Urban ZIEMBA and Maria nee GALUS

One of the biographies in the St. Stanislaus Church (Duncan, Platte County, Nebraska) Centennial book is of Joseph and Mary DROZD ZIEMBA.  Joseph's father, Urban, "came to the U.S. from Tarnow, Poland in 1896 to seek out a suitable home for his family.  His wife, Mary (Galus) Ziemba, brought the rest of the family across in 1899."  (St. Stanislaus Centennial Book, page 172)

My initial interest in this family was to see if I could find a connection between Mary GALUS and my GALUS line, which originated from Leki Gorne / Łęki Górne, Poland.  However, I did not find anything about her or her husband in the Parish of Leki Gorne / Łęki Górne. 

In September 2006 I ordered one of the LDS microfilms (#2037802) for the Parish of Szynwałd, Poland, researching another surname.  While searching these records, I recognized the names of Urban ZIEMBA and Mary nee GALUS on a baptism record.   Serendipity!!  I have found no connection between Maria's and my GALUS family, so far.

Urban ZIEMBA and Maria GALUS were married in Szynwałd, Galicia, Poland. 

19 Oct 1881
Groom: Urbanus Zięba, son of Thomas and Helena nee Laska, Catholic, age 31, single, house 15

(Source: LDS microfilm 2037802, item 10, page 49)

So far I found baptism records for two of their children born in Szynwałd.
