Genealogy / Polish surname Gil. My ancestors were from the town of Widelka. [74]

Hello,
I have some information about Gil family from Chabówka (parish Rabka Zdrój)
As far as the research went Gil’s family nest is in Rabka parish. Kolbuszowa is about 200 km from Rabka. Kind of far, but in the old times people were also traveling and settled in a new places. The oldest Gil I know about is Michal Gil born ab.1774, he married Barbara Banaś.

Let me know if you find out that there is a possibility that your Gil line is connected with Rabka line. I can contact you with living relatives in Poland and in USA.

Greetings
Aleksandra
