Conclusion Table of contents 3 4 Preamble This is a small manual for the younger generations, so that they understand where they come from, and those who are interested in transgenerational psycho genealogy. It is not meant to be read in one day, it refers to various periods. We are all the fruit of our history and for some of us, we must draw further than in our own history. The idea came to me when I got interested in genealogy. At first I thought we were the only ones in the world named PALUBNIAK (by the way, the basic meaning of iak is small), which seems to be the case in France, but after some research, it didn’t seem to be right. Now I am French, because I was born in France, although it took a court judgment to confirm this, being born of a Polish father and a mother born in France of Polish origin. When we go backwards in our genealogy, we can see that our ancestors come from Nowica, in Poland in the region now called Małopolskie (small Poland). We will see that this has not always been the case, for in the course of history the land of the village of Nowica has often changed its nationality and its inhabitants have often been called different names. It is necessary to start from the sources and proceed methodically, for the story is not very simple. Today, everyone knows that the history of Central Europe is very complicated. A lot of questions arise, so it was necessary for me to do some research, collect all the ideas and see how it all began. This is certainly not a History textbook, others have done it very well already and it is thanks to them that one can know history, it is just a small guidebook about the origins of the BRENIA, PALUBNIAK family and some others. For this purpose, a few friends are to be thanked, such as PALUBNIAK STANISLAS, a fifth-degree cousin living in Poland near PRZEMYSL, PAUL STEVE BRENIA, the son of a fifth degree cousin who lives in Los Angeles, USA, and who greatly contributed to reconstruct the branch of our grandmother and grandfather, as well as PALUBNIAK MARIUSZ and his children, our cousin from our father's half-brother, and finally MICHEL PALUBNIAK for his travels in Poland and Ukraine. And also many thanks to Mr. Copy and Mrs. Paste, the legitimate children of the Internet. Our history is closely linked to that of Central Europe and Poland, even if most of us have become French or American, Australian, German, South American or whatever. 5 A short summary of what will follow for those who do not want to go into details The land of the present Poland, where our origins lie, was populated by Polgarians. That was 3,500 years BC. Then, the Indo-Europeans (a term that is only a linguistic fiction) came to say that they were the Walachians and the Venedes. First the Walachians, coming from Romania, peopled this land and were assimilated to the Slavs. They come from the Thracians, the Dacians and the Illyrians (ex-Yugoslavia). We are in 1500 BC. Then came the Venedes, which are Indo-European populations and will disappear with the arrival of the Germans, the Vandals and the Goths. We are here from 1500 to 200 BC. The Venedes are the ancestors of the Slavs. Of course, all these people have mixed in the course of history before we come in the year 800 AD to the Poles of the North who are from Polane tribes (inhabitants of the fields or people of the plain). The Vislanes were a Slavic tribe settled at least since the seventh century in the region of the upper reaches of the Vistula (today's small Poland). By the ninth century, the Vislanes had created a tribal state whose main centers were Krakow, Wislica, Sandomierz and Stradow. They constituted the most powerful and numerous tribe of what later became Poland. So, in a nutshell, for salon discussions: Polaris -> Wallachians -> Venedes -> Slaves -> Vislanes -> Polish (with variations). Then in the next chapters we shall deal with the different groups of Poles -> Galicians -> Ruthenians -> Lemkos, but you will need a little patience. 6 Chapter I - Deep Origins through time (Prehistory) This is a long time ago: short legendary genealogy Noah Sem Cham Japhet At the very beginning, Noah had three sons, one was called Shem; he took the lands in the East. The other was called Cham and took the middle ground. Finally the last one was called Japhet and took the lands in the North and South-West. After the collapse of the Tower of Babel and the confusion of languages, Russia belonged to Japhet with the western and northern countries where the Slavs settled along the Danube. In turn, Japhet also had three sons, Ghazi, Turk and Alp. They were beautiful and strong, but they finally fought and the war between Ghazi and Turk broke out. This war ended with the victory of Turk, who nevertheless decided to leave his native land and to go north, where he settled near a large river. Alp was a hercule who could move mountains and raise a horse with one hand. One day, he went to distant lands, he lost himself and could not find the way back. Then he went to the river and met a tribe speaking a language similar to his own. He chose his wife there and stayed with that tribe. Alp had two sons and he did not know how to call them. Suddenly clouds appeared, it was cold and the children began to scream. Alp tried to calm them down, but the children continued to cry. Then Alp thought they were not crying for nothing. Obviously, they had to be given names. Alp took counsel with his wife and they named them, one was named Bulgarian, and the other Burtas. The children of Alp grew up like hercules, and later founded two cities. Each son was the founder of a people. In the beginning, they spoke the same language, and then their languages started to diverge. This is the subject of the shortened legend. Clearly, it presents the ethnic origin of the modern Tatars, where the ancestors seem to be Turks, Bulgarians and Burtas. As Crimea is topical, we have the origin of Crimean Tatars which as we can see come from many places. The Tartars were also at the origin of the word Tartars. A beautiful picture shows the descendants So much for genesis... 7 Now, to be more serious this is how it was 3,500 years ago. THE POLGARIANS Proto-Polgarians are Indo-European Pontics. Around 4000 BC, their cavalry troops infiltrate the Rubanese of Poland, thus creating the culture of Malice (4000 / 3500 BC). The Rubanese or "peoples of the Rubanese linear ceramic" are a branch that separated from the northern Ascetica of the north (Körös) about 4800 BC / 5900 BC. From the beginning of the Neolithic era, Asianic peoples are known to have spread to a large part of Europe and south-west Asia. The term Asianic was used to refer to populations in Europe, the Near and Middle East, who were neither Semites nor Indo-Europeans. The development of agriculture, livestock, ceramics, and the cult of women and bull in the Fertile Crescent is attributed to the expansion of Asia. Of all the Rubanese, those of the Tisza Valley (called Oriental Rubanese or "Tibiscins / Tiszoïdes") are the ones who have been the most influenced by the painted ceramic peoples of the Balkans. Their civilization is divided into several phases: -Szatmar / Alföld (4800 BC / 5900 BC): protolinear pottery engraved and grooved then incised with dark on light red. The dead are buried with the legs bent to the left, heads to the east or to the southeast, in ovoid pits containing ocher, near the houses. -Tiszadob and Szakalhat-Lebö (4500 BC / 5500 BC): breeders of goats and sheep with incised-inlaid or paste-like pottery under the influence of Vinca -Tisza / Theiss (4300 BC / 5400 BC): cattle breeders returning more and more to the hunt and using pottery with pasty paint. 8 As early as 3600 BC, a group of proto-Polgarians headed south, crossed the Czech Republic and settled in northern Hungary (Tchitcharovce and then Csöshalom-Oborin culture). Around 3450 B.C, they founded the cultivation of Polgar (the beginning of the work of copper, the use of undecorated red pottery and then dotted-furrowed). They seized Thuringia (Gatersleben) and Hungary (Tisza-Polgar and then Bodrogkeresztur) by mingling with the Eastern Rubanese and the Lengyelian Pelasgians (Lengyel 4-5-6).
