeship (Województwo) is frequently rendered as Province. I prefer the terms Kreis, Bezirk, Powiat, and Voivodeship.
