Anna Kiebus (b. ca. 1820-d. ca. 1870). She married Johann Langwald (b. ca. 1815) in 1840. They had a son Anton Langwald born 9 Oct. 1844 in Bleichenbarth, Heilsberg, Ostpreusser (today Bartniki, Lidzbark County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in northern Poland, about 25 miles NE of Olsztyn: there are still people with the surname Kiebus living in the Olsztyn area).

Peder Kiebus (b. ca. 1860 in Prussia). He arrived in New York City from Hamburg, Germany aboard the Frisia on 20 May 1884. He was a farmer.

Steven Kebus (b. abt. 1877 in Austria) arrived at Gateway, British Columbia from the United States on 30 June 1913.

 
Andrej Kiebyez (b. ca. 1892 in Kincze? could it be Kniazyce?). He immigrated to New York City on board the Laura from Trieste on 27 June 1911. He was identified as single, a laborer, and of Ruthenian nationality. His closest relative from home was his father Wasyl Kiebyez.

 
Joseph J. Kebus (b. 25 Dec. 1893 (in Ruthenia/Lithuania?)-d. 1 May 1954 in Watertown, CT). He was married to Julia (b. ca. 1898-d. 27 Oct. 1970 in Waterbury, CT). He registered for the World War II draft in 1942. At the time he was residing at 280 Middlebury Road in Watertown, Litchfield County, Connecticut, and worked as a castor for the Chase Brass & Copper Company.

John (Ivan) Kiebus (b. ca. 1895 in Poland). According to the 1920 U.S. Census, he was living as a boarder in Detroit Ward 16, Wayne, Michigan. He immigrated in 1913.

Zofia Kiebuz was born 14 February 1914 in the village Glinik (today within Ropczyce-Sędziszów County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship) to Jan Kiebuz and Maria Cetnarowska. She married Ignacy Kostecki (b. 11 Apr. 1908, Vybranivka, Bibrka district) on 26 December 1937 in the Roman Catholic church of Zurawica (just 9 km north of Przemysl). They divorced in Przemysl on 16 February 1948. (Visit: http://projekty.wimbp.rzeszow.pl/przeszlosc/dokumenty.php).

Jozef Kiebus (b. ca. 1919) married Wladyslawa Augustyn (b. ca. 1927) in winter 1947 in Braintree, Essex County, England. They had a daughter born in Chelmsford, Essex County, England. The family immigrated to New York City from Southampton, England aboard the Queen Elizabeth on 27 Nov. 1951. Their destination was 505 Lincoln, Riverhead, NY.

There was a blog story entitled "The True Survivorman" (2 Dec. 2009, by José Francisco Ocampo Alegre), that mentioned a Stanislaw Kibuzinski who immigrated to the San Martin area of greater Buenos Aires with his son Vladimiro. Stanislaw had served as a member of the Polish resistance in northwestern Poland, near Szczecin, during the Second World War.

  

Paul Kiebus (d. 14 Apr. 1944) is buried in a military cemetery in Romania.

Przemysl

Much of the information below is compiled from sacramental registers of the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in Przemysl. Other sources are provided in the text.

Iliia Kiebuzinski (b. ca. 1730-d. 9 Oct. 1790) died of dropsy. At the time of his death he lived at address 60 [Przemsyl]. His death was registered in the sacramental record of the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral.

Kateryna Kiebuzinska (b. ca. 1734-d. 4 Oct. 1799) died of typhus.

Maria Kiebuzinska (b. ca. 1747-d. 21 Aug. 1787). Her death was registered in the sacramental record of the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral.

Ivan Kiebuzinski (b. ca. 1770-d. 12 Mar. 1806) died of typhus. At the time of his death he resided at 128 [Przemysl].

A Kateryna Kiebuzinska married Stefan Hajdukiewicz. Their son Ivan (b. 15 June 1785) was baptized at the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral.

Maria Kiebuz (b. 28 Nov. 1866) was born to a Kiebuz, son of Antonii and Pelahia, and his wife Anna. She was baptized at the Ukrainian Cathedral. At that time the family resided at 180 Zasanie.

Katarzyna Kiebuz lived at 77 ul. Krzemieniec, Przemysl, in 1899.

A private in the Austro-Hungarian Army, named Mykola (Mikolaj/Nikolaus) Kiebuz, who served in the 3rd medical detachment of the medical corps stationed at the garrison hospital in Przemysl, died from typhus on 1 June 1915, just a few days before the German forces recaptured the fortress from the Russians. He was buried in the vicinity. Garrison hospitals not only cared for the sick but served as training schools for one-year volunteer medical students and men of the sanitats truppe. In addition, they maintained a reserve store of medical and surgical supplies, and acted as mobilization centers for the field medical units (Nachrichten uber Verwundete und Kranke ausgegeben am 29./9. 1915, p.18).

In 1918, there was a  Miss Josefa Kiebusowna (Kiebus) from Przemysl staying in Wiener Neustadt, Nr. 135 (Wiener Zeitung nr. 263 (13 Nov. 1918).

According to a list of Soviet Red Army officers and soldiers buried in Racibórz (Poland, Silesian voivodeship), from 17 Aug.1947, among them was one Vladimir Ivanovich Kebus (Władimir Kiebuz or Volodymyr Kiebuz). He was born in 1900, and died 5 May 1945 from a diseased stomach ulcer. He served as a rifleman with the 285th regiment of the Soviet Red Army. The 285th Rifle Division was established at Kostroma in July 1941. Its men fought at Volkhov and Kattowitz. They were with the 21st Army of the 1st Ukrainian Front in May 1945. Kebus’ remains were exhumed from Racibórz, and transferred for burial to Kędzierzyn-Koźle, gravesite № 214. He left behind his wife Anna. Their address was 30, Aleksandr Dworski Street, Przemysl.

Mieczyslaw Kiebus worked for the Przemysl railroad circa 1939-1944 (Source: Mazur, Wladyslaw. Wyspy ostatniej nadziei. Rzeszow: Krajowa agencja wydawnicza, 1987, p. 60).

Stanislaw Kiebuz (b. 14 May 1900) attended the Polish Gymnasium in Przemysl beginning in 1916/1917. In May 1941 he was recognized as a Stakhanovite for his contributions at the 17th September Factory. He may be the same Stanislaw who became the 1st Secretary of the Central Committee of the Polish Workers’ Party in Przemysl in 1945. In 1944, he was active in helping organize postal telegraph and telephone workers (see: Tysiac lat Przemysla: zarys historyczny, vol. 2. Krakow: Panstwowe wyd-wo naukowe, 1974, pp. 479, 506), and in 1946 appeared on a list of persons appointed to exercise the duties of jurors for the District Court (Dziennik Rzeszowski v.2, no. 37 (9 Feb. 1946) . His residence was at 12 Sierakowski Street. He was also involved in the city’s dramatic societies. From 1947 he was the treasurer for the Teatr Zwiazkow Zawodowych im. J. Slowackiego. Stanislaw was also a member of the “Fredreum” Theater, a drama society named after Alexander Fredro that is the oldest amateur theater group in Europe. Aside from serving as its treasurer, he also performed with the troupe. In 1950 he acted in Damy i huzary,and in 1951 in Krakowiakow i Gorali. (Source: Felczynski, Zygmunt. “Fredreum” i inne teatra przemyskie w latach 1696-1960. Krakow: Wyd-wo literackie., p. 267, 279, 294-5, 301, and 337). He may have emigrated to Argentina.

In the main Przemysl cemetery are buried together (quarter 43, row 13, plot no. 2): Ludwik (b. 23 Sep. 1927), Zofia (b. 20 Mar. 1883 -d. 10 Nov. 1954), and Teodor Kiebuz (b. 11 Nov. 1881-d. 23 Dec. 1959). Zofia's maiden name may be Czekajlo. There is a couple with the names Theodor Kiebuz and Zofia Czekajlo who had a son named Jan (22 May 1915-11 July 1915). Their other son may be Marian Kiebuz (b. 15 Mar. 1919, Przemysl-d. 20 Aug. 1944, Loreto, Italy; buried in Monte Cassino, Italy).  He was arrested by the Soviet NKVD on 11 April 1940 for illegally crossing the border. He was incarcerated in a prison in Przemysl, and then transferred to Kirovgrad, where on 29 December 1940 he was sentenced and deported to a gulag camp in Ukhta-Chibyu. He was released in late summer 1941, and joined the Polish Army in Totskoye. He was a member of the 17th Riflemen’s Batallion.

Anna Kiebus (d. 21 Dec. 1979) is buried there too (quarter 11, row 9, plot no. 12).

Sielec

Kiebuzinskis from Sielec (near Krowniki) were of mixed Polish and Ukrainian nationality. 

They are descended from two Kiebuz lines, that of Ivan Kiebuz (b. ca. 1804, son of Andrei Kiebuz of Sielec), and Maria (Hanka) Kiebuz (b. 29 July 1808, daughter of Ivan Kiebuz vel Kiebuzinski and Maria Lohyn of Wilcze). Ivan and Maria were married in the bride's parish in the Greek Catholic rite on 27 October 1822.  Their children include:

Maria (Maryna) Kiebuz. Maria married Andrei Solhan (1844-1902, son of Fedir and Varvara Voitovych (Wojtowicz)). They resided at house no. 50. They had several children: Oles (b. 25 March 1866), Anna (b. 7 March 1869), Fedir (b. 21 Dec. 1871), and Julia (b. 2 Jan. 1878).

Anton Kiebuz (b. ca. 1841). Anton married Anna (Hanka) Zaluzhna (Załużna) (b. ca. 1847; daughter of Mykola and Evdokia Jarosiewicz of Krowniki) on 17 November 1867. Witnesses were Stefan Sydor and Iosyf Kiebuzinski (possibly my great, great grandfather), farmers in Nehrybka. Anton and Hanka were associated with address 14 at the time of their marriage. They were Greek (Ukrainian) Catholics. They had several known children: Ivan (b. 21 Oct. 1869), Volodymyr (b. 27 July 1877, who went by the name Władysław as an adult), Aleksander (15 Feb. 1886-Nov. 1966), Jozef (b. 7 March 1890), and Maria: 

• Volodmyr (Władysław) married Marianna Siudut (b. 7 April 1885, Verkhnii Luzhok; daughter of Paweł and Marianna Marmula) on 28 October 1905 in Strilky. They had five children who were raised in the Polish Roman Catholic rite: Helena Maria (b. 9 Oct. 1905, Strilky, Staryi Sambir district); Kazimierz (17 July 1907, Strilky (Strzylki), Staryi Sambir district-6 Apr. 1983, Ear Falls, Ontario); Anna (26 July 1913-24 Feb. 1994, Wrocław), Janina (20 Jan. 1915-26 July 1996, Wrocław), and Mieczyslaw (b. 1919, Olszanica, Lesko district-11 June 1941, Norillag).

• Kazimierz (Johan or John) Kiebuzinski identified himself as Polish. He and his father, Władysław, lived in Lviv, Ukraine, prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. Kazimierz remembered working as a chauffeur for some "lord of the manor" in Przemyśl when he was young (when he revisited Poland in the 1970s he traveled to Przemyśl believing that he would find family there). He was conscripted into the Polish Air Force upon finishing school. When the German army invaded Poland, he flew his plane out of the country into Romania. He made his way from Romania to Greece and from there to Marseille, France. In Marseille, he found a boat that took him to England where he and his escaped countrymen helped formed Polish squadrons within the British Air Force.

Kazimierz (John) was a fighter pilot at the RAF station at Northolt during the war. He was a member of the 303 squadron. On one of his sorties, he was shot down over the English Channel, but was picked up by the British Coast Guard. He recovered and joined the Polish 131 Wing with the invasion of Normandy, but was sent back to a British hospital to recover from his previous wounds.

While stationed in England, he met his wife, Gwyneth Rae Russell (b. 23 Oct. 1920, Streatham, London-d. 26 Dec. 2012, Ear Falls, Ontario) who was working at RAF Northolt as an aircraft mechanic. They married in Carshalton, Surrey, in 1945, and, sponsored by Rae's uncle R.A. Shelton, then immigrated to Canada in August 1948 via Montreal. They settled near Kenora, Ontario, where Rae had family (her grandmother, uncle, and aunt) who operated a tourist camp catering to American sportsmen at Snake Falls. Together, Rae and John, opened the Ear Falls Garage and Service gas station, and became very involved in the town of Ear Falls. They are buried at the township's cemetery.

After Władysław died in 1935, his brother Jozef helped his sister-in-law and nephew and nieces, Kazimierz, Helena, Anna, and Janina, relocate to Toruń. Kazimierz worked there as a mechanic and lived with his uncle at ul. Slowackiego, 51 (1936). He later moved to Bydgoszcz, where he lived at 7, Weyssenhoff Square. His mother, Marja Kiebuzinska, a widow, lived in Toruń at Stroma 7. Later, most of the remaining family moved to Bystrzyca Klodzka, near Wrocław. Helena Karasek (neé Kiebuzinski) had four children, one of whom immigrated to New York. John’s (Kazimierz's) sister Janina, who never married, immigrated to Canada with her two children. They moved to North Dakota. Mieczysław was detained by the NKVS in April 1940 trying to cross the Soviet Ukraine-Hungary border to return to his family in German-occupied Toruń. He was held in a prison in Stryi for three months and then sentenced on 24 June 1940 to five years hard labor in the gulag camp in Norillag. He died there. During the war, Janina resided in Yahilnytsya, near Ternopil, and Helena resided in Spas.

Mieczysław Kiebuzinski as a high-school student, 1939

• Aleksy (Aleksander, Alexander, Oleksa or Oles) Kiebuzinski (15 Feb. 1886, Krowniki-Nov. 1966, Bronx, NY) was the son of Anton Kiebuzinski and Anna Zaluzna (likely she went by the name Anna Maria or Maria Anna). Aleksy arrived in Halifax, Philadelphia from Hamburg, Germany aboard the Graf Waldersee on 2 April 1913. He was living in Sielec, Austria at the time of his emigration. He registered for the World War I draft in Middlesex, Connecticut.

His wife, Katarzyna (Kateryna) Kiebuz (10 Feb. 1890-Jan. 1980, Bronx, NY), arrived in New York City from Trieste aboard the Kaiser Franz Josef I on 30 Aug. 1913 under the name Kataryna Kiebudzinska (née Jarosiewicz), along with their daughter Yulya (b. ca. Mar. 1912). She identified herself and her daughter as Ruthenian. Her occupation was housewife. She listed her closest relative from home as being her mother Magdalena Jarosiewicz living in Pikulice. Her final destination was to meet her husband in Massachusetts. Her last residence was Sielec, Austria.

Alexander and Katharine went by the name Kibuzinski in the United States. They had five children, the first born in Poland and the others in the United States: Julia (ca. 1912, Sielec-6 Dec. 1931, New York City), Wladyslaw (Walter) (6 Dec. 1913, Ludlow, MA-23 Jan. 2012, Sherman, CT), Stephen (21 Dec. 1915, Bondsville, MA-10 Feb. 2005, Marlborough, CT), Mary (20/21 Oct. 1917, Hartford, CT-24 May 2003, Bronx, NY), and Wanda (14 Oct. 1919, Cromwell, CT-?). Alexander first worked for the a textile mill (the Boston Duck Co.) in Bondsville, Massachusetts. When Alexander registered for the World War I draft in 1918, the family was living in Cromwell, Connecticut (not far from Glastonbury where other Kiebus relatives lived). Alexander worked there as a florist for Pierson's Greenhouses. The nursery was founded by Andrew N. Pierson of Sweden in the 1870s and was the largest rose growing enterprise in the country.  By the 1930 U.S. Census, the family was living in New York City (East 11th Street, East Village). The census record indicates that the parents and oldest child were born in Poland and that Ukrainian was the language spoken at home prior to immigration. When Alexander applied for a U.S. Social Security number in 1936, the family was living at 248 Trinity Avenue, Bronx, NY. Alexander was employed as a tailor by Barney Pressman of the company Barney’s Inc., 111-115 7th Avenue, New York, New York, which was then a retailer of cut-rate men’s suits. Alexander’s sons changed their last name to Kirby. At the time of the 1940 U.S. Census Walter and Steve were working as mechanics for an aviation company, and Mary (who went by the surname Kay) was employed as a packer for a cosmetics manufacturing company. None of them had children of their own. This family is related to Kazimierz Johan Kiebuzinski. Alexander and Wladislaw (Kazimierz’s father) were brothers. Aleksy patented a grate for meat-smokers in 1919. 

Alexander and Katharine are buried in Ferncliff Cemetery, Hartsdale, Westchester County, New York.

• Jozef Kiebus (7 Mar. 1890 in Krowniki- ?). In the 1920s and 1930s he lived in Torun, Poland. He appears in the Torun address directories of 1923 and 1932 as living at ul. Piastowska, 9. In 1923 he held the rank of sergeant, and in 1932 that of a non-comissioned officer. By 1936 he had moved to ul. Slowackiego, 51. Just before the Second World War he was living with his mother in the village Spas south of of Staryi Sambir, in Lviv oblast. He was elevated to the rank of Field Lieutenant. During the war he was captured at Kampinow (near Warsaw) and held as a POW in Stalag II A, which was located near Neubrandenburg, Germany. He was interned there beginning 14 September 1939. From there he was transferred to Stalag XX-A in Torun (then Thorn) on 28 July 1940, and then on 26 November 1940 to Stalag XI-A near Altengrabow (close to Magdeburg) (Source: http://lwww.straty.pl). He died in Germany after the war ended. 

His wife was most likely Marta Wisniewska (30 Oct. 1898, Łosiny, Poland-28 Apr. 1975, Eagle Pass, Maverick, Texas). She was the daughter of Jan Wisniewski and Maria Gromsky. During World War II, while Jozef was interned, she first lived at the Zdroj boarding house on Solankowa Street in Inowroclaw (1939 Bydgoszcz telephone directory), and was then deported to the Third Reich, probably as a forced laborer. When the war ended, she remained in Germany, before immigrating to the United States via Bremerhaven, Germany, aboard the General Stewart, to New York City, on 9 Nov. 1949. Her destination was Champaign, Illinois. She traveled to Portugal and returned to New York via Idlewild Airport on 18 Nov. 1955. She petitioned for naturalization on 20 May 1955 in New York, NY. At the time she was residing at 44 West 77t St., NY, NY.  

Jozef and Marta had at least three children: a girl born between 27-30 December 1922, and twins, a boy and girl, born 27 August 1926 (see Slowo Pomorskie (6 Jan. 1923) and Tygodnik Torunski (11 Sep. 1926). One daughter, Regina (d. 19 Dec. 2009), married Eugeniusz de Georgel of Luck (Lutsk, Ukraine). They had one son. The son born to Jozef and Marta in 1926 was named Czeslaw. In 1955, the Czechoslovak Security Services entered him into their database of 'suspicious persons.' He was a citizen of Poland at that time (see: http://www.slobodnyvysielac.net/media/stb/k48.htm). Czeslaw died in Poland on 15 April 1986, and is buried in the cemetery in Bystrzyca Klodzka.

• Maria, sister of Władysław, Aleksander, and Jozef, stayed on the family farm near Przemysl.

He died, probably in battle, on 23 October 1915 (Verlustliste ausgegeben am 10./3. 1916).

The above family may have also had the following relative from Sielec: Iwan Kiebus (b. ca. 1877 in Austria). He arrived in New York City from Antwerp, Belgium aboard the Zeeland on 7 Feb. 1905. He was single and literate at the time. His nationality was identified as Russian. He listed his final destination as Philadelphia. His last residence on the ship manifest was declared Sielec, Austria. This may be the Jan Kiebuzinski (b. 15 Aug. 1879) who married Julia Smolan (b. 15 May 1886) on 21 November 1908 in Philadelphia at the St. Ladislaus Polish Roman Catholic parish, Nicetown. At the time of their marriage, Jan worked as a labourer and Julia as a housekeeper. They resided at 2049 Cayyga Street. They had at least two children: Victoria (b. 20 Dec. 1908, Philadelphia) and Laura Kiebus (16 June 1910, Philadelphia-d. Oct. 1982, Camden, New Jersey). Iwan (Jan or John) died tragically on 12 January 1912 when he was struck by a train at Wayne Junction Station where he worked. He is buried at the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. According to the 1920 U.S. Census, his daughters were living in Philadelphia Ward 38 with their mother Julia, and their Austrian-born stepfather, Mike Hyk.

Among the executive members of the Prosvita Reading Room in Sielec in 1910 was Stefan Kiebuz (Source: Peremyskyi vistnyk v.4, no.2 (28 Jan. 1910)).

Petro Kiebuz was active in the Ruthenian Sich Society in Krowniki (Source: Peremyskyi vistnyk v.3, no. 9 (30 April 1909) and v.4, no. 4 (25 Feb. 1910)).

Anna Kebus (Kiebuz) (b. 1891 in Krowniki-d. ?) immigrated to the United States, arriving in New York City aboard the ship Amerika from Hamburg on 12 July 1913 together with three other young women from near her village. She was age 22, single, and literate (read and write). Her nationality was identified as Ruthenian. She listed her closest relative from home as her father Wasyl. Her final destination was Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a large iron, coal, and steel town east of Pittsburgh. On 7 August 1915, she married Harry (Hryhorii) Fenczyn (Fenchen) (b. ca. 1883/1884) in Johnstown, Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Their wedding was officiated by Rev. John (Ivan) Shuchowsky) at the St. Nicholas Galician Greek Catholic Church. At the time of their marriage, Harry was working in the city's steel mills, and Anna as a domestic. Like Anna, Harry or Hryhorii was from the Przemysl area. He had immigrated to the United States in April 1910 with his wife and young son. This was his second marriage, as his first wife had died six months earlier, on 6 February. Anna listed her parents on the marriage license as William (Vasyl) and Anastasia Kybuz (nee Kochmar) (Kiebuz), farmer and housewife. Hryhorii and Anna had at least six children (the first three from his first marriage): John (Adolf) (b. 1909), Mary (b. 1911), Walter (b. 1913), Olga (b. 1916), Anna (b. 1918), and Myron (b. 1924). At the time of the 1920 census, they were living at 93 Seventh Street, Johnstown (Ward 11), Cambria County. They spoke Ukrainian (Ruthenian) at home. Some time between 1920 and 1924, the family returned to Galicia (now Poland), and settled in Przemysl, probably on property belonging to the Kiebuz family. There was born the youngest of the children, Myron. Probably faced with economic difficulties, Hryhorii returned to North America in 1927 to look for work. He was sponsored by Chester Allen van Scoy, a land agent for the Canadian Pacific Railway who was looking to colonize areas near Winnipeg, Manitoba. It does not appear that the family joined him. Following World War II, three of the children, Anna, Olga, and Myron either returned or immigrated to the United States.

Mykhailo (Michael) Kebuz (b. 1893, Krowniki) served as a corporal in the 6th Galician Uhlan Regiment (Emperor Joseph II's), in its Ersatz Eskadron during World War I. He was taken as a prisoner of war by the Russians at Chern, Tula province in late 1916 (Verlustliste ausgegeben am 16.11.1916).

Wilcze (near Przemysl)

From the Ukrainian Catholic sacramental registers for the Przemysl Cathedral and the parish of Wilcze we learn that there were a number of Kiebuz / Kiebuzinskis (names appear interchangeably) living in this suburban community.

It is possible that the oldest of this line, Ivan Kiebuz vel Kiebuzinski, was my great-great-great grandfather's, Oleksandr's, brother, and that their father was Semen who died in Przemysl in 1817.

The second Anna's baptism took place at the Ukrainian Cathedral. Mykola Kiebuzinski was a military veteran, home owner, and ran for the socialist party in the municipal elections for Przemysl, representing the Lviv District, in 1897 (Kuryer Przemyski 25 Feb. 1897). When his son Mykhailo was attending the Juliusz Slowacki Gymnasium in Przemysl, Mykola was listed as a retired railway official with the Prince Albrecht Railway, which in 1873 connected Stryi-Dolyna-Stanyslaviv. He may have also been involved in the railway development through the Lupkow Pass in 1872.

After the death of his first wife, Mykola remarried. His second wife was 2) Rosalia (née Binicka; 1 Feb. 1846, Stryi-25 May 1902 (of pneumonia), daughter of Vasyl Binicki and Marianna Serednicka Tomaszewska of Blonie). They were married on 21 January 1870 by Bishop Joseph Sembratovych, and resided at 31-33 ul. Sienna (today ul. Gen. Zygmunta Zielinskiego). The family maintained close ties with the city of Stryi, and lived there in the mid-1880s.

Ivan Kiebuzinski (26 Feb. 1871, Przemysl-16 Apr. 1906) is presently buried in Przemysl city cemetery. At the time of his death, of heart trouble, he was a seminarian in the Ukrainian Catholic Church. His last address was 33 ul. Sienna, Lwowskie district. 

The 1877/1878 directory of the Institute for the Deaf in Lviv, lists among its first year students one Jan Kiebuzinski. This student may be the  same person buried in the Przemysl city cemetery. (See: Sprawozdanie o stanie gal. zakladu gluchoniemych za rok 1877/78 (Lwow, 1878), p. 7).

Mykhailo (Michal) Kiebuzinski (10 Nov. 1872-5 Jan. 1939) attended the Higher Real gymnasium in Stryi (1884/85), and the Polish gymnasium in Przemysl (from 1887), from which he graduated in 1893. He lived with his father at ul. Lwowska, nr. 420.  Afterwards he studied law. He then worked for postal-telegraph offices in Lviv (1897), Przemysl (1898-1899), Jaroslaw (1900-1902), and again in Przemysl (1903-1914). He married the widow Konstantyna Demczak Misinkiewicz (b. 22 March 1870; the late Ignacy Misinkiewicz, a carpenter (d. 30 Jan. 1913)) in Przemsyl on 9 September 1914. Mykhailo served as executive member of the Society for Merchants and Commerce in Przemysl (Source: Peremyskyi vistnyk v.4, no. 11 (25 Feb. 1910). He donated funds towards the establishment of a private Ukrainian school to be named after Markiian Shashkevych (Peremyskyi vistnyk v.5, no. 6 (11 Aug. 1911). During World War I, Mykhailo’s political orientation was conservative, and he aligned himself with the pro-monarchist Hetmanite movement.  He was arrested by Polish authorities in Przemysl in 1918 (Source: Reprint of article “Visti z kraiu-Peremyshl” in Holos z-nad Buhu, no. 1 (1 Mr. 2010)), following the seizure of the city by Ukrainian forces in early November, during which Kiebuzinski was charged with overseeing the city's postal and telegraph bureau. He was interned as a prisoner of war at Dombie from 1918 to 1919, along with some 6,000 to 12,000 other Ukrainians.  At the time he was a city controller (or accountant), and identified as a well-known Ukrainian patriot (Source: The Bloody Book: Returns Concerning the Invasion of the Poles into the Ukrainian Territory of East-Galicia, in 1918/19, vol.1, p. 50). After the war and revolutionary period, he returned to work for the postal and telegraph service, and was stationed in Bochnia (located between Krakow and Tarnow) in 1923, before being transferred back to Przemysl (Source: Dziennik Urzedowy Ministerstwa Poczt i Telegrafow, 1923, p. 551). Mykhailo became a member of the Ukrainian National Democratic Society (UNDO), and took part in the city’s district council meeting of 1932. He ran unsuccessfully for municipal elections (District III) held in Przemysl in May 1934 (Ukrainskyi beskyd, 34 May 1934). Mykhailo was a member of the Society of the Ukrainian Peoples' Home, and served as assistant director of its executive from 1935 until circa 1938 (Peremyshl i peremyska zemlia protiahom vikiv z instytutsii. Peremyshl-Lviv, 2003). His obituary noted that he had been a member of many other local and regional Ukrainian societies, among them a number of local savings and loan associations. and had served on the board of the Society of the Ukrainian Girls' Institute. He was credited with founding the Prosvita society branch in Błonie, a neighborhood of greater Przemysl, to which he donated property. (Nadsianska zemlia 2 (4) (1939). 

Iosyp (Osyp or Jozef) Kiebuzinski (27 Dec. 1873, Przemysl-12 Sep. 1929, Stryi; godparents: Ivan Tsok and Kateryna Kiebuzinska) attended the Ukrainian section of the Polish gymnasium in Przemysl from 1891 to 1893, from which developed a separate Ukrainian gymnasium soon after. He completed Przemysl Ukrainian State Gymnasium only in 1897. He began teaching at the Stryi gymnasium in 1905, followed by assignments at the Arcyksiezniczki Elzbiety Gymnasium in Sambir (1906-1909), the gymnasium in Sokil (1909) and at the Polish Gymnasium in Ternopil (1910-1913). In Sambir he taught history, and the Latin, German, and Ukrainian languages; while in Ternopil he was responsible for history and geography, and the German and Ukrainian languages. Iosyp returned to Stryi in the 1913/1914 school year, teaching history and geography, and also served as the director of the Shevchenko Ukrainian Bursa, a dormitory home for out-of-town students. 

Iosyp Kiebuzinski was a refugee in Vienna during the first World War (he lived at Theresianumgasse 1.10.), and taught privately there from 1914 to 1918. After the war, he returned to teaching at the Stryi State Gymnasium.

Iosyp Kebuzinskyi (2nd row: center),

director of the Ukrainian branch of the Stryi State Gymnasium (June 1921)

In a memoir of a Stryi Gymansium student, the author mentions how Prof. Kebuzynskyi’s name characterized the man himself: “he would come to class with various colored shoes, and mis-buttoned jackets” (Source:Stryishchyna: istorychno-memuarnyi zbirnyk, vol.2 (Niu Iork: Komitet Stryishchyny, 1990), p. 471). Despite this unfavorable description, when Iosyp died, at age 56, his funeral, held on 14 September 1929, was attended by all the teachers and students of the school, as well as by representatives from other academic institutions. He was memorialized the following day at two masses held at the Roman and Greek Catholic churches (Source: Sprawozdanie dyrekcji Panstwowego gimnazjumi im. Marszalka Jozefa Pilsudskiego w Stryju za rok szkolny 1928/29).

Volodymyr (Vladimir or Wlodizmierz) Kiebuzinski (b. 29 July 1875; godparents: Iosyf Musial and Kateryna (wife of Semen) Kiebuzinska) from Przemysl settled in Ternopil with his new bride, Rosalia (née Sawirska, daughter of Thomas and Catherine (née Kot), b. 19 Oct. 1885 in Przemysl). They had wed in their home city, Przemysl, on 20 February 1906. They moved in to no. 5, Copernicus place.

Ostrogskiego, 24 (1913), and then at ul. Walowa, 3 and 4 (1926-1937, the street was renamed ul. Brucknera). In 1920 he contributed money (350 Polish marks) to support local Ukrainian widows and orphans of veterans of World War I (Source: Svoboda (5 Feb. 1921)). He moved to Kutno (north of Łódź) just before the Second World War and was listed in a 1941 directory as working there as a potter. He and his wife had at least three children:

Irena studied at the "Ridna shkola" Ukrainian Gymnasium for Girls in Lviv from 1932 to 1937. For her political activities, she faced repressions during the Second World War (Source: Pryvatna divocha gimnaziia "Ridnoi shkoly" Ukrainskoho pedahohichnoho tovarystva imeni Illi ta Ivanny Kokorudziv u Lvovi (Drohobych: Vidrodzhennia, 1997), p. 272). Mykhailo, Irena, and their three children, immigrated to Argentina. Prior, they were living as displaced persons in Austria, probably near the town of Hehenemes, and then in Fribourg. They arrived aboard the ship "Groix" in Buenos Aires by way of Le Havre on 7 December 1948. Mykhailo by profession was an engineer.They settled in the neighborhood of Longchamps in Buenos Aires.

Ivan Kiebuzinski, a Ukrainian and likely the son of Volodymyr, was a manufacturer and merchant of tile stoves in Ternopil during the 1930s (Source: Konrad, Stepan, ed. Shliakhamy zolotoho Podillia (Philadelphia, 1960), v.1, p. 96, v.3, p. 282).
