Lucjan Mostowiak (Witold Pyrkosz) is Barbara's husband. He proposed to her in 1960, when she broke off her engagement to Zenon Łagoda (despite her pregnancy with his child). Lucjan and Barbara married, and he raised daughter Maria as his own. He has three more children: Marta (born in 1970), Marek (born in 1977) and Małgorzata (born in 1980). Lucjan was in a car accident where Hanna Walisiak's parents were killed, but Hanna became their daughter-in-law when she married Marek. In 2013 it was learned that he had a sister, Hanna Mostowiak, thought to be killed during World War II. Her granddaughter, Jane Buford, came to Grabina from the US to obtain money to cure her ill sister. Lucjan lives in Grabina with his wife, son and grandchildren, and enjoys playing chess with his friend Włodzimierz Kisiel. In 2014 he did not accept Małgorzata's divorce from Tomasz Chodakowski and her planned remarriage to her first husband, Michał Łagoda.

Barbara Mostowiak (Teresa Lipowska), born in 1940, is Lucjan's wife. The most beautiful girl in her village, during the late 1950s she was engaged to Zenon Łagoda. When Barbara became pregnant and told Zenon, he demanded that she have an abortion. She refused, and Łagoda went to the US a few weeks before their wedding. In 1960 Lucjan Mostowiak, who always loved her, proposed and they married. Barbara gave birth to her daughter, Maria, on 24 December 1960; Lucjan raised the girl as his own, and Barbara decided not to tell her daughter about her biological father. The Mostowiaks have three other children: Marta (born in 1970), Marek (born in 1977) and Małgorzata (born in 1980). In 1984, their first grandchildren (twins Piotr and Paweł, sons of Maria) were born. In 2001, Zenon Łagoda returned to Poland and wanted to meet his daughter. When Maria (who was pregnant) learned that she was not Lucjan's biological child, she gave birth to her daughter prematurely and Marysia died a few hours after her birth. In 2002, Barbara and Lucjan lived with Małgorzata for six months before moving to Grabina with Marek and his children. In 2008, they became great-grandparents when Kinga Zduńska gave birth to Magdalena. One of her granddaughters, Barbara Rogowska, is named after her (Barbara saved Basia's life when she was kidnapped from the hospital after her 2009 birth). Barbara has no known siblings.

Paweł Zduński (Rafał Mroczek)[5] is the son of Krzysztof Zduński and Maria Rogowska, born in 1984. He has a twin brother (Piotr), a deceased sister (Maria) and a half-sister (Barbara). Magdalena Zduńska's godfather, Paweł lives in Warsaw and worked at the Oaza nightclub until May 2012. He fell in love with his mother's cousin, Teresa Makowska, who had a daughter (Agnieszka) from her previous marriage. Teresa lived in Szczecin, and came to Grabina to escape her abusive husband. They lived in Warsaw before they separated and Teresa returned to Szczecin. Paweł had an affair with Magdalena Marszałek (Kinga's and Piotr's roommate), but she went to Africa to work for Polska Akcja Humanitarna. He impregnated Sylwia Okońska; she miscarried, and although they separated they remained good friends. Paweł proposed to Maja Chojnacka; although she accepted, she was jealous of Magdalena. Maja went to Austria and Mexico because of family problems, and he was unable to find her. Although Paweł's friend Aleksandra (Ola) loved him, he only wanted to be friends. In 2011, after Krystyna Filarska's and Wojciech Marszałek's wedding, he had a one-night stand with Magdalena Marszałek (in Poland for the wedding). Paweł married Joanna Liberadzka on November 28, 2011. Their witnesses were Kinga Zduńska and Piotr Zduński and they spent their honeymoon in Karlscrona, Sweden. Paweł was jealous of his wife's continued interest in former boyfriend Jan Kozłowski, and they divorced on 10 September 2012. In autumn 2012, Magdalena Marszałek returned to Poland; they met, and remained close friends. After the divorce Paweł had a romance with his married chef, Izabela Sajdak. On May 20, 2013, he received an email from his ex-wife requesting a meeting. In 2014 he dated Alicja Domańska, who has a daughter named Barbara. At that time he proposed to former girlfriend Magda Marszałek (hospitalised for a heart transplant), who accepted. Paweł's promise to marry her helped her recover, and she apologised to Alicja for his behaviour. In late 2014 Paweł married Alicja Domańska and wants to adopt her daughter. In November 2015 Paweł with his family moved to Grabina.
Joanna Liberadzka, formerly Zduńska (Agnieszka Więdłocha),[6] is Paweł Zduński's ex-wife and the daughter of Laura Liberadzka. They married on November 28, 2011, spending their honeymoon in Karlscrona, Sweden, and their witnesses were Kinga Zduńska and Piotr Zduński. Joanna studied veterinary medicine in Warsaw until 2011. She was engaged to her teacher, Jan Kozłowski, her stepfather-in-law's (Artur Rogowski's) friend. Joanna maintains contact with Jan, spending a Valentine's Day with him in Paweł's absence. In May 2012, she publishes a scientific article with Jan as Joanna Liberadzka (which angers her husband) before accompanying Jan to the US. When she returns in September 2012 and renews her romance with Jan, Paweł divorces her on 10 September. On 20 May 2013, Joanna sent an email to Paweł and asked him to meet with her.

Raised in an orphanage in Józefowo after her parents were killed in a car accident when she was three, she was adopted by Irena Gałązka but returned to the orphanage when Irena became pregnant.

Wanting to avenge the Mostowiaks for causing (she thought) the accident which killed her parents, Hanna told Maria that her father was Zenon Łagoda (triggering the premature birth of Maria's short-lived daughter). Hanna was suicidal when she learned the accident was caused by someone else, but Marek rescued her. She gave birth to a son, Mateusz, and adopted two girls, Natalia and Urszula. Studying to be a primary school teacher in Grabina, in 2010 she moved to Warsaw after her husband's affair with Grażyna Raczyńska but they reconciled the following year. After accompanying Marek to Toronto, they moved to Warsaw to care for their children. In November 2011 Hanna went to Suwałki to help her sister, and was involved in a car accident.
