Remarks

Alexander Janta writes in the article Early XIX. Century American Polish Music. in The Polish Review (Vol. 10, No. 2, Spring, 1965, page 65f) that an Ablamowicz, Mrs. D (ominik) was listed in the Louisville Directory 1851/52 by John B Jegli . She was a music teacher and lived on the South Side of Jefferson Street. He also refers to M. Haiman and his font Ślady Polskie w Ameryce. He mentions a Polish French teacher Dominik Ablamowicz in Montgomery , Alabama . to this he puts Mrs. D (ominik) Ablamowicz in relation as a widow or wife. He justifies it with the spelling of her name. According to the rest of the sources, however, it is likely that it is about the native Englishwoman Anna Maria Ablamowicz, who was also a music teacher in Louisville at this time.
