Notes
a. Note:   Jadowniki Rycerskie is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Z.nin, within Z.nin County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.] It lies approximately 9 kilometres (6 mi) east of Z.nin and 33 km (21 mi) south of Bydgoszcz.
  Research Krzysztof Kacsmarek, Znin Pl , 2003 Having analyzed the church records. I would like to share my conclusions and suggestions concerning the Piechorowskich origin with you. First of all, Andrzej must have come to Brzyskorzystewko most probably about 1840 looking for job or he was brought here to look after sheep belonging to the owner of Brzyskorzystewko (Arnd or Frezer). Then the sheep were bred in Brzyskorzystew ( in so called Gog©ddka). Where did he come from Kcynia, Znin G©dra, Jadowniki it`s as difficult to find out as searching for a needle in a haystack. The reason why I think so is that there are no records (Baptism, marriage, burial) about Piechurowski before 1840. Secondly, I think that the original version of your surname is PIECHUROWSKI. Do you remember the school documents I had sent you. There were names PIECHUROWSKI and PIECHOROWSKI there. The root of the surname is PIECHUR it means a person who wanders, a vagabound. A shepherd also wanders. The surname probably originates from the shepherd. The job was taken from father to son. Sheep are not characteristic of our region, thats why shepherds were brought from the south of Poland, from Galicia (XV-XVIw). Thirdly, by marrying Emelia a farrmers daughter, Jan took over the farm, then he sold it and went away with his family to the USA. Andrew must have been very respected by people of the area as he and Michalina were very often asked to be godparents to children. I will send you the list of those families later.

  Both of Andrews God Parents were Generousa/Nobile ... perhaps this explains his education and land ownership. It may be that our early ancestors were Nobile by name and dirt poor.
