Some jews switched religions not to face persecution, so just because she's roman catholic, the grandparents, or great grandparents could have been jewish. Do your research, try finding baptismal records.

Do a name search at: JewishGen
The name appears in Poland and one or two other places. It also appears with slight spelling differences. You will also see where it occurs in Poland.
You will have to register at JewishGen to do a name search. It's free.
BTW. Some Polish meals have Jewish origins. So don't be fooled by family recipes
Thanks I will check those out...as for cooking and customs I meant the slovak part which I was raised...
