George,

Matthæus Przybyła (Przybylla) in 1803 married the widow Hedvigis Janocina née Glasowna, whose first husband was Valentin Jonota, she married him in 1783 (her age matches in both records). Valentin may have been the brother of Adalbert, who in turn married Susanna Glasowna, and Susanna may have been Hedvigis’ sister.

Some of this information has already been discussed in this thread.

But there is still no trace connecting the Jonota and Bulla families, either directly or through aliases. This is the most mysterious issue here. Besides, as you can see above, issues of inheritance and family relationships can be complicated and not obvious.

That is why I recommend extreme caution in formulating conclusions without support from preserved records and/or documents.

I jeszcze akt urodzenia Józefa z 1901r.

Cześć,

W załączeniu skan aktu ślubu z 22.10.1900r. zawartego w Miasteczku Śląskim, państwo młodzi to Johann Pietrzik i Franziska Hylla. Podane przez Ciebie dane odnośnie Franciszki pokrywają się z treścią aktu, jedynie imię męża to Jan Pietrzik, a nie Józef.

Hi George,

The Janota/Janeta surname is most certainly associated with the town of Bieruń, the form Janecik appears in Cielmice. The records from the years 1727-1742 do not record anyone with these surnames in Urbanowice and Jaroszowice/Wygorzele.

But this does not prove anything because key information is still missing, such as weddings from Bieruń before 1770 and baptisms from the years 1742 to 1763. Therefore, it is impossible to determine where the Janota surname appeared in Urbanowice. The fact is that Jan Janota took over the farm in Urbanowice in 1750, which we know from the trial records from the end of the 18th century. But in what circumstances did this happen? Of course, one can forcefully see him as the „father” of Adalbert and Valentin, the time and place would match, but due to the lack of sources, it is impossible to prove it.

I would also look for the surname Pikos in nearby parishes, I advise you to avoid taking shortcuts on the advice of Uncle Google.

Besides, I don’t know if you are interpreting correctly what you received from the Archdiocesan Archive in Katowice. In 1783, Adalbert Janota married Susanna Glasowna (Glass) and began to use his wife’s surname in addition to his own. However, we do not know what Adalbert’s earlier genealogy looked like, because we do not have the records. Possible earlier aliases associated with the Janota surname are also a mystery.

Best regards,
Andrzej

Cześć Rado,

Przynajmniej częściową odpowiedź na swoje pytanie znajdziesz w starym wątku Spis mieszkańców Bierunia…, co ożywi znowu ten temat i zapobiegnie rozpraszaniu informacji po wielu postach.

Pozdrawiam,

Hi George,

I see you have read the thread entitled List of Bieruń Stary residents from December 1910, where I also posted some information about the residents of Urbanowice and Jaroszowice.

As for the Glas family, I can add that in the parish of Bieruń on 03.02.1788 Jacob Pikos, aged 26, and Regina Glasowna, aged 20, both from Wygorzele (Wygorzele is actually part of the village of Jaroszowice) were married. It is interesting to note that the young couple received a dispensation from being related in the 3rd and 4th degree. The witnesses at the wedding were: Clemens Jadamus and Francisco Pikos, both from Wygorzele.

In addition, in Bieruń on 07.02.1790 Joseph Janota, 27 years old, and Sophia Glasowna, 25 years old, both from Wygorzele, were married. The witnesses at their wedding were again Francisco Pikos and Clemens Jadamus from Wygorzele.

Clemens Jadamus was also a witness at the wedding of Adalbert Janot and Susanna Glasowna in 1783.

The Valentin Janota from Urbanowice mentioned by you, who married Hedwig Glasowna from Wygorzele on 03.02.1783, was 23 years old and his wife was 16 years old.

The oldest record of a wedding from the Bieruń parish in which the surname Glas appears comes from September 1773, unfortunately the pages are tightly sewn together, so the date is not entirely certain, but I am inclined to think that the wedding took place on September 2. On that day, Eve Glosovnam from Wygorzele married Stanley Drobiczek from Lędziny. The witness at their wedding was Francisco Pikos from Wygorzele.

In my opinion it should also be noted that on 10.01.1760 Adalbert son of Joseph Klos from Wygorzela was buried, there is no information at what age he died. We also have a record of the funeral of the 14 year old daughter of the mentioned here Joseph named Marina, who died on 13.04.1766. The surname Klos may be a corruption of the surname Glos, or vice versa!?

The surname or alias Glas/Glos/Klos does not appear in the baptismal records of the parish in Bieruń from 1727 to 1742. A representative of this family must have arrived in Wygorzele after 1742, perhaps from Wesoła or Miedźna?

I would advise you to approach the information contained in the Lendziner Dienstbüchern with caution, without a thorough analysis of the preserved church records, because surnames were a fluid issue in that area at that time, so there is no certainty that a given owner took over the farm from his father. You need to reconstruct the genealogy for the entire surname to see if anyone is missing, has started going by an alias, or has changed their surname entirely.

You must also remember that we don’t have baptisms from the Bieruń parish from 1742 to 1763, which makes it significantly more difficult to identify people born during that time.

Regards,
Andrzej
