Dear JewishGenners:

This time, I offer the following information for purely informational, genealogical purposes.  There is certainly no profit to come of this.  The Court ruling in this case has reached a brand new level of absurdity…

The January 20, 2023 edition of the Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza carried a legal notice from the Regional Court of Włocławek, First Civil Division, announcing a ruling by the Court to the effect that the Court has permitted one Mateusz Dróżdż to deposit with the Court the royal sum of one grosz (about one-quarter of a US cent!!) as security for title to a property designated in the land register as KW WLIW/00105080/5, Hip. 2 which is registered as the property of five individuals of whom two appear to be Jewish:

Kasryel (Katriel) RYDEL and

Leon GŁOWIŃSKI

about whom no other details are given.  A review of information available on JewishGen provides two clues:

It appears that the RYDELS and the GŁOWIŃSKIS were related:  Members of the two families married during the 19th century in the town of Stryków;

There is some information that points to a RYDEL connection to Paris, France.  There is a Parisian RYDEL on the Family Finder.  There is also a Yad Vashem entry of someone taken from Paris to Poland during the French deportations.

Given that all of one-quarter of a penny is at stake, even a postage stamp would be a loss for a potential heir.  All the same, should someone wish to contact the Court in this matter, please make reference to Docket No. I Ns 620/22.   The ”deposit” will be available for a period of three years from the date of the notice.

Best wishes,
