Hi Ola (I love your name),
Thank you for this. It’s interesting how polish/Silesian works.
I did notice that Wygorzelle wasn’t on the register I just assumed it wasn’t significant enough, i will look into it.
Also, in regards to what Andrzej said, it looks like he was right that Janotas came from Berun, as Dr Schäffer from the archdiocese archive in Katowice forwarded onto me an extract of an ironworks/smelter/smithing document from Paprocany (originally right next to Urbanowice) in 1737, which mentions a Jendres (archaic variant of Andrzej) Janota, a smith from Berun. Possibly an ancestor.
I found it funny how over time towns move away from eachother as they expand. Meyer’s gazetteer is helpful for getting an understanding what the area was like closer to that period.
Best regards,
George
