Generation No. 2 2. ANDREW3 PIECHOROWSKI (JAN JOHN2, LUCAS1)1 was born November 04, 1814 in Jadowniki, Posen - Prussia - Poland2, and died January 27, 1893 in Terre Coupe In2. He married MICHAELA SELERZYNSKA3 October 24, 1843 in Brzyskorzystewko, Poland4, daughter of WALERIAN SELERZYNSKA and MARIANNA SELERZYNSKA. She was born Abt. 1825 in Brzyskorzystew, Posen - Prussia - Poland4, and died December 01, 1887 in Terre Coupe In4. Notes for ANDREW PIECHOROWSKI: 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 Gogó³ka). Where did he come from Kcynia, ¯nin Góra, 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 1 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, that’s 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. Pozdrawiam Krzysztof Additional Research JFP 10-8-2004 LDS Film 1191252 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.

Notes for JAN PIECHOROWSKI: [Piech~52.ftw] Jan was the first Piechorowski to come to this country. Oral History states that he came from Poznen, however, if we look at that part of Europe at that time frame, Poznen was a province of Prussia. If someone said "Poznen" at that time frame they could have been talking about either the City or the province. The marriage certificate issued to Jan and Emelia at the church in Slupy on October 28, 1874 states that Jan was the "OVITIO" or Sheperd from
