Jan Śliwka (1823–1874) was a teacher, reporter, author of textbooks, presbyter of the evangelical Church in Cieszyn and also one of the leading Polish nationalist activists in the district of Cieszyn Silesia. The present article contains an edition of a valuable source to Jan Śliwka’s biography which up until now has been unknown to scholars. The source in question is Śliwka’s last will which was drawn up on 23 June 1873 and is currently to be found in the State Archive in Cieszyn. The source may also be used in research on the mentality of the Polish intelligentsia of peasant origin belonging to the Augsburg evangelical church. It also gives one an idea about the quality of the Polish language used by the graduates of the evangelical high school and the six-week teacher training course in Cieszyn.

The article presents the history of the Branny peasant family, settled in Sibica near Cieszyn (now located within the boundaries of Český Těšín), from the 17th century to the beginning of the 20th century. The Branny family belonged to a group of the so-called „siedlaki”, which was a local term for wealthy peasants. The most distinguished representatives of the family include Jan (1841–1917), a mayor of Sibica and Polish national and social activist, his sons Rudolf (1879–1968), an economist living in Styria, later a tenant of farms in Kostkowice and Simoradz, and Alojzy (1883–1941), a Polish national activist, mayor of Sibica and Żuków Górny (Horní Žukov), and his grandsons Rudolf (1910–1964), a notary and social activist, and Ernest (1898–1937), a fire chief of Sibica. The article provides material for researches on peasant elites living in Cieszyn Silesia, peasant names and their marriage policy. It can be used for writing monographs concerning the village of Sibica.

The Lipa family was a catholic peasant family from Cieszyn, Silesia. Its progenitor was Grzegorz Lipa (d. 1738), the owner of the land in Kalembice near Cieszyn. The later owners of this land were his son Jan (d. 1743/1745), his grandson Jakub (d. after 1771) and his great-grandson Adam (1767-1835), who was also a village leader (wójt) of Kalembice. Adam (1802-1882), the son of Adam, settled down in Bobrek. His sons, despite different lifestyles, identified themselves with Polish culture. Paweł (1846-1917) spent most of his life outside his country. He was a Major General in the Austro-Hungarian Army. However, he was not ashamed of his roots and spoke good Polish. After retirement he settled down in Cieszyn. Franciszek (1848-1936) lived in Bobrek near Cieszyn. He was a Polish social and national activist, and a member of Polish organisations: the Duchy of Cieszyn Motherland Schools (Macierz Szkolna Księstwa Cieszyńskiego) and the Union of Silesian Catholics (Związek Śląskich Katolików). By defending their language identities they became members of community whose history is connected not with the Duchy of Cieszyn but with neighbouring country, the Polish-Lithunian Commonwealth.

Addenda to the biography of Michał Dzierżanowski (around 1722–1809) The present article contains rectifications and addenda to the biography of Michał Dzierżanowski, a famous adventurer and one of the leaders of the Bar Confederacy. In all likelihood, he was born around the year 1722 and not 1725 as has been assumed in the literature up until now. After he had enlisted in the French army, he was subsequently taken captive by the English in April 1744 while on his way to Flanders (earlier on, this event was reported to have occurred around the year 1744). It was confi rmed that in the years 1753–1754, he had served in the French army in India, where he was promoted to the rank of commander of the village of Chalambaram; it was also confi rmed that in 1761 he had visited Spain. Michał Dzierżanowski died on 25 March 1809 and not in 1808, as had been assumed earlier. The accounts of Claude-Carloman de Rulhiere and Henryk Rzewuski concerning Dzierżanowski’s foreign adventures prior to the year 1764 had also been partly verifi ed. Further research should bring about successive addenda to the biography of this adventurer.

The Pszczółkas from Krasna near Cieszyn (17th–20th century) The Pszczółkas were a Catholic family of peasants who lived in Krasna since the 17th century. Not later than in the 18th century they came into possession of land for settlement which remained in their possession for at least seven generations. If the father died at an advanced age, the household was taken over by the youngest son; if the father died prematurely, the household went into the hands of the oldest son. The Pszczółkas played an important role in the history of the village: Andrzej (1720–1783) and Jan (1787–1846) were heads of the village. Paweł (1825–1864) and his wife Maria contributed to the history of Krasna by adopting Jan Binkowski, who became the local teacher. Jan (1879–1926) took active part in Polish national movement just like his relatives and relatives-in law (e.g. Franciszek Tomanek from Ropica and his son Father Rudolf Tomanek, Franciszek Lipa from Bobrek, Andrzej Francus and his son Franciszek, Karol Biłko from Krasna).

Kłodowie byli rodziną chłopską, wywodzącą się najprawdopodobniej z Końskiej na Śląsku Cieszyńskim. W latach 40. XVIII wieku osiedlili się w Puńcowie. Jan (ok. 1715-1790) i Paweł (1721-1796) jako pierwsi z rodu nabyli grunty w tejże miejscowości. Artykuł przedstawia 120 biogramów Kłodów z Puńcowa, dodatkowo rozważa zagadnienie ich przynależności etnicznej i językowej. Kłodowie byli polskojęzycznymi chłopami, a w drugiej połowie XIX wieku znaleźli się w strefie oddziaływania polskiego ruchu narodowego. Popierał go m.in. Andrzej Kłoda (ur. 1816), właściciel gospodarstwa w Puńcowie nr 50. Jego wnuk Paweł (1879-1968) należał do polskich stowarzyszeń. Po rozpadzie monarchii austro-węgierskiej w 1918 roku działał na rzecz przyłączenia rodzinnej wioski do odrodzonego państwa polskiego, był nawet twórcą hasła: „Nie ma Polski bez Puńcowa”. Zebrany materiał można wykorzystać m.in. w badaniach nad imiennictwem chłopów na Śląsku Cieszyńskim, ich mobilnością i pozycją majątkową.

The Kłoda family was a peasant family most likely originating from Końska in Cieszyn Silesia. In the 40s of the 18th century they settled down in Puńców. Jan (1715–1790) and Paweł (1721–1796) as the first of the family purchased the land in the village of Puńców. The following article presents 120 biographies of the Kłoda family members, additionally discussing the issue of their ethnic and language membership. The Kłoda family were Polish speaking peasants, and in the second half of the 19th century they were in the zone of the influence of the Polish national movement. The movement was supported, among others, by Andrzej Kłoda (b.1816), the owner of the farm no.50 in Puńców. His grandson, Paweł (1879-1968), belonged to Polish associations. After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918, he actively worked for the family village to join the reborn Poland, he was the author of the slogan: “There’s no Poland without Puńców”. The collected material can be used, inter alia, in the study on naming peasants within Cieszyn Silesia, their mobility and property status.

Jan Sztwiertnia (1850-1912) remains forgotten in the regional historiography. He descendent from a peasant family which lived in Cieszyn Silesia for generations. Was active both in the local community (32 years as mayor of Kisielowo) as well as in the affairs of the entire region. A member of the administration of the Silesian Catholic Association (ZŚK), School Society of the Cieszyn Duchy (Macierz Szkolna Księstwa Cieszyńskiego) and the Agricultural Association of the Cieszyn Duchy (Towarzystwo Rolnicze Księstwa Cieszyńskiego), also an associate of the Polish National Movement. Twice a candidate to the State Council in Vienna, in both cases running against the candidates from ZŚK. In 1901 lost in second round against the socialist Petr Cingr, who had the support of some of the Polish parties. In 1907 supported by „Silesia”, a newspaper of German liberals. Sztwiertnia then lost to priest Józef Londzin from ZŚK. His career demonstrates that although clearly supported by the Catholic wing of Polish national movement, at the turn of the century he was able to win the support which transcended national and religious boundaries in Cieszyn Silesia.

We know very little about the emigration from Cieszyn Silesia to the United States of America in the second half of the 19th century. One source of information concerning the history of emigration is the press. The most important Polish newspaper in Cieszyn Silesia was Gwiazdka Cieszyńska (literally: The Cieszyn Star). Examination of issues of Gwiazdka Cieszyńska from 1851 to 1887 (the period when Paweł Stalmach was the editor-in-chief) provides some information about the emigration from Cieszyn Silesia to the United States of America. Additionally, it reveals how the newspaper created an image of the United States of America aimed at discouraging their readers from emigrating to this country.

Zającowie byli jedną z najważniejszych rodzin chłopskich osiadłych w Ogrodzonej koło Cieszyna. W artykule przedstawiono losy Zająców z Ogrodzonej od protoplasty rodu Jerzego, kowala, który w 1614 roku nabył grunt w tej miejscowości, aż do przełomu XIX i XX wieku. Z tej rodziny wywodzili się między innymi Andrzej (1818–1885), lekarz w Cieszynie i działacz społeczny, Jerzy (1826–1896), radny Ogrodzonej, działacz społeczny, i Jan (1865–1943), wójt Ogrodzonej, polski działacz narodowy i społeczny, w 1928 roku kandydat w wyborach do Senatu. Zebrany materiał może stanowić podstawę do analizy imiennictwa chłopów na Śląsku Cieszyńskim, ich wyborów religijnych w dobie kontrreformacji i polityki małżeńskiej elit chłopskich oraz wyborów politycznych w 2. połowie XIX i na początku XX wieku.

The Zając family was one of the most important peasant families settled in the village of Ogrodzona near Cieszyn. The article presents the fate of the family from Ogrodzona from Jerzy, the progenitor of the family and a blacksmith, who in 1614 acquired land in the village, until the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century. Members of this family include among others Andrzej (1818–1885), a physician in Cieszyn and social activist, Jerzy (1826–1896), a local councilor and social activist, and Jan (1865–1943), a mayor of the village of Ogrodzona and Polish national and social activist, who in 1928 was a candidate in election to the Senate. The collected materials can form the basis for the analysis of the naming tradition of peasant families from Cieszyn Silesia, their religious choices in the era of the Counter-Reformation, marital policy of peasant elites and political choices in second half of the nineteenth and the early twentieth century.

Artykuł przedstawia zarys dziejów chłopskiego rodu Miencielów/Mięcielów, przede wszystkim skupiając się na linii osiadłej od 1720 roku w Marklowicach koło Cieszyna. Jej najbardziej znanym przedstawicielem był Paweł (ur. 1881), nauczyciel w Międzyświeciu i Gruszowie, dyrektor Publicznej Szkoły Ludowej (ewangelickiej) we Lwowie, przed 1920 rokiem działacz proniemieckiej Śląskiej Partii Ludowej. Zebrany materiał może być wykorzystany do badań między innymi nad imiennictwem chłopów i przebiegiem kontrreformacji na Śląsku Cieszyńskim (Miencielowie przeszli z protestantyzmu na katolicyzm, ale jeden z przedstawicieli rodu po 1781 roku, zapewne pod wpływem matki-luteranki, przeszedł na protestantyzm).

The article presents an outline of the history of the peasant family named Mienciel/Mięciel, primarily focusing on the line settled in 1720 in Marklowice near Cieszyn. Its most famous representative was Paweł (born in 1881), a teacher in Międzyświeć and Gruszów and a headmaster of the People's (Evangelical) School in Lviv, who before 1920 was an activist of the pro-German Silesian People's Party. The collected material can be used for research, among others, over the peasant family names and the course of the Counter-Reformation in Cieszyn Silesia (the Mienciel family converted from Protestantism to Catholicism, but after 1781 one of the family members, probably under the influence of the Lutheran mother, converted to Protestantism).

Na Śląsku Cieszyńskim zachowało się szereg chłopskich notatek z XVIII i XIX wieku, których autorów w literaturze nazywa się „cieszyńskimi piśmiorzami” lub „zapiśnikarzami”. W ostatnich latach najszerzej to zjawisko omówił Janusz Spyra w opracowaniu „Historiografia a tożsamość regionalna w czasach nowożytnych na przykładzie Śląska Cieszyńskiego w okresie od XVI do początku XX wieku”. Niniejszy artykuł wnosi drobne uzupełnienia faktograficzne. Omawia losy „zapiśnikarzy” z rodu Wacławików. Byli nimi Andrzej (zm. 1777) z Pielgrzymowic na pruskim Śląsku, jego (przypuszczalny) syn Jerzy (zm. 1780, 1792 albo 1793), chałupnik w Pielgrzymowicach, oraz wnuk Paweł (1768–1850), który osiedlił się na Śląsku Cieszyńskim (najpierw mieszkał w Zamarskach, później w Hażlachu). Szczególny nacisk położono na kwestie genealogiczne.

A number of peasant notes from the 18th and 19th centuries, whose authors are called “Cieszyn folk writers” (cieszyńscy piśmiorze) or “note takers” (zapiśnikarze), have been preserved in Cieszyn Silesia. In recent years, this phenomenon has been most extensively discussed by Janusz Spyra in the study: "Historiografia a tożsamość regionalna w czasach nowożytnych na przykładzie Śląska Cieszyńskiego w okresie od XVI do początku XX wieku" (Eng. Historiography and Regional Identity in Modern Times on the Example of Cieszyn Silesia in the Period from the 16th to the Beginning of the 20th Century). This article brings minor factual supplements to the mentioned study. The author discusses the fate of “writers” from the Wacławik family. They were Andrzej (d. 1777) from Pielgrzymowice in Prussian Silesia, his (presumed) son Jerzy (d. 1780, 1792 or 1793), a cotter in Pielgrzymowice, and his grandson Paweł (1768–1850), who settled in Cieszyn Silesia (first he lived in Zamarski, later in Hażlach). Particular emphasis was placed on genealogical issues.

In Cieszyn Silesia (the eastern part of the crownland of Austrian Silesia) from the time local government was introduced in 1864 until 1918 it is possible to identify 1332 village mayors (German: Gemeindevorsteher; Polish: wójt; Czech: starosta). Of these, at least 1006 (almost 76 per cent) had another village mayor in Cieszyn Silesia in their ‘kindred circle’, which includes second-degree relatives according to canonical computation, as well as witnesses at weddings and baptisms of their closest family (children, parents, siblings). The uninterrupted lineage of these types of relationships connected at least 875 village mayors, or 66 per cent of all those known. Thus the partial democratisation at the level of local self-government led to a kind of oligarchy, with the position of the village head being assumed by wealthy peasant families who all had connections to one another. Outside of the ‘kindred circle’, there were the factory owners and officials of archdukes and counts, who took the position of village mayor in industrialised areas, as well as a few Jewish village mayors and probably the majority of village mayors from the mountain villages. The question examined here is whether the situation looked similar in other parts of the Habsburg monarchy, or whether Cieszyn Silesia stood out in this respect. This question remains unanswered due to the lack of analogous studies on village mayors.

The reviewed book details the fifty-year-long activity of the Folkloristic Section (Sekcja Folklorystyczna) (later transformed into the Ethnological Section [Sekcja Etnograficzna]) and the Regional History Section of the Polish Cultural-Educational Union (Polski Związek Kulturalno-Oświatowy). It is aimed mainly at persons interested in the region of Zaolzie, yet some of the texts may also be referred to as a supplementary material by researchers undertaking broader subjects, such as the operation of national minorities’ associations in communist states, or “from below” visions of regional history.
PL
Recenzowana książka dotyczy 50 -letniej działalności Sekcji Folklorystycznej (później przekształconej w Sekcję Ludoznawczą) i Sekcji Historii Regionu Polskiego Związku Kulturalno-Oświatowego. Pozycja jest skierowana głównie do osób zainteresowanych Zaolziem, ale niektóre teksty mogą zostać wykorzystane jako materiał uzupełniający przez badaczy podejmujących szersze zagadnienia, jak np. funkcjonowanie stowarzyszeń mniejszości narodowych w krajach komunistycznych czy „oddolne” wizje historii regionalnej.
