I see that one of your ancestors (or relatives) was Puzio. I find your etymology page very interesting, especially the derivation pyza -> Puzio. I would like to add that, to my knowledge, it is possible that Puzio isn't a Polish name, but Italian instead. I can send you more details on this if you are interested. I also wold like to tell you that "niesmiertelny" means "immortal" in Polish (without any doubts). It is a commonly used adjective, which is formed from words "nie" (no, not; negation) and "smierc" (death; "s" and "c" in this word are accented). "-elny" is a suffix used to form the adjective. For sure the word "niesmiertelny" is not derived from the word "mierzyc". I will study your genealogy tree deeper, because there is a possibility that all Polish Puzios (there are also Puzios in Italy) are one big family. I hope the information I've given here would be helpful to you. Greetings from Poland!

Here are a few facts about my family. My branch of the Puzio family comes from Cudow. This is a small village near Kozienice (which in turn is 30 km North-East from Radom). The grandfather (Pawel) of my grandfather (Stanislaw) lived there, before he moved to to Bazanow Nowy (near Ryki, 60 km North-West from Lublin). In this village several generation lived, until my grandfather moved to Warsaw. This is rather far from Nisko, which is about 100 km South from that area. I have however found other Puzios, who are now in Canada, and whose ancestors are from the region near Zamosc (70 km South-East from Lublin and 70 km East from Nisko), but they came there from Pionki near Radom (15 km from Kozienice). So, putting all these geographic relations together, it is possible that all Puzios are one family which has spread from the Kozienice region (perhaps from Cudow). My grandfather told me that Puzio was a very common name in that area (in some localities half of inhabitants were Puzios, or even more). When my grandfather was young, he heard that his ancestor came from Italy (perhaps it was Pawel's grandfather). This fact hasn't been verified in any way, but I think it is probable. Name Puzio is quite popular in Italy (I have found several Italians with this name). Pawel Puzio worked as a servant in the count Jezierski's estate in Cudow, so I assume that his Italian ancestor could come to this estate as a man-servant, for example. It was quite common in aristocratic estates to hire foreigners as man-servants. These are my guesses which haven't been proved in any way. I intend to go to Cudow and check parish books there (but this won't happen in the near future). I think we have a common ancestor, but this relationship dates earlier than 5 generations ago, so it would be difficult to track (unless your ancestors lived in Bazanow Nowy before they moved to Nisko). So, this is all for now. Best wishes and greetings from Poland!

That would be indeed very interesting if it turns out that your ancestors are from the area near Kozienice. I would really appreciate if you send me the results of your research. For now, I can tell that it is possible that "the first Puzio" came to Poland with Queen Bona, although I have nothing to prove it. This however would make my (our?) investigation rather difficult, because it will require tracking 15-16 generations. Powodzenia (good luck) Maciej --------- » Show All «Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ... 138» Next» » Slide Show |
