Translated from the Polish, the entry reads:<\/p>\n Dyl\u0105gowa (with Wola), a village, Brzoz\u00f3w powiat [district], about 25 km to the northeast of Brzoz\u00f3w, and 9 km to the southeast of the post office in Dyn\u00f3w .\u00a0 A Roman Catholic parish is in the place, a Greek Catholic parish is in Paw\u0142okowma .\u00a0 There are 148 houses and 1000 inhabitants;\u00c2\u00a0 the larger property includes 154 m\u00f3rgs [in Galicia, 1 m\u00f3rg was about 1.422 acres] of soil under cultivation, 68 m\u00f3rgs of pastures and gardens, 437 m\u00f3rgs of pastures, and 103 m\u00f3rgs of forest .\u00a0 A full-time, one classroom school is in the village .\u00a0 The first construction rights for the foundation of a church were lost .\u00a0 It seems that the church here together with the church in Dubiecko was changed to the heretical Protestant church by Stanis\u0142aw Stadnicki .\u00a0 His son, Marcin Stadnicki, castellan (governor of the castle) of Sanok (1625), certified the endowment of the church, already restored to the Catholics, with a new charter .\u00a0 The wooden church, built in 1706 under the name of Saint Sofia, was consecrated in 1711 .\u00a0 There are 875 Catholic residents .\u00a0 14 villages belong to the parish:\u00a0 Borownica, D\u0105br\u00f3wka, Gdyczyna, Huty, Jasion\u00f3w, Jawornik ruski, Paw\u0142okowa, Por\u0119by, Prac\u00f3wka, Siedliska, Sielnica, Wola, Wo\u0142od\u017a, \u017bochatyn;\u00c2\u00a0 there is one school .\u00a0 Altogether, there are 2537 Catholics and 113 Jews in the parish.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I have been told that the historical records of Baptisms, Marriages, and Births are no longer located at the church. The Diocesan Archives holds a copy, but researchers are not allowed to view them because the books are in poor condition.<\/p>\n The maps of the Third Military Mapping Survey of Austria-Hungary<\/a> and the entries in the S\u0142ownik Geograficzny<\/a> were prepared at about the same time and make a good pair for studying places in and around the Congress Kingdom of Poland at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, a time period when the Eastern European ancestors of present-day Americans left their homelands for the United States.<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2008 by Stephen J.
