He married my grandmother Mary, they had 2 children Joseph and Lorraine. My father Joseph Gembala married Jean Arlene Willisch Gembala and my parents had 4 children.... Joseph Gembala (now has two children Virginia and Joseph), Mary Helen, Margaret and Mary Beth (me). My great grandfather owned a saloon, does anyone out there know about this saloon?? Obviously Zach Zuzalek is a distant cousin of mine via Katarzyna Zuzalek Kubajec Warcholak.
anyone who is a Gembala, Gebala or Gibala needs to go to this website. I do not know if I will ever have the time to verify the information on this site, but I do know that my great grandfather Frank Gembala came from Osiek Galicia and this information fits with the Gibala's that moved from Czech Republic- Pavlovice to Poland.

The surname Gibala is an original Moravian surname, which was created from the original Kejbala or Kejbalik. These original surnames were changed into more forms: Gybalik, Geybalik, Gebalik, Geybala, Kybalik, and Kejbalik.
If this information is correct my families surname originated in the Pavlovice area before they moved to Poland.
In the Central register of the inhabitants of Czech republic, I found two men with surname Gebala. I haven't studied this surname yet. I know only, that both of Gebala from the Czech Republic came from southern Poland, around the Oswietim area. This place is very close to the original occurrence place of Gibala in Poland. I may be that surname Gebala was derived from surname Gibala, about the year 1850. There is a very probablility, because Pavlovice's dialect spelling of the surname Gibala is Ge'bala.
In Poland, I have found a two-origin area of occurrences of the surname Gibala (Rzeszow area, Czaslaw area). Both of these places are in the part of Poland that was called Galicia, which was under the Austria Empire after the first division of Poland in year 1772. I think that the Gibalas went to Poland after the Napoleon Wars in about the year 1815. I haven't documented an occurrence of surname Gibala in Poland before year 1825 yet. I have tracked some Gibalas, who went from the Pavlovice area in about the year 1815. According to my knowledge today, it is very probable that surname Gibala was created in Pavlovice and that all of Gibalas from around the world came from Pavlovice.
One of the older forms, the surname Gibalik, was in Pavlovice registers of births and deaths even after year 1770. The surname of the same person was written in more than one form (Gibalik, Gibala, Gebala). I have found surname Gibalik only in Pavlovice ( latest in census records from year 1910). It may be that,after moving away from Pavlovice members of Gibalik family used surname Gibala or Gebala.
