[The life of Ludwik Rydygier in a village of Grabowo]

There have been a few biography notes concerning Prof. Ludwik Rydygier's personal life, as well as professional record. Most of them has concentrated on study period and following professional activity. On the other hand, there is very little information concerning his childhood and first years of his elementary education. The name of Grabowo has been quite recently found as location connected with the great surgeon. Rydygier's family had been living there about 22 years. Grabowo was a place of birth and baptism of the six of the surgeon's younger brothers and sister. From Grabowo Ludwik Rydygier was leaving to schools and for the university.
