Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the content of a nineteenth-century memoir written by Piotr Fryś. This document is the resource for studies of family history and of a broader social context related to the growth of a small town in Galicia. Based on new archival research, previously unpublished biographical data concerning maternal grandfather of Piotr Fryś, Franciszek Wilczek, who became a mayor of Andrychów, and his children are provided. The confirmed and suspected connections between the individuals mentioned in the diary and the events of the Spring of Nations are discussed. The life stories of some descendants of Piotr Fryś are briefly described. The original text of the memoir also provides the insight into a local vernacular spoken in small towns in Galicia, situated near the border with Austrian Silesia.
