Thanks for this information, Mary. I do have the manifests for the arrivals of Antoni, Wladislaw and Stanislaus Gizara. Biecz and Brzyska are only 8 miles (13 km) apart, and Gizara is (I believe) a relatively rare name in Poland. I have heard it suggested that Gizara may have been originally an Italian name (possibly Gissara). So I wonder if the Gizara families of Biecz and Brzyska are related?
