House numbers: Raczkiewicz side (Sabaudia, Gorno, Majdan Gorny & Laszczowka)

House numbers: Raczkiewicz side: I know addresses for houses in the villages my ancestors lived in are probably different now, but it is fun to look at those few records that give a house number where someone was born or died. By looking at them, I am trying to piece together some information about their lives. On the Raczkiewicz side, the villages that the ancestors were in were Sabaudia, Górno , Majdan Górny, and Łaszczówka. In the records that I have seen so far, actual house numbers were given for all of them except Sabudia. The relatives involved are the families of Golebiowski, Raczkiewicz, Dominik, and Grabek who seemed to go back and forth between Górno, Majdan Górny and Sabuadia. Also, the Krawczyk family who were from the half-Jewish community of Laszczowka. Górno and Majdan Górny: Majdan Górny. and Górno are 1.7 miles apart but 7 miles by road according to Google maps.. Majdan Górny is four miles east of Tomaszów Lubelski. Górno [ˈɡurnɔ] is 2 miles north of Tomaszów Lubelski. On this map you can see where Górno and Majdan Górny (and Sabaudia) are in relation to each other and to the city of Tomaszow Lubelski. Górno has 130 people living there currently. The house numbers mentioned in family records are: 11, 20, 100. (I wonder if #100 is a mistake and should be #10?) Families who had lived in Majdan Gorny and Sabaudia moved to Górno for part of their life. The first one was born in Majdan Gorny but went to Gorno after his children were raised. Franciszek Golebiowski (a 5x great grandfather) died in #20 in Górno in 1813. He had been born in Majdan Górny in approximately 1753 and was living there in 1783, when daughter Apolonia was born in Majdan Górny. He must have moved from Majdan Górny to Górno sometime after that since when he died at age 65, that is where he lived. Tomasz Dominik (my 4x great grandfather) was born in Majdan Gorny but was living in Górno in house number 100. His grandson Michael Raszkiewicz and wife Anna nee Dominik had their oldest son Jan in 1824 in this house. Jan was born at 8pm on December 26 so it is possible they were visiting for the Christmas holiday. Their other children were all born in Majdan Gorny after this. Walenty Grabek (a 4x great grandfather) died in house #11 in Górno in 1812. Fourteen years earlier he lived in Majdan Górny when son Lukasz was born. -------------------------- Majdan Górny has 1,300 people living there now. The village of Majdan Górny was founded at the beginning of the 18th century and takes its name from Górno. The house numbers mentioned in the family record are 30, 39 and 71. Franciszek Golebiowski’s wife Katarzyna (5x great grandmother) died in 1820 in house #30. She would have been in had Górno when he died seven years earlier. She likely moved near her daughter Apolonia and son Pawel after her husband died. Her daughter Apolonia (4x great) and husband Jan Raczkiewicz lived at #71 between 1813 and 1818. They then moved to #39 after 1821. This is documented after all their children except Jan were born in these two houses. Jan had been born in his grandparents’ Franciszek & Katarzyna Golebiowski’s house in Górno --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then in Laszczow: Łaszczówka is a village about one mile east of Tomaszów Lubelski. It has about 1,000 residents. The family members that lived there several generations of Krawczyk’s. The house numbers mentioned int he records are # 5 and 10. Rozalia Krawczyk (my 5x great grandmother) died in 1814 in #5. Five years later in 1820, her husband Kazmierez (my 5x great grandfather) died in house # 10. This was the house of his son Wojciech. Very likely Kazmierez went to live with his son after his wife died ---------------------------------------- Tangopaso, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons
