Testament Jana Śliwki z 1873 roku
Jan Śliwka’s Last Will of 1873 Jan Śliwka (1823–1874) was a teacher, reporter, author of textbooks, presbyter of the evangelical Church in Cieszyn and also one of the leading Polish nationalist activists in the district of Cieszyn Silesia. The present article contains an edition of a valuable source to Jan Śliwka’s biography which up until now has been unknown to scholars. The source in question is Śliwka’s last will which was drawn up on 23 June 1873 and is currently to be found in the State Archive in Cieszyn. The source may also be used in research on the mentality of the Polish intelligentsia of peasant origin belonging to the Augsburg evangelical church. It also gives one an idea about the quality of the Polish language used by the graduates of the evangelical high school and the six-week teacher training course in Cieszyn
Dwadzieścia lat później. Datacja „urbarza cieszyńskiego z 1621 r.”
The urbarium of the ducal estate of Cieszyn (Teschen), known in the literature as the ‘Cieszyn Urbarium of 1621’, has not survived in the original but only in a copy from 1653. The urbarium records a certain Adam Matloch, who purchased land in Marklowice in 1644, which provokes the question of whether the data in the urbarium reflect the state of 1621. A detailed analysis reveals the complexity of the information of this urbarium and suggests the method of preparing the copies of this type of source – with updates taken into account and deleted fragments omitted. It turns out that, contrary to its common name, the urbarium is a compilation of entries from 1621 to 1643, with the majority of entries reflecting the state of affairs from c. 1640.Urbarz cieszyńskiego klucza dóbr książęcych, funkcjonujący w literaturze jako „urbarz cieszyński z 1621 r.”, nie zachował się w oryginale, ale jedynie w odpisie z 1653 r. W urbarzu został odnotowany Adam Matloch, który nabył grunt w Marklowicach w 1644 r., co każe postawić pytanie, czy zawarte tam dane oddają stan z 1621 r. Szczegółowa analiza odsłania złożoność informacji zamieszczonych w tym urbarzu, a także metodę pracy nad sporządzaniem odpisów tego rodzaju źródeł – gdzie uwzględniano aktualizacje i pomijano fragmenty skreślone. Okazuje się, że wbrew utartej nazwie urbarz stanowi kompilację zapisów z lat 1621–1643, a większość wpisów oddaje stan z ok. 1640 r
Uzupełnienia do biografii Michała Dzierżanowskiego (ok. 1722–1809)
Addenda to the biography of Michał Dzierżanowski (around 1722–1809) The present article contains rectifications and addenda to the biography of Michał Dzierżanowski, a famous adventurer and one of the leaders of the Bar Confederacy. In all likelihood, he was born around the year 1722 and not 1725 as has been assumed in the literature up until now. After he had enlisted in the French army, he was subsequently taken captive by the English in April 1744 while on his way to Flanders (earlier on, this event was reported to have occurred around the year 1744). It was confi rmed that in the years 1753–1754, he had served in the French army in India, where he was promoted to the rank of commander of the village of Chalambaram; it was also confi rmed that in 1761 he had visited Spain. Michał Dzierżanowski died on 25 March 1809 and not in 1808, as had been assumed earlier. The accounts of Claude-Carloman de Rulhiere and Henryk Rzewuski concerning Dzierżanowski’s foreign adventures prior to the year 1764 had also been partly verifi ed. Further research should bring about successive addenda to the biography of this adventurer
The Relationship Between Religion, Language and Nationality Using the Example of Village Mayors in Cieszyn Silesia in 1864–1918
Cieszyn Silesia in the “long nineteenth century” is widely regarded as an excellent laboratory for
research on the formation of nations. The region was inhabited by three language/national groups
(Poles, Czechs, Germans) and denominational groups (Catholics, Protestants, Jews). Basing my research on an analysis of a group of village mayors (vogts) in the period 1864–1918, which included
1,332 such officials, I attempt to determine whether there was a relationship between linguistic (ethnic) affiliation, religion and political views (supported national movement) in Cieszyn Silesia

Genealogy of the Jastrzembski (Jastrzębski) House, a Middle-Class Family from Cieszyn, from the End of the 16th to the Beginning of the 20th Century
The article presents the genealogy of the Jastrzembski family from the end of the 16th century to the beginning of the 20th century. According to the chronicler Alois Kaufmann (1772–1847), it was one of 19 bourgeois families living in Cieszyn since the Piast era (the Cieszyn Piasts died out in 1653). The family’s most notable representatives were Henryk (1812–1881), a painter who was born in Jablunkov (Jabłonków) and died in Třinec (Trzyniec), Rudolf (1782–1859), the city cashier of Cieszyn, his son Ryszard (1839–1908), a photographer in Cieszyn, and the sons of the latter: photographers Karol (1877–1952) from Cieszyn, Ryszard (1879–1944) from Komorowice, and Wilhelm (1884–1933) from Dziedzice
