 April Warnick - Nebraska  - USA

My great grandfather (by marriage) was Felix Kieltyka. He lived his entire life in Nebraska. His parents were Stanislaus and Anna from Poland. He had 3 brothers, Peter, Frank and Jacob. And a sister named Anna who married a Sobush in Illinois. Felix passed away in 1992. He worked all his years as a hard laborer for the Union Pacific Railroad. He never had children of his own.

I've been trying to find out about my ancestors and I found some interesting information. For example: there used to be a land in Germany that was named 'Land of Kieltyka' (in translation) that used to belong to my ancestors. I also found out that my ancestors travelled (many, many decades ago) from South America to Italy and then further into Europe- Germany, Poland ( I'm not sure where they were before South America- that's the furthest I could get so far but I'm digging deeper!)

I wish you the best of luck with finding as much about Kiletyka's as possible :) Magda

I'm not sure where exactly the land in Germany was - I remember my grandfather telling me about it when I was younger but I never took a note of it. I will contact my family members and try to find out about it some more and I'll you know if I come across something interesting :) .The link that you gave me- with the surname meaning and origin- I must say really surprised me. Actually, the word 'Kieltyka' doesn't mean anything in Polish (it's like the surname Smith in English- doesn't mean anything, it's just a surname). They say on that website that 'kieltyka' means 'swinger', but it doesn't really- it's not even close. I'm not sure where they got that meaning from but I've never heard anything like that :) I'm originally from Poland and I speak Polish. I moved out from Poland 6 years ago. I went to study in the UK and then to do my master's degree in Sydney. Last March, after I finished my degree in Australia, I came back to the UK to work and live here. So that's in short about me :)

I'll be trying to find out as much as I can about Kieltyka ancestors and I'll be glad to share everything I find out with you :)  It will be a very interesting journey into the past :)

From Marta Kieltyka - France
 "je suis polonaise 100% mais je ne vis plus en Pologne depuis 10and environ.
mes parents sont Piort Kiełtyka et Elzbieta Kieltyka (avant de marriage Jarosinska) ils sont tous les deux nes en Pologne et ils vivent la bas. Mon grand pere (de cote de mon papa) s'appelait Józef Kiełtyka il a passe la 2eme guere mondiale en France - soldat dans l'armee francaise. Il vivait a Metz en France il me semble ses cousines (peut etre les enfants aussi - mais on a pas de preuves ) sont restes en france, lui meme est rentre en pologne et la bas a fondu la famille d'ou je viens. Il etait ne et mort en pologne. Sa femme Czeslawa (Leczycka avant le mariage est de Luck - Ukraine en ce moment, pologne avant la guerre".
Moi meme j'ai fait un peu de recherches il y a quelques annes car je suis persuade que je peux retrouver ma famille proche en france... malheureusent je n'ai rien trouve. mon grand pere est mort depuis 10ans je crois, la famille n'as pas de photos, ni de contacts avec ceux qui sont restes en france. En pologne non plus je ne connais pas de famille de cote de mon grand pere...


("I am Polish 100% but I no longer live in Poland since about 10and.
My parents are Piort Kiełtyka and Elzbieta Kieltyka (before marriage Jarosinska).
They are both born in Poland and they live down. My grandfather (my dad's side) was called Józef Kiełtyka, he spent the 2nd world war in France - soldier in the French army. He lived in Metz in France it seems to me his cousins ​​(maybe the children too - but we have no proofs) Stayed in france, he himself went back to poland and downsized the family from where I come. He was born and died in Poland. His wife Czeslawa (Leczycka before the wedding is from Luck - Ukraine at the moment, poland before the war ".
I even did a little research a few years ago because I am convinced that I can find my family in France ... unfortunately I have found nothing. My grandfather has died for 10 years I believe, the family has no photos, nor contacts with those who remain in france. In poland either I do not know a family who can be from my great father ...)

Jerzy Kieltyka - Belgium 2012 18 Nov

I am Belgian from polish origine, the third generation in Belgium.
My grand parents went in Belgium to work in coal mines: they wanted to earn some money quickly: their aim was to buy more land in Poland. But, they stayed in Belgium after the second World: they didn't want to come back in a communist Poland.
I am linguist speciallized in slavonic languages. My elder daughter, Alexandra, is student in History at Liège University and my son, Jérôme, study Medecine at the Catholic University of Louvain.
I am interested by the history of the emigrated Kieltyka all over the world. So, if you could tell me your part of this story, I'd be glad.

I am writing a book on the polish emigration in the world. It is not a biography, it is in one( or more) book a compilation of stories that were or are real to show to our children where do their roots come from and the difficulties of their ancesters to build a better world for them. Trees and flowers do not grow without roots: it is the same for young people. And the angle to "attack" this big work is the Kieltyka's familly. If you could help...

Maria Fernanda kieltyka - From Irati/Pr?Brasil Living in Kraków, Poland 2012 05 Nov

"Muito interessante tudo isso que você está fazendo. Eu queria mesmo poder saber mais, mas com essa história de briga de familia, infelizmente eu nunca tive nenhum contato com os kieltykas além do meu pai, e ele me contou poucas historias, não do que ele sabe sobre a origem da familia, e sim historias caseiras, pois pra falar a verdade ele não se interessa nisso :((
Meu pai se chama Mario Kieltyka. Acho que o nome do meu avô era Cassimiro Kieltyka, não lembro o nome da minha avó".
