Galicyjsko-lodomeryjska linia Vincenzów
The Galician-Lodomerian Line of the Vincenz Family

Summary/Abstract: Baczyński offers a contribution to the biography of the Polish writer Stanisław Vincenz (1888-1971). Drawing on sources such as parish records, documents produced by Austrian authorities in Galicia and source publications from the period, he presents a part of the writer’s genealogy in as much detail as can be determined at present. The earliest piece of information about Karol Vincenz, an ancestor of Stanisław, dates from 3 April 1786 and can be found in the parish register of the Catholic Church in Lviv. Baczyński portrays a few ancestors and relatives on the writer’s maternal and paternal sides. This information sheds light on genealogical motifs in Vincenz’s work, especially in the tetralogy Na wysokiej połoninie [On the High Uplands].
