There were Miszuks living in Jankowicze up to WW2 before they were packed up to Germany for forced labour. (see straty.pl). The only Anna Miszuk I know of came to Australia with her son and daughter and grandchildren in the 1950s - i think. Her DOB is 8 Dec 1883. Her son is 79 and is living in Melbourne. But as KS posted - there is quite a bit of family.

Nautika - I've been going to those Dziupla functions for many years and they are great fun if you like dancing (and a bit of a drink too). I am def going to the Ball at Albion on the 28th. Albion is near Sunshine on the ring road - really easy to get to. If you want to go and would like a table to sit at, let me know cos i have a few spots left. To read more about it go dziuplamelbourne.com go to gadu gadu (forum) and you'll find info under Imprezy - english and polish.

So KS i take it you're not going? Piker!! Why don't you just drive or get ur sheila to drive?

Polish Festival Melbourne

It was a scorcher of a day in Melbourne for the Polish Festival on Sunday. Plenty of polish beer, pączki, pierogi etc.. and of course, polish people..... Lots of folk songs and dancing on the main stage and plenty of stuff to buy.. books, cds, dvds, hats, footballs, xmas decos etc.. Catching up with everyone was the best bit!

Dear Chris, it is a shame you'll miss the festival...i'll let you know how it went. on the dziupla site in case you couldnt read it on December 1st there is a charity ball to raise funds for a sick child in poland. It might be a good chance to meet some polish folk... its in gardenvale, a suburb very close to the city - between st kilda and brighton. Here are the details....

Hi Chris, come to melbourne on the 18th for the polish festival at federation square - heaps of people and lots of beer and entertainment. The following saturday the 17th there is a huge ball at the polsih club at albion which is run by dziupla - go to their website to see what other events are coming up. Let us know if you come and what you think!

Yes. this is true. Looking at when poles emigrated it seems like Australia was very popular in the 1950s and 60s when the 'flood gates' were opened to Europeans to help increase the Oz population.

Hi Sisterowl - I know of some Adamcewicz's in Adelaide, South Australia - in a suburb called Mansfield. There was also a Franek Adamcewicz living in NewPort, Melbourne ( has since passed) who was somehow related to those in Adelaide. Do you know of them? I dare say they also came froma round the Naliboki region.

Maybe I was wrong??? for I am not Diana!!!!!

Life / What is going on in Polish Music [128]

I found a great site to listen to polish music live - its radioWAWA. Only a set amount of people can log into it at one time - click on 'sluchaj' when the page comes up to listen. They play older and new stuff too.

You are a busy beaver! I'm wrapt with info I learnt from you... so thanks! I'll be getting in touch soon with relatives on my father's side by email in Brzesko so I hope to pump them for more info - they may know more of the story.

Australia / Polish Culture in Melbourne, Australia [87]

I know of 2 sites to go to for that sort of info:
dziuplamelbourne.com
melbourne.pl

The Dziupla organisation does discos in North Melbourne every 2 months and a Ball in November at Albion. The next disco is on the 30th of June. They are usually great fun - its 99% english music.

There is also a music night happening at 'Renix' pizzeria in St Kilda on Acland St on the 3rd of June at 7pm

The Melbourne.pl people do a BBQ where you can meet up with other poles (aged 20-40s mostly)

I had no idea!! It takes a little time for me to catch on. I'm also thinking that KS is a cousin of mine. Here I was thinking I met get a chance to chat with SOMEBODY I don't know on this forum!!! Any way - how are you and your family? I'm doing well, all my 'treatment' is over and I'm in stage 2 of this crazy life.

I JUST put 2 and 2 together Gary!!!!

Genealogy / Jankowice Town in Poland - records [77]

M - Are you related to Gary? I am!! Gary and I share the same ancestor: Michal Bartoszewicz..Here's how it goes between Gary and me: Michal's son Tomasz was Gary's Great Grandfather and another of Michal's sons Wincenty was my Great Great Grandfather. So Gary and my mum are 3rd cousins down the line. I'm guessing the relatives in Adelaide you speak of are my mum's aunts/uncle and their offspring.

Yeah, I found no Emilianowicz records but plenty on Bartoszewicz, Klaczkiewicz - dating all the way back to 1670!

It would be interesting to know the connection between us.

Genealogy / Jankowice Town in Poland - records [77]


Hi M, what do you mean? Maybe you're thinking of someone else?



Hi KS - I think I know who you are?!

Genealogy / Jankowice Town in Poland - records [77]

Hmmmm - you never know!! My parents told me it was a pretty small place and it also looks like that there were some major family groups who married into each other - surnames I am interested in are Klackiewicz, Bartoszewicz, Emilianowicz and others such as Miszuk, Adamcewicz, Staszkiewicz. Any of those ring a bell?

Genealogy / Jankowice Town in Poland - records [77]

KS: I am also looking at my ancestry and have found out a bit about mine who also came from Jankowice/Rudnia (Belarus) area during that time. If you're from Melbourne, register on GaduGadu forum on the DziuplaMelbourne site and we can chat there.
