Poles belonged to the parish in Sinyava. Instead, there was a Greek-Catholic parish of the Yaroslavl Deanery of the Przemysl Diocese in the village, there were 2300 parishioners. The reason for this was that the majority of the population were Ukrainians (old name Rusyny).Greek Catholic There were two schools: 1-class and 2-class.

"Before World War 2, people of different ethnic and religious groups got along very well and a lot of intermarriages took place. Holidays were celebrated together following the Julian and the Gregorian calendars. Some smaller towns had only one church, most likely Ukrainian Orthodox or Catholic and the village people took turns having the services there. All this changed after WW2 in Communist Poland." -Vlodia Zalusky

The report issued today by the German Main headquarters states: North of the Upper Vistula the troops commanded by Colonel General von Woyrsch repulsed Russian attacks against the positions we captured on Monday. The defeated Russians yesterday attempted to arrest the pursuit by the allied armies on the entire front between the San, north of Sieniawa, and the Dniester marshes. In the evening, after hard fighting, the Russians were everywhere thrown out of their positions near Cieplice (north of Sieniawa), south of the Lubaczow-Aawdow sector (south west of Niemirow), west of Jaworow, and west of Sadowa-Wisznia. The pursuit is proceeding. The army of General von Mackensen has captured since Saturday over 40,000 prisoners and sixty-nine machine guns. Between the Dniester marshes and Zurawno the Russians gained some ground, but the general situation there is unchanged." The Guardian (London, Greater London, England) 17 Jun 1915, Thu^[10]

"After the World War I and unsuccessful struggles for independence, Galicia ended up being in Poland again. Ukrainian Galicians underwent polonization and discrimination during these years. One could not get a state employment if he would not become Polish Roman Catholic." ^[11]

1939 - 1945: Cieplice, Lwów, Distrikt Galizien, Polen "The Second Polish Republic, established in 1918, existed as an independent state until 1939, when Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union destroyed it in their invasion of Poland at the beginning of World War II. Millions of Polish citizens perished in the course of the Nazi occupation of Poland between 1939 and 1945 as Germany classified ethnic Poles and other Slavs, Jews and Romani (Gypsies) as subhuman. Nazi authorities targeted the last two groups for extermination in the short term, deferring the extermination and/or enslavement of the Slavs as part of the Generalplan Ost ('General Plan for the East') conceived by the Nazi régime. A Polish government-in-exile nonetheless functioned throughout the war and the Poles contributed to the Allied victory through participation in military campaigns on both the eastern and western fronts. The westward advances of the Soviet Red Army in 1944 and 1945 compelled Nazi Germany's forces to retreat from Poland, which led to the establishment of a communist satellite state of the Soviet Union, known from 1952 as the Polish People's Republic." ^[15]

"Polish translation Anastasia Moroz information about the murder of Ukrainians in Wołczastym, set out in the "Jarosławszczyzna and Zasiannia" 1986. (...) On Saturday, 3 March 1945 numerous Polish gang attacked our hamlet - Wołczasty. Bandits first came to us, because our cottage stood at the entrance to the village. As he told my brother Ivan, one of the bandits, the finca in hand, he ordered everyone to lie on the bed. Ivan managed to escape, but the gunman had shot the whole family - the father Mykola Hysi, my brothers - Petra and Vasil and his sister Eve HYS. All this happened in front of my mother, sitting behind the stove. Gunman shot her four times, but somehow missed. It was not until the fifth bullet smashed face and knocked his teeth.

We all still remember how during the export of the Ukrainian population of our land there for Rudka, in Katy, Polish bandits intercepted 6 carts of deportation and the poor did not come from there is no soul. (...) Until now, years later, I remember the counts of the Roman Catholic priest of Teplice, which defined the number of Ukrainians who were murdered in the vicinity of Teplice over a thousand and that they buried in the local cemetery. These did not include 75 Ukrainians, Poles are shot in the same Teplice. Jarosławszczyzny Ukrainians have to pay a high price for their national individuality." Robbery Wołczasty - Teplice hamlet , in M. Siwicki, history of Polish-Ukrainian conflict , Vol. III, Warsaw 1994, p. 228.

"Meanwhile, the dispersion task proceeded, first in Rzeszow palatinate, then in Lublin and Cracow palatinates. In the four months which followed 28 April 1947, the Operation Group moved some 140,660 individuals identified as Ukrainians from southeastern to northern and western Poland. Just as the first round of evacuations and deportations had removed about 75 percent of the Ukrainians remaining in Poland in 1944 - 46, Operation Vistula resettled about three-quarters of those who remained in 1947.82 Operation Vistula perfected tactics used in Operation Rzeszow. Soldiers would enclose a village and seal off the area to prevent UPA intervention, then a military or security services officer would read a list of names of those to be resettled. Those identified as Ukrainians were given a few hours to pack, and then relocated to intermediary sites. If men tried to escape when the army encircled the village, they were shot. In general men moving about during the operation were likely to be shot. In some cases Polish soldiers shot men in flight, only to find the “P” for “Pole” in the German identity documents in the dead men’s pockets. Members of households where men were absent were tortured in order to locate UPA soldiers. Several villages were burned as their inhabitants watched.83 Vistula was distinguished from Rzeszow by the more complicated role played by the security services, since Polish authorities were now charged not only with deportation but also with a complex resettlement inside Poland. The final destination and degree of dispersal of groups was determined by the judgment of intelligence officers, whose colleagues were waiting to receive their instructions in sealed envelopes at the end of the line." ^[16]

"The village burned WW2. After WW2 The inhabitants of Teplice were resettled in settlements of Ternopil, Lviv, Drohobych, Stanislav, Kharkiv, Poltava, Odesa, Mykolaiv, Volyn. For example, the Ternopil region: the city of Terebovlya, the village Borichivka, Lozivka, Loshniv, Ginkivtsi and others. I Of the only Teplice in 1945-46 , 2,091 persons were taken (482 families)----- Many families are resettled in Oles'ka region of the Lviv region (Oles'ky, then Zolochiv district) in September 1944 by the decision of the rural lore (testimony by Anna Karhut). In particular, these are the families of Shehda, Duda, Fedirko, Karhut, Pisechko, Zin, and others. The rest of Ukrainians in 1947 were deported to the former German lands aquired by Poland." ^[17]

After WWII, ethnic Ukrainians who were displaced in Germany could not return to their home of Cieplice, Jarosław, Lwów, Polska, as Poland's new communist government did not allow it. Many went to the USA, Canada, England, France or Ukraine (among other places.)

1945 - 1975: Cieplice, Rzeszów, Rzeszów, Polska. "As a result of territorial adjustments mandated by the victorious Allies at the end of World War II in 1945, Poland's geographic centre of gravity shifted towards the west and the re-defined Polish lands largely lost their historic multi-ethnic character through the extermination, expulsion and migration of various ethnic groups during and after the war." ^[18]

1975 - 1998: Cieplice, Jarosław, Przemyśl, Polska. "By the late 1980s, the Polish reform movement Solidarity became crucial in bringing about a peaceful transition from a communist state to a capitalist economic system and a liberal parliamentary democracy. This process resulted in the creation of the modern Polish state: the Third Polish Republic, founded in 1989." ^[19]

1999 to Present: Cieplice becomes a part of Gmina (community) Adamówka, Przeworsk County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship (also known as województwo podkarpackie in Polish.) "There are still dozens of wooden houses of prewar time left, military cemetery of the First World War, located halfway between the Teplitsy and Adamivka. Condition - unobserved, without tombstones." (Ukrainian Wikipedia)

"Lemko group of Ukrainians who occupied the mountain area of current south-eastern Poland did not live in Cieplice area. The people living in Cieplice and along the San river, known as Nadsiannia, did not speak the Lemko dialect. They were referred to as Rusyny (previous Ruthenians), attended Ukrainian Catholic or Orthodox churches, and observed all the Traditional Ukrainian holidays." - Vlodia

Genealogy Research

If your family was from Cieplice, but they are not listed in the records, it is important to refer to the image above which shows you all the nearby Roman Catholic, Greek Catholic and Synagogue for the area in 1900. Just as there are many non-Cieplice families who have married or baptized their children in Cieplice, it is safe to assume the same for Cieplice residents marrying or baptizing in another nearby church.

Spelling variations: I have noticed while transcribing records that Ruthenian/Ukrainian surnames letters G, H, B and O, Y, I, U are used interchangably. Which is correct since they are converted from Cryillic to the Polish alphabet? Also consider the name conversion after they left their country to the United States or Canada, as there is no conversion for some letters in the Polish alphabet to the English alphabet (or the language of their destination), only phonetic improvisation. Please view the page which lists all the common Ukrainian surnames in Cieplice, their variations and Cyrillic.

When you look at the transcriptions for Wikitree profiles, where you see what appears to be a "T" in the middle of a name, it is the Polish letter "ł". In transcribing to profiles the letter "T" was used. What I have seen from those migrating to the United States the "ł" simply became "l" (lower case L); although there are many transcribing errors to the letter "t".

The links for records below can be accessed from the Archiwum Panstwowe w Przemyslu/State Archives located in Przemysl: https://szukajwarchiwach.pl. The records are not indexed by surname, only by village. Directions on how to navigate these records can be found here courtesy of familysearch.org. "Opinion: Any records for those villages which are over 100 years old are now in the Archives in Przemysl. The Archives only digitized a scattered assortment, for which they probably had some grant money. When the money ran out, so did the effort. And nothing further is happening with it. It's not a work in progress."

Township announcements written in Ukranian/Ruthenian. Link to Cyrillic/Ukrainian/Polish/Nicknames birth names that appear on the records. The profile manager understands that Cyrillic would have been converted to Polish version. In order to separate in the index who is Polish and who is Ukrainian; the profile manager used their respective ethnic versions of first names. Please keep in mind for migrating ancestors, you will see different variations of the first name.(ex: John, Jan, Iwan, Ivan.)

(Transcribed)"= Those who have already some interconnection with other families entered to Wikitree, thus connecting them to the "Wikitree One Tree". I was primarily focused on marriage records, and records between 1870 to present, which will help researchers find their connection. From the marriage announcement book, I transcribed marriages that were not already entered. If a total record was excluded (no connection found in Wikitree) it was placed in the Cieplice House Number Study.

Greek Catholic (Ruthenian) Births: (For Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic mixed marriages the general rule followed was that child would be baptized in the same religion as the parent of the same sex. Warning that while doing transcriptions, often times the mother's mother's maiden name is incorrect (at least 10%, after verifying against a marriage record. It could be a new married name. Another thing, you will often see where the parents named a child after a previously deceased child. Lastly I need to verify, but it appears that if a child's father died prior to the birth they were automatically listed as illegitimate.)

Roman Catholic (Polish) records

• The Priest who lives next to the church at Cieplice holds the Roman Catholic records for both Cieplice and Rudka. (as of 2019)

• Sieniawa was the designated community for Roman Catholics from Cieplice. Although you may find records in nearby Lezajsk, Majdan Sieniawksi, or Tarnawiec Roman Catholic Churches.

• Roman Catholic Church baptisms in Rudka: http://www.skany.przemysl.ap.gov.pl/show.php?zesp=2309&cd=0&ser=0&syg=1

• "The Roman Catholic records are more dfficult to find, because they are still stored in 1) local parishes 2) local vital offices or in 3) Archdiocesan Archive in Przemysl (if you mean central part of the former Galicia) - generally closed for all, but open for befriended paid researchers. The situation is different with Greek Catholic records. This church, today known as Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church was banned in communist Poland and new formed Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic after 1945, their vital records (books) went to Vital Offices and State Archives. As you know, we can browse a lot of Greek Church records from Historical Lviv Archive (mostly microfilmed by LDS Church and available at familysearch) and National State Archive in Przemysl. Przemysl digitalized and make open online source for most of Greek Catholics records stored in their archive."

Immigration:

• Immigration to the USA: https://www.familysearch.org/ Enter Cieplice in the residence field. I have added a One Place Study for these individuals. I did omit names I could not recognize, as well as some married females. I continue to add individuals as I find them, as often times the village is misspelled in records and I stumble across them when searching a specific name.)
