Where We Are Today
At latest count, there are approximately 700 Dubiel
residences in the United States. This includes household
with both published and unpublished telephone numbers.
Michigan leads the way with 74 residences. The rest of the
top 15: New York (71), Illinois (58), Connecticut (55),
Massachusetts (48), New Jersey (43), Wisconsin (41), Ohio
(39), California (33), Florida and Pennsylvania (31 each).
Where we are not: The following states did not list any
Dubiel residences: Alaska, Delaware, District of Columbia,
Kentucky, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah,
Vermont, and Wyoming.
Where Did We Come From?
As acknowledged before, we came from Poland. I don’t have
access to data telling us which specific Polish provinces
produced the greatest number of Dubiel immigrants. However,
the 1990 Polish census tells us that there were 8,722
Dubiels living in Poland. While it appears that slightly
more Dubiels live in the southeastern part of the country,
they are in fact distributed widely across the whole
country. The Polish provinces (as constituted in 1990) that
had the largest Dubiel populations follow: Katowice (1760),
Krosno (856), Krakow (600), Rzeszow (571).
These numbers roughly parallel the overall distribution of
Polish-Americans in the United States.
