Michał Tymiński (born 1740; ~ 1816-1824 Andryjanki) was an 18th-century Ruthenian Catholic (Greek Catholic/Uniate) priest of the Diocese of Volodymyr-Brest who served in the Bielsk region of Podlachia in the late Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth(b.1740).[1]

Biography

He was ordained to the priesthood on 17 November 1781 by Bishop Symeon Samuel Młocki, bishop of Volodymyr-Brest. Following his ordination, Tymiński served as vicar of the church in Andryjanki, in Bielsk County, from 17 November 1781 to 19 March 1784.

On 5 July 1793, he was presented to a benefice by fr:Franciszek Piotr Potocki, Starosta of Szczurowice, indicating his advancement within the ecclesiastical structure through noble patronage, a common practice in the late Commonwealth.

By 24 January 1796, he was serving as priest of the church in Andryjanki in the Bielsk district. A contemporary ecclesiastical evaluation described him as: “irreproachable in Ruthenian tradition and church law, sincere in conduct, and diligent in worship and the instruction of parishioners.”[2][3]

This assessment reflects his standing within the diocesan clergy and suggests he was regarded as a competent and respected parish priest. He was the grandfather of Herman Tymiński,[4][5] 2th great-grandfather of Brunon Tymiński,[6] and the 3th great-grandfather of Danuta Siedzikówna[7][8][9] and Wiesława Korzeń.[10]
