When I can verify this information to be true, then there would exist a relationship between Pavlovice area and the Napoleon Wars. Before the Battle of Three Emperors (2.12.1805 by Austerlitz - Czech Slavkov) Russian army Tsar Alexander came to Austerlitz from the north around Lipnik over Becva river, Olomouc and after the battle this army returned back the same way. Many of the Polish nobility members served in the Russian army at this time. Towns Prerov and Lipnik there are on empire road from Wien to Galicia, which was built between 1780 and 1790. By this road went not only Russian army but all trading contacts with Galicia. Along this empire road was built Nord railway of Ferdinand about 1850. It may be a contact between the Pavlovice area, the Rzeszow area, and the Napoleon Wars. More Gibalas went away from the Pavlovice area around the year 1810. More here. I found in the Rzeszow area more surnames, which were in the Pavlovice area before the year of 1800, for example: Gallas, Chrobak, Tomczik, Petras. All of this information testifies that Gibalas really could have came to Rzeszow area from Pavlovice.

Now more dates about the Blazowa's Gibala's:
John Gibala, my grandfather, his two brothers, and two of his sisters immigrated to America from Blazowa, Poland in the early 1900's. Their parents and one sister, whose name is believed to be Maria, stayed in Poland and never immigrated to America.

John Gibala (3-6-1887 to 11-29-1968) was the youngest of the five Gibala children. His brothers and sisters came to America when he was 14 years old. John immigrated around the year 1901. He initially settled in New Market, New Hampshire, where he is believed to have met his wife, Helen Adamczyk. John Gibala later moved to Benton, Illinois where he remained for the rest of his life. John and Helen Gibala had five (5) children that lived to adulthood. My father, Edward Gibala (born 6-8-1923) was the youngest. Helen Gibala died soon after my father was born. John Gibala remarried and had three more children.

Antonia Gibala (2-6-1869 to 17-9-1963) was the oldest of the five Gibala brothers and sisters that came to America. Antonia immigrated to America about 1911 with her husband Paulus Mnick (Mnich) and eight children. Antonia was over 40 years old when she came to America. The family lived for a time in western Pennsylvania before also moving to Benton, Illinois. Paulus and Antonia Mnick had two more children before Paulus died in 1919. Antonia spent the rest of her life in Benton living only a few blocks from her youngest brother John Gibala. Incidentally, Antonia's second child, Katie Mnick Mayeski (4-12-1893 to 19-5-1965) and her husband John Mayeski raised my father Edward after his mother died. My father went by the name of Eddy Majeski while in school.

Charles (Casimir) Gibala (d. 1929) settled in Livonia, Michigan after immigrating to America. He had three children.

Thomas Gibala (1875 to 15-11-1910) settled in New York City after immigrating to America. He had at least three children before he died in 1910.

Agnes Gibala (d. 21-1-1950) settled in Pennsylvania after immigrating to America. She had one child by her first husband Francis Petros. The Petros name appears on the baptismal record for Antonia Gibala, so Francis Petros was likely from Blazowa, Poland also. Agnes Gibala Petros later married a Barnett and had six more children.

I do not have any information on the parents of the five Gibala children who immigrated to America other than their names, Pauli Gibala and Maria Zabek. The parents of Pauli Gibala were Bartholomei Gibala and Catherina Driepak.

My note: Pauli Gibala and Maria Zabek were born about year 1850 in Poland and Bartholomei Gibala and Catherina Driepak were born about 1825 in Poland. I believe that the father of Bartholomei Gibala was born in Pavlovice area. First name of this Gibala family was very similar as first name of Gibalas in Pavlovice area, Thomas (Tomas), Anthonia, Agnes, and Maria.

Czaslaw area :

Now story about Gibala coachman:
The farest I can go back is to Czaslaw to my great-great-grandfather who was the coachman for the area nobles. I can't recall his name grandma used to talk about thim all the time but that was years ago. He was in the uprising probable around 1846. He was met by the pheasants and they checked his hands. As his hands were smooth and not rough because he was a coachman and didn't work in the fields they thought he was nobility and they beat him and dug a swallow grave and put him in it and covered it and gave a shovel to an old man and told him to watch and if he moved to finish him off. The landlord wife happen to be coming by from Dobczyce saw old man and asked him what he was doing there with that shovel. My gggrandfather heard her voice and he recognized it and started screaming for help and he moved. The old man jumped to strike my gggrandfather and the landowner wife screamed for him to stop. She pushed the old man out of the way and dug the grave open with her bare hands. There was her coachman Gibala and that is where I come from.

I have heard about more Gibalas coachmen from this area. In this Gibala family there were coachmen.

Izidor Gibala was born in Czaslaw-Wielicka *8.5.1879. Izidor Gibala worked as grinder for Thonet Company. He was killed during WWI. Izidor Gibala was the unmarried son of Josephina Gibala. She was born around the year 1855 in Poland, around the Czaslaw area.

I am thinking that there exist a relationship between the Pavlovice area and the southern Poland area. So strong was the relationship that I haven't known any case of direct immigration from Pavlovice area to America. Reasons for this were that many of immigrants from this area moved to southern Poland, where they had some relatives.
