Genealogy / Anyone from near Gniezno? Or the Small villages and towns nearby? [3]

This is off the track, but there is a township in Minnesota,USA that is called Gneson, named after the large number of people from Gneizno who immigrated there.

Food / Bread ball soup? I know it sounds strange... [13]

Thank you so much for the recipe. It is something I am really looking forward to trying. My friend, who first told me about it, says that it is one of his favorite dishes.

I think it "bread ball" and not "bread bowl". I seem to remember that it might be called something like Bobalky (??) but I am not sure.

I know that this is not the correct name. I am trying to find out what it is really called so that I can look up recipes for it.

Genealogy / Wlasna / Cegla a rare name? [5]

Thank you very much for this information. I know that the Wlasna/Wlasny family that I am seeking information on probably came from the Poznań area. Now I know why I have been struggling to find out more about this name!

Am I correct in assuming that Wlasna and Wlasny would be used interchangeably, depending upon whether in a masculine or feminine form or would these be two entirely different names?

Genealogy / Wlasna / Cegla a rare name? [5]

Yes, it is.

I know that it does not seem like a real name, but that is the name that five sisters used as their maiden name when they emigrated to the USA in the early 1900s.

I am curious about the name, and also what the word would mean.

Food / Bread ball soup? I know it sounds strange... [13]

A while back, a friend gave me a recipe that he calls "Bread Ball Soup" that he thinks is Polish. He says it is delicious and I would like to try it. I am wondering, though, what the real name is for the recipe so that I can check for variations. Has anyone heard of this? Thanks!

Genealogy / Wlasna / Cegla a rare name? [5]

Wlasna Własna Wlasny Własny

Before I can even begin to do much research on this family, I would like to find out if this is a regular family name in Poland or if it is an abbreviated version of another name or is a reference to another name entirely.

Is this a very rare name in Poland? I can't seem to find much information on the name at all.

Btw.

Cegla Cegła

I am looking for people of this family name from the Poznan area, specifically around Pogrzybow, Raszków.

Paul/Pawel Cegla born at 1860 in a place possibly roughly spelled Irjiazewo. His father's name might be Gregor.

Paul married in 1887 to Rosalia Wlasna born 1866 in or near Pogrzybow. Rosalia's father's name might be Kristofer Wlasny.

Paul and Rosalia Cegla had one child born in Poland: Stanislaus born 1888. Other children were born in Pine County, Minnesota, USA, after they emigrated in about 1890.

I hoping to connect with members of this family.
