Earliest Kiebuz ancestors

The oldest Kiebuz connection to the Pikulice area is one Oles Kiebuz (b. ca. 1791-d. 11 Feb. 1854). Typical of all other 18th and 19th century members of this extended family, he worked as a farmer. He married Maria (née Stankiewicz) (b. ca. 1791-d. 16 Dec. 1852). She lived at house no. 89 on her death. He at house no. 68.
     Their children included: Anna (b. ca. 1811-d. 12 or 14 Dec. 1859 (house no. 68)); Mykhailo (b. ca. 1811-d. 5 Sep. 1855 (house no. 1)); Hryhorii (b. ca. 1813-d. 12 Mar. 1865); Ilia (b. ca. 1821-d. 17 Dec. 1872 (house no. 68));  Fedir (b. ca. 1825-d. 21 Jan. 1895); Eva (b. ca. 1826-d. 8 Oct. 1866 (house no. 68)); Mykola (b. ca. 1828-d. 25 Mar. 1854 (house no. 68)); and Rosalia (b. ca. 1831-d. 12 Feb. 1854 (house no. 68)). The deaths of the parents and children were recorded in the Ukrainian Catholic parish register as occurring in Pikulice.

Mykhailo, also a farmer, married Maria Cukernik (b. ca. 1820-d. 5 Feb. 1886 (house no. 1)). They had at least one son, Panteleimon (b. ca. 1839-d. 25 July 1894 (house no. 2)), and one daughter, Kateryna (b. ca. 1851-d. 17 Nov. 1855 (house no. 1)).

Panteleimon married twice. His first wife was Maria Dziuban (b. ca. 1844-d. 21 Oct. 1882 (house no. 1); daughter of Josef and Pelagia). They married on 17 February 1861. Panteleimon, or Panko, was then associated with house no. 68. Their children included: Ivan (b. 10 Oct. 1862 (house no. 1, probably died in infancy)); Ivan (b. 10 May 1867 (house no. 2)); Hryhorii (b. June 1868-d. 1 Jan. 1869 (house no. 2)); Anastasia (b. 1873-d. 31 Oct. 1877 (house no. 1)); Paraskevia (b. Oct. 1877-d. 14 May 1878 (house no. 1); and Anastasia (b. 15 Oct. 1882-d. 22 Oct. 1882 (house no. 1)). Maria and her last daughter died within a day of each other. It appears that Panteleimon then married another Maria (b. ca. 1846-d. 30 July 1917; house no. 28), for a child named Anastasia (b. 3 Jan. 1888- d. 5 Jan. 1888; house no. 1) was born to a couple with these same names. Panteleimon died of tuberculosis in 1882. His son Petro, (b. 6 July 1881), immigrated to the United States, and settled in Glastonbury, Connecticut.

Hryhorii worked as labourer. His first wife was named Maria Olesko? (b. ca. 1810-d. 23 March 1852 (house no. 44)). They had a son named Ivan (b. ca. June 1851-d. 1 Jan. 1852), and, possibly, a daughter born earlier named Anastasia (married to Hryhorii Pluchan?). He remarried Anna Placka (b. ca. 1805; daughter of Iakiv and Maria Halala) on 15 June 1860. They were both widowed, and resided at house no. was 65. Hryhorii's address at time of death was no. 44.

Ilia married Anna Sadowska (b. ca. 1816) on 24 November 1840 at the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Blonie. Anna was the daughter of Ivan Sadowski and Theodoria Stojatowska. Their witnesses were Ivan Kaczmar and Stefan Dziuba. The address given at the time of their wedding was, for him, 62, Pikulice and for her, 14, Podgorze.

Fedir (or Fedor), a farmer in Pikulice, married Anastasia (b. ca. 1828-d. 11 Dec. 1908 (house no. 154), daughter of Mykhailo and Kateryna) on 9 May 1858. They had a number of children: Xenia (b. 1858-d. 14 July 1863); Vasyl (b. 10 April 1861-d. 10 April 1862); Semen (b. 18 May 1863-d. 27 Nov. 1863); Anna (8 Sep. 1865); Anna (b. 8 Feb. 1867); and Mykola (b. ca. 1869-d. 24 Sep. 1881). Fedir died at age 70 of old age. At the time of the births and deaths of his children, and his own death, he resided at house no. 68 in Pikulice.

Ivan (dates unknown), a farmer, married Maria (b. ca. 1846-d. 30 July 1917). They had at least one daughter named Maria (b. 22 Oct. 1884-d. 16 Mar. 1939 (of tuberculosis))). The daughter married an Ivan, likely also a Kiebuz. Their children were Kateryna (Nov. 1908-25 Oct. 1909 (of stomach illness); house no. 20); Rosalia (1910-25 July 1916 (of measles); [no house no.]); Olha (1911-25 July 1916 (of measles); [no house no.]); and Roman (b. May 1926-d. 19 Aug.1926; house no. 20). House no. 20 was next door to 28 in Nehbryka.

The generation of the 1860s includes the direct line to our Kiebuzinski family, as well as one or two members who were either brothers or cousins of Iosyp. 

There is a couple that appears in the death register for the Ukrainian Catholic parish in Pikulice and Nehrybka alternately as Ilia and Foki, Ivan and Eva, and Ivan and Evdokia. These could be not one but two couples, but it is not clear. There are no dates associated with them. Anyway, the following children were born to this couple or couples: Dmytro (b. Oct. 1885-d. 14 Mar. 1890 (house no. 100); son of Ivan and Eva); Maria (b. Sep. 1887-d. 26 Mar. 1891 (house no. 100); daughter of Ivan and Eudoxia); Anna (b. Aug. 1891-d. 18 Apr. 1892 [no address]; daughter of Ivan and Eudoxia); and Anna (b. Apr. 1904-d. 4 Dec. 1906 [no address]; daughter of Ilia and Foki).

There is also an Ivan (b. ca. 1862-d. 7 July 1891), probably not associated with the couple above because of his death date, who was a farmer in Pikulice. His last residence was house no. 100.
