Lisa,
Welcome to the blog. Your link to the shoemaker page (in Polish) was an interesting link, thank you very much. I recommend the link to other Shoemaker’s ancestors!

Both my Polish great grandfathers, tho from different towns in Poland were shoemakers also. I was researching this and found your blog. I did find this one other site about the shoemakers’ guild

You can put it in Google Translate to get a translation into English

I have a photo of a statue in the 110 year old church of Przedecz, where one of my great grandfathers is from, that represents the profession of shoemaker. I don’t know how to post an attachment to this stream but if anyone is interested in it, please email me.

Hello MaryAnne,
Welcome to my blog and thanks for your kind comments. Please do let me and also Donna P. know if you find anything else about Polish shoemakers or their guild. I am glad I could be of help. When I wrote this I thought the article to be rather narrow and only of interest to me, so I am pleased to get two comments from genealogists who have shoemakers in their family tree.

Hello Mike,

I just happened to be surfing the net to see if there was “any” info about Polish Shoemaker’s. I happen to have several in my family line and it got me to wondering if I could find any information about them. Your site and Poster is the most interesting info that I have come across, but I will keep looking. I’ll let you know if I discover anything!

http://pastprologue.wordpress.com/ Blogger and well known genealogist: Donna Pointkouski, asked where I got the above image. My answer was by rummaging through the Polish Digital Archives that are online.

The above image on Cechu Szewskiego (Shoemaker’s Guild) came from the Digital Library of Greater Poland in Poznan (http://www.wbc.poznan.pl/dlibra).

Thanks for the question Donna!
