ZIEMBA Family
This family connects to my GALUS family.  Please use your browser's BACK button to return to this page.

Urban ZIEMBA and Maria nee GALUS

One of the biographies in the St. Stanislaus Church (Duncan, Platte County, Nebraska) Centennial book is of Joseph and Mary DROZD ZIEMBA.  Joseph's father, Urban, "came to the U.S. from Tarnow, Poland in 1896 to seek out a suitable home for his family.  His wife, Mary (Galus) Ziemba, brought the rest of the family across in 1899."  (St. Stanislaus Centennial Book, page 172)

My initial interest in this family was to see if I could find a connection between Mary GALUS and my GALUS line, which originated from Leki Gorne / Łęki Górne, Poland.  However, I did not find anything about her or her husband in the Parish of Leki Gorne / Łęki Górne. 

In September 2006 I ordered one of the LDS microfilms (#2037802) for the Parish of Szynwałd, Poland, researching another surname.  While searching these records, I recognized the names of Urban ZIEMBA and Mary nee GALUS on a baptism record.   Serendipity!!  I have found no connection between Maria's and my GALUS family, so far.

Urban ZIEMBA and Maria GALUS were married in Szynwałd, Galicia, Poland. 

19 Oct 1881
Groom: Urbanus Zięba, son of Thomas and Helena nee Laska, Catholic, age 31, single, house 15
Bride: Maria Galus, daughter of Casimirus and Julianna nee Litwin, Catholic, age 25, single
Witnesses: Dominicus Stanczyk, Antonius Galus
(Source: LDS microfilm 2037802, item 10, page 49)

So far I found baptism records for two of their children born in Szynwałd.

Catharina ZIĘBA, Catholic, daughter, legitimate
Born 9 Feb 1883, baptized 10 Feb 1883; house 214
Father: Urbanus Zięba, son of Thomas and Anna nee Laska
Mother: Maria Golus, daughter of Casimirus and Julianna nee Litwin
Godparents: Antonius Golus, Catharina Golus wife of Joannes
(LDS microfilm, 2037802, item 1, page 259)

Joannes ZIĘBA, Catholic, son, legitimate
Born 1 Feb 1885, baptized 4 Feb 1885; house 214
Father: Urbanus Zięba, son of Thomas and Anna nee Laska
Mother: Maria Golus, daughter of Casimirus and Julianna nee Litwin
Godparents: Joannes Golus, Agnes Golus wife of Antonius
(LDS microfilm, 2037802, item 1, page 274)
