Hi Greg In 1900, Wola Lubecka was in Pilzno administrative district, Pilzno township/gmina, and Lubcza Parish. Pilzno is one of the oldest towns in this area of SE Poland and its settlement probably predates the Kingdom of Poland. Before the amalgamation of several West Slavic tribes forming the Polish nation, this was at the very frontier of the Wislanie Tribe who, earlier for a time, were allied with the state of Great Moravia. In 1000-1300 AD, Pilzno was the site of a Benedictine mission whose purpose was to convert and educate us heathens. Your ancestors and mine probably attended Holy Mass together there (today, Saint John the Baptist Church) in the days before the widespread establishment of parishes. But while my ancestral parish in Straszecin north of Pilzno was established around 1275 AD, Lubcza Parish south of Pilzno was founded in 1626. The revered geographic dictionary, Slownik Geograficzny Krolestwa Polskiego, has an entry for Lubcza in Volume 5, page 394. It can be accessed online. The address for Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish: Najswietszego Serca Pana Jezusa 33-162 Lubcza 39 Podkarpackie POLAND However, there is little or no reason to write to the parish. The Church of Latter Day Saints has microfilmed the parish records and they are available for you to view at a local Family History Center for a small fee. The original parish records for the period of about 1779-1923 are on LDS #1956070, 1956071, and 1956072. These were filmed at the Diocese of Tarnow in 1994. Civil transcriptions of the parish records for the period of 1801-1870 are on LDS#949124. These were filmed at the Polish Archives in Warsaw in 1974. There you go. Piece of cake. Easy as pie. Good luck with your research!
