The Wapaniki

Apparently this is a stone making place and there was something of this sort in Nogowschuetz, as well.  Here a note from Christoph Sottor in that regard:

In Nogowczyce gab auch kleine Fabrik ähnlich zu diese "wapiennik".Es gab Köhlerei und Pottaschesiedebrenerei.Köhlerei das sin Ofen zu verbrennung des Holzes so das entsteht Holzkohle. Diese Holzkohle wurde im Vorwerk in Nogowczyce in grossen Kesseln gekocht und so wurde Pottasche(Kaliumcarbonat) gewonnen.Pottasche brauchte man zu Produktion von Seife,Glas,Farben und Backpulver.
Diese Fabrik in Nogowczyce gab in der I Hälfte von XIX Jh. aber ich vermute das gab diese schon vor Ende des XVIII Jh.
Holz gab genug.Im XVIII Jh. Nogowczyce das war Dorf fast im Wald.
Ich vermute das diese Fabrik gab schon ab ca.1780.Im Juli 1777 Nogowczyce wurden durch Orkan völlig zerstört und alle Wälder rund um Nogowczyce sind gefallen.
Üblich war das damals auch Dorfbewohner dürften was verdienen nicht nur beim Arbeit im Wald (Gaststätte in Nogowczyce hieß "Waldman`s Ruh") aber auch durch abgabe Asche aus verbrannten  Holz zu Hause.Kohlereien und Pottaschebrennereien gab oft in Dörfern im XVIII und I Hälfte XIX Jh.

Nogowczyce Visit

We went to Nogowczyce which is a small town in the parish area of Jaryszow.  This is the town where my ancestor, Eva Palus was born.  And the records of the parish of Jaryszow, as my regular readers surely know, were destroyed towards the end of the 2nd World War in the year 1945.  As a result, I have struggled to find information about my families and thus I created the "Jaryszow Reconstruction Project."  And having done this, I have found lots of information and this trip was very much centralized on this project as I went to the archives to get what I could to continue my work on this growing project. 

I have found relatives in Nogowczyce from the Palus family and we connect, back a ways, but we connect, we have the same DNA and so you see, it's good to meet and come to know your family.

Here is the little "chapel" of worship in Nogowczyce.  I am not sure how these work and I will need a Catholic person to explain this to me, as it is not a church.  It's tiny and has a little schrine and bell and that's about all that I could see.

The new name/the old name.  This is done quite often in this part of Poland, showing German names, which I like a lot!

A little countryside view.

And yet another...

Taking a walk to grandfather Palus' farmhouse.  This is Sylwia and Dominika.

Getting to meet the neighbors in the hood!  Including Bossy, of course!

Enjoying a little conversation with Alicija and Dominika in Nogowczyce.

Saying goodbye!
