PARISH DATE [from Blazejowskyj and Iwanusiw]

Church was “Saint Michael” [1756, still standing]

 

The wooden church was closed for 39 years after WWII and is now used by Polish Roman Catholics.  The village in 1510 belonged to the Standnyckyj family and in 1581 a Greek Catholic priest was known to have been in the parish.  In 1873 there was a cholera epidemic, in 1887 the crops were ruined by a “great Freeze”, in 1889 the locality was struck by drought and in 1899 and 1934 floods greatly damaged the village.

 

In 1918, under the leadership of the pastor, A Rus’ka narodna rada was formed, with the intention of forming a Lemko Republic joined to Czechoslovakia, but this was soon liquidated by the Polish Government.

 

In 1786 the village lands comprised 18.75 sq. km.  There were 528 Greek Catholics

0 Roman Catholics and 14 Jews

1840 – 356 Greek Catholics

1859 – 634 Greek Catholics

1879 – 698 Greek Catholics

1899 – 736 Greek Catholics

1926 – 820 Greek Catholics

1936 – 26 Greek Catholics and 1491 Orthodox, 4 Roman Catholics and 0 Jews

 

The village was incorporated into the Lemko Apostolic Administration in 1934
