Sykala family from Pruchnik

Hi!
Is here anybody who knows something about the SYKALA family? This family came from the town of Pruchnik or nearby village Chorzow and was greek catholic.

Somehow am I unable to find out more than that PIOTR SYKALA was born in Pruchnik/Chorzow in 1861 and married ANNA MAZUR (born 1866, roman catholic)...

I appreciate any help!

SYKA£A: from syk (hiss, wheezing sound) - possibly a nick given to someone who spoke in a hissing manner, typcial of people with side tooth gaps that force air and saliva out when speaking: so Janko Sykała might have been Johnny the Hisser. This probably has nothing to do with your 19th-century relatives, as nicknames-turned-surnames usually go back many centuries.

If you have the exact date you could try looking through the church register in the area.

yes, I know I could try that, but I do not know exact year of birth. Piotr was also a greek catholic, which makes my research much more difficult, as there is not such a parish in Pruchnik, now...

You shoul check moikrewni.pl
I found 4 Sykala's there.

hi, i have some information of the Sykala family from Chorzów.

Petar or Piotr on our tree was born around that date.
