Location: Laszczow

The Krawczyk family is from Łaszczówka. I can trace three generations of Krawczyks in Laszczow up until Katarzyna married Lukasz Grabek in 1823 and moved to Majdan Gorny. Her parents (Antoni Krawczyk and Dorota Kozyra) and grandparents (Kazmierez Krawczyk and Rozalia nee Kobak) were from Łaszczów. Kazmierez and Rozalia were born in the mid 1700’s. They all worked as peasant farmers. There is a Łaszczówka and a Łaszczówka-Kolonia and I think they lived in the one that is not the colony,but I am not sure. They are not that far apart. Łaszczówka is a village about one mile east of Tomaszów Lubelski in Tomaszów Lubelski County, Lublin Voivodeship (area administered by a governor.) It has about 1,000 residents. It was a town from the mid 1500s until 1870 and it regained its status as a town in 2010. It is the seat of the gmina (community) called Gmina Łaszczów. From a record on the Kaszucki side, I believe there was an estate there that produced tobacco. Here are images of a mansion there that is in ruins.
