Konstancja (Wiciejewska) Nitka Died in Rybnica
The Konstancja who was a twin (my 3rd great aunt, born a Wiciejewska and married a Nitka) died in Rybnica in 1897. The area belonged to the Zamość estate. It included 90 acres of land, a mill and a water sawmill. The town was named after a large fish pond. The area included pine forests and the legend is that during the Tatar attacks, the whole town fled into these forests. Because the soil is sandy and the town was a great distance from the larger cities, the inhabitants were poor. Besides agriculture, many people were involved in smuggling alcohol.
