Its member was blessed Fr. Ludwik Roch Gietyngier living in the frst half of the twentieth century. There is no publication on his family, so this study, analysing the history of four generations backwards, shows the history of this family’s progenitors and is thought to be a trigger to a biography of blessed one from Żarki. As the result of historical analysis, it was determined that this faily coming from Hungary, has its origin in Polish area from Franciszek and Józefa Gietyngier, living in at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Napoleon (French emperor) and connected with him situation in Europe had great infuence on the history of this family. Probably because of it, Fransiszek Gietyngier, serving in the Austrian army, deserted and settled down with his wife in Siewierz in New Silesia (1806-1808). Here two their children were born and Franciszek started a military service in Polish Hussars, formed on French payment by Jan Nepomucen Sułkowski. This family settled down in Żarki, where their two daughters were born. However in 1813, as the result of marching through the town full of Napoleon’s soldiers and following them Russian army, the epidemic of typhus broke out. Then Fransiszek and his three children died of this illness. Only Józefa and little son Antoni (later great-grandfather of blessed Fr. Ludwik Roch Gietyngier), stayed alive.plAttribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/pl/Ludwik Roch GietyngiergenealogiaksiążętabłogosławienikapłaniduchowieństworodybiografiaJan Nepomucen Sułkowskiksięgi metrykalneNowy ŚląskSiewierzŻarkiNapoleon Bonapartegenealogyparish register booksNew SilesiaprincesblessedpriesthoodclergylineagesbiographyArticle
