For those of you researching Kashubian/Polish ancestors, especially those that settled in Winona, Minnesota, my page should be helpful to you. My ancestors were all Polish. Most of them were Kashubian. The names I am researching from Kashubia are: PALUBICKI, MELING, MAJKOWSKI, ORLIKOWSKI, SADOWSKY, LITERSKI, MONDRY, MADRA, PIECHOWSKI, MEGIER, WIERKUS, WIERZBA, DEMBROWSKY, to name but a few! My mothers grandparents were from Lekno, just northeast of Poznan and their surnames were RYMARKIEWICZ and BARTKOWIAK. My database is a work in progress and I will continue to add more data as it becomes available to me. Most of this information was gleaned from LDS microfilms, vital records in the United States, newspaper articles and obituaries. Some of it is taken on "faith" from other researchers so all of it should be suspect to a serious researcher. It is important for accuracy that you verify any data you find here that pertains to your research by going to the LDS microfilms or other sources to double check the accuracy of my work. I am sure that despite my intentions to record everything correctly, mistakes were made. The LDS microfilms I used were: 0500540,0162330, 0500542, 0500541, 0162333, 0162332, 0162331, 1618612, 1194753 and 0475067 all dealing with Birth/Death/Marriage records for Borszykowy parish, Poland (villages included: Kosabude, Smaldzin, Borowy Mlyn, Pradzona, Borzyskowo, Lakie, Glisno, Lipniece, Karpno, Stoltmann, Rutzenwalde, Mielno, Woyski, Osusznica, Lubon, Ostrowitz, Ossowo, Modziel, Liepnitz, Kiedrau, Kiedrowice, Hamer, Zapcen) as well as the following which covered Birth/Death/Marriages for Lipusz parish, Poland; (villages included: Mechau, Ploczyc, Lippusch, Pod. Niedamowa, Tuschkau, Papiermuhle, Kalisz, Mechowo-Lip., Squirawen, Gostomken, Grzybau, Bimachej, Sluza) 0163522, 1417785, 1417786, 0161891, 0529600, 0529601, 1618607. Most of the Palubicki surnames were found on these films: 1201420 and 1634015. The locations of these films cover mainly Polschen a/k/a Kniprode-Polschen or Polczen, Pommern, Germany, now Polczno (Bytow), Koszalin, Poland, also the following; Mangwitz, Czarndamerow, Jukowin, Klein Polczen, Lippusch, and Oslawdamerow. Recent additions for Rymarkiewicz and Bartkowiak were received from a researcher I hired in Poland. She took the information from: Pila Archives, and Gniezno, as well as the civil registry offices in Lekno. Some of the place names she found in her searches are; Golancz, Sienno, Wagrowiec, Morkonos, Miescisko, Chojna, Zerniki, Izdebno and Srebmagora. NOTE: There are variations in spelling of surnames and place names! Feel free to download this material but give me credit for compiling it and please do not publish it without my permission! You can begin your search further down the page under "Polish Surname Database". Surnames are listed in alphabetical order. If you're interested, take a look at map of Lipusz, Poland and the surrounding area. This map contains the names of many of the small villages in Lipusz parish and may be helpful. Take a look at
the last home in Poland of the Patriarch of the American Palubicki family, Michael and his wife Josephine (Meling), in 1869. This photgraph was taken in 1996. The house was demolished to make way for new construction in 1997.
