Genealogy / Surnames Gall / Figura / Odrowaz [34]

[Moved from]: Anyone here from Załuczne, or Odrowaz Podhalanski?

We are a group of American friends who have discovered that our families came from Załuczne, Odrowaz, and nearby Podhale villages. We would like to meet people who live, or once lived in these villages. Thank you!!

Genealogy / Surnames Gall / Figura / Odrowaz [34]

Hi Angeline,

Are you still watching this thread? I see that my cousin also left a message on this thread about Zmuda families. I have some Gal, Figura and Stafira info that I collected this past summer while I was in Odrowaz (Odrowąż).

Figura, Michał, born in 1899
mother:
Czepiel, Anastazja
maternal grandparents: Czepiel, Józef and Knup, Katarzyna

father: Figura, Wojciech
paternal grandparents: Figura, Jan and Gal, Anna

I don't see the name Petin in my notes, but I do have a few Pitoń.

I am trying to locate other's who have ancestors from this small village Odrowąż in Malopolskie, near Nowy Targ. I am especially interested in seeing old photos taken of people, buildings, farms, and anything else in the village of Odrowaz.

My family names are Kulawiak, Kadłub, Stafira, Pagacz - all from Odrowąż, and surname Figura, from Czarny Dunajec.

Does anyone have any historical info to share?
Thanks!
