This video material was recorded, from September 1998 - September 1999, thanks to a Fulbright Fellowship and support from Jagellonian University in Poland. The geographical region here is known as the Podhale, and the subject is the gorale (mountain people, or highlanders) of southern Poland.
This film documents the world where my grandmother, Caroline Hajnos, came from as a Polish immigrant -- a place and culture I knew absolutely nothing about.
After recording this material on Hi-8 videotape (over 100 hours), I could find no support or interest in it when I returned to the U.S. So I eventually gave up. Over the years, with the recent digital age, and opportunities on the internet, I was able to finish it and perhaps I can find an audience for this material.
I've been trying to upload a better quality video to you tube, but it literally takes days and the upload, for some unknown reason, fails.
The original videotape has deteriorated and subsequent edits in other videotape formats engender weakened visual quality with each tape generation. Then, uploading this to youtube, more visual quality has been lost. With no resources to improve the film, this is the best I can do for now.
The group of singing young women who are a foundation of much of this film are named "Podhalanie," from the village of Ludzmierz. They were preparing for a singing competition in Bukowina Tatranska called "Sabałowe fairy tales."
Subjects include: Immigration. Ethnography. Genealogy. Anthropology. Sociology. Social Change. Tradition. Documentary. Podhale. Poland. Highlanders. Gorale. Hajnos. Rogoznik. Bialka. Nobliski. Nowobielski.

TŁUMACZENIE POWYŻSZEGO TEKSTU NA JĘZYK POLSKI (za pomocą komputera):
Ten materiał wideo został nagrany w okresie od września 1998 do września 1999 dzięki stypendium Fulbrighta i wsparciu Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego. Tutejszy region geograficzny znany jest jako Podhale, a tematem są górale południowej Polski.
Ten film dokumentuje świat, z którego moja babcia Caroline Hajnos pochodziła jako polska imigrantka - miejsce i kulturę, o której nie miałam pojęcia.
Po nagraniu tego materiału na taśmę wideo Hi-8 (ponad 100 godzin), po powrocie do USA nie znalazłem w nim żadnego wsparcia ani zainteresowania. W końcu się poddałem. Z biegiem lat, z niedawną erą cyfrową i możliwościami w Internecie, udało mi się go ukończyć i być może uda mi się znaleźć odbiorców dla tego materiału.
Próbowałem przesłać film lepszej jakości na You Tube, ale trwa to dosłownie kilka dni, a przesyłanie z nieznanego powodu kończy się niepowodzeniem.
Oryginalna taśma wideo uległa pogorszeniu, a kolejne edycje w innych formatach taśm wideo powodują osłabienie jakości wizualnej z każdą generacją taśmy. Następnie, przesyłając to na youtube, utracono więcej jakości wizualnej. Nie mając środków na ulepszenie filmu, to najlepsze, co mogę teraz zrobić.
Grupa śpiewających młodych kobiet, która jest podstawą większości tego filmu, nazywa się „Podhalanie” ze wsi Ludźmierz. Przygotowywały się do konkursu śpiewu w Bukowinie Tatrzańskiej pt. „Bajki sabałowe”.

"Jom górol, jeno nie tatrański, a taki hamerycki." Yes, this is exactly how I remember my ancestral village when I emigrated out in 1991. It is very though life, but I love remembering it. Also, it helps to get the right perspective when things seem difficult. Now, I settled in Washington state (from Chicago and Michigan) and I am in my beloved mountains again.

I live in Chicago. My father was born here but both of his parents were from this area. My grandmother was from Szaflary and arrived here 1899 at 16 along with two girlfriends. My grandfather was from Ciche/Chocholov and came here in 1901 after serving in the Austrian army. In doing research I also found many cousins from Maruszyna. My grandparents were married in Chicago in 1902. I don't know if they knew each other back in Poland but my feeling is that they did. After 20 years of doing research I have built up a sizeable family tree. Great video! These are amazing people. Now I know why I enjoy working in the yard so much...thanks for doing this.

Yours is an interesting story. I've been to most of the villages you mentioned and videotaped in their vicinities. My grandparents were also married in Chicago. You're lucky to have the family tree. I knew nothing about my Polish heritage until I went to the Podhale. On my grandfather's side, I can now trace the Podhale lineage to the late 1500s, although all I have is names of people, no other information of any kind.

A very commendable film, which realistically portrays the daily life of the Tatra highlander in Podhale. The film emphasizes the agricultural labor performed with great efforts without latest machinery. It is good that the film does also show how the highlanders celebrate special holidays , weddings, births, and other customs.In addition the filmmaker presented the beauty of Podhale with its views of the rocky , alpine, Tatra mountain..

How far into the past do you want to go?... the history of "Podhale" is even more fascinating when going back into the 10th century... and 17th... etc... And also it would be interesting to go back to Rogoznik... Krauszow... etc. today... such a change... Podhale is great!!!
@rocktheclock240
@rocktheclock240 10 месяцев назад
Thanks for your comments. I can only go back as far as my great grandfather and great grandmother on my grandmother's side. On my grandfather's side, I've been able to trace back to the 1500s, and this is because he's in a Polish genealogy book that documents families that had permission from the king back then to use land in the area ("soltysich"). That line of my ancestry had permission to graze around the famous mountain lake, Moskie Oko. Unfortunately, there is little in English that addresses Polish genealogy. Yes, the Podhale is a fascinating place.

My mom came from a tiny village on the other end of Poland near Ostrołęka and the Kurpy people. Dad was from the Lithuanian end of Poland near Suwałki in the lake district which is probably why I have a Lithuanian last name. I was there 50 years ago but I can still smell the freshly cut snopki in the fields. What I remember most fondly is that EVERYONE was extremely hospitable, friendly, and happy and everywhere we went there was heaps of deliciousness! When we visited mom's village (Suchcice) all her cousins and family friends (pretty much all 50 people in the town) threw a 3 day long party. Góralu czy ci nie żal?

I think I've been to all those villages. I tried to go everywhere in the Podhale during my year there. One day, I was wandering around Nowy Targ and a little bookstore had a (then) new book on display about genealogy in that area. I was stunned because my maternal grandfather was noted in that volume, as the last of a family line known in Poland. (He moved to America). I bought 2 copies of that big fat book and it noted names and marriages of my maternal grandfather's family line going back to the late 1500s. I was thrilled to discover information I never knew.
