Józef Aleksander Puchała, senator - kasztelan Królestwa Polskiegi i jego potomkowie
Jozef Aleksander Puchala Senator - Castellan of the KIngdom of Poland and His Descendants in the Beginning of the 20th Century

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to reconstruct the genealogy of the Puchala family branch related to the Lublin Region. The Puchalas came from Mazovia and the first member of this family who formed ties with the Lublin Region through marriage and purchase of land was Jozef Puchala. This figure is still relatively poorly known despite of being inter alia the chairman of the Civil Tribunal of the Lublin department and the senator castellan in the Kingdom of Poland. The analysis of this family’s history allows to think that its members were conscious participants of political as well as social and economic life in Poland in the period after the Partitions. Public activity and patriotic attitude during insurrections prove the high moral and intellectual merits of the family members. They married with members of well known and respected families in the Lublin Region: the Suchodolskis, the Wybranowskis, the Szlubowskis, the Rulikowskis, which indicated their growing prestige and position among the manor nobility.
