Wacławikowie – ród chłopskich „zapiśnikarzy” ze Śląska

Abstract
A number of peasant notes from the 18th and 19th centuries, whose authors are called “Cieszyn folk writers” (cieszyńscy piśmiorze) or “note takers” (zapiśnikarze), have been preserved in Cieszyn Silesia. In recent years, this phenomenon has been most extensively discussed by Janusz Spyra in the study: Historiografia a tożsamość regionalna w czasach nowożytnych na przykładzie Śląska Cieszyńskiego w okresie od XVI do początku XX wieku (Eng. Historiography and Regional Identity in Modern Times on the Example of Cieszyn Silesia in the Period from the 16th to the Beginning of the 20th Century). This article brings minor factual supplements to the mentioned study. The author discusses the fate of “writers” from the Wacławik family. They were Andrzej (d. 1777) from Pielgrzymowice in Prussian Silesia, his (presumed) son Jerzy (d. 1780, 1792 or 1793), a cotter in Pielgrzymowice, and his grandson Paweł (1768–1850), who settled in Cieszyn Silesia (first he lived in Zamarski, later in Hażlach). Particular emphasis was placed on genealogical issues.
