“On 23rd January at 5 o'clock in the evening died Lukasz Grabek (my 3x great grandfather), widower, age 61, born in Majdan Gorny. On 25th January 1861 9 o'clock in the morning, presented themselves Jakob Raczkiewicz, age 39 and Piotr Raczkiewicz, age 50 , both peasants from Majdan Gorny and confirmed that he died.” (The witnesses were people close to them: Marianna’s husband's brother was Jakub and her husband’s uncle was Piotr.) *****
Lukasz was born about 1798 in Majdan Gorny. His parents were Walenty Grabek and Teresa nee Walawender. His father died when he was 14 and his mother remarried about a year later. *****
Lukasz was married when he was 25. He was living with his mother and stepfather Grzegorz Lebiowdoski(a widower) and they were peasant farmers from Majdan Gorny. The bride was Katarzyna Krawczyk, 20, who lived with her parents, Antoni Krawczyk and Dorota nee Lokaj, peasant farmers, from the village Laszczowka. The witnesses were Marcin Walawender, 55 (his stepfather), Jan Garbul, 30, Jozef Litwin, 54, and Bartlomiej Krawczyk, 36, (his brother-in-law) all peasant farmers. The first two were from Majdan Gorny and the other two were from Laszczowka. *****
Their daughter Marianna (my 2x great grandmother) was born 1843 and when she married in 1862, both her parents were deceased. When I wrote this on January 1, 2021, I was sure they had other children but I had not “found” them yet. Shortly after I found a sister named Rozalia. There were more siblings to be found –Jozef, Jakub, Apolonia, and Franciszka. *****
Lukasz’s wife Katarzyna Krawczyk died March 28 1853, eight years before him. She was 53 years old when she died. Katarzyna had been born in Laszczowka but lived in Majdan Gorny for the previous 31 years with Lukasz after they were married. Lukasz and his wife had a daughter Marianna (my 2x great grandmother.)
