Lesowiaks - who are they?

I found a short article about lesowiaks in a book about Poland, but then I haven't find a word about them on the internet. The book says that lesowiaks live in Kotlina Sandomierska, near Rzeszów. They are a small, proud and free ethnical group, who keep their old traditions. Kolbuszowa has a museum which can give a taste of their traditions.

But that's all, no more informations at all. If somebody could write me some more words about this interesting group, I would be much obliged.

The name Lasowiacy, etymologicaly people of the forest (pol. las), refers to people living between San and Vistula Rivers. They cut down woods and rafted it down the San and Vistula Rivers to the Baltic sea.

You can read about them in Polish Wikipedia:

Mind the space in the address (I've put it to circumvent the Admin restricion)

Thanks a lot!!:-) So that's the reason why I've found nothing about them, the wrong spelling.

Thread attached on merging:
lisowczyk

What is this??

could be a surname or a place name or a coat of arms or a name of cavalry organised by someone named Lisowski
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisowczycy

OK! Thank you very much! :-))
I mean... dziękuję bardzo!!

It's a soldier of a cavalry organised by Lisowski and it's a basic meaning of this word.
