Looking for any information on these family names.
In particular, Sebastian / Sobestyan Inglot who was born about 1870, who is my 81 year Dad's grandfather. Dad is still alive and would be pleased to hear of any ancestry information.
Inglot is a real strumper as for meaning. In the list of similarly rooted surnames currently used in Poland is one Inglese which sounds like Spanish for English, but that is a very thin clue indeed.
FYI, there is a Polish science ficntion writer (born 1962) named Jacek Inglot:
pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacek_Inglot
Any facial resemblacne to your family? Here are the names which possibly share a root with Inglat/Inglot Inglant Inglat Inglatowski Ingler Inglese Inglewicz Inglik Ingling Inglink Inglot Inglott Inglowski Incidentally thre are only 2 people named Inglat but more than 1700 surnamed Inglot, largely concentrated in the SE corner of Poland around Krosno, Przemyśl and Rzeszów (former Austrian-ruled Galicja).
The others look to be Polish-spelled Yiddish occupational names: Flejszar (German. Fleischer = butcher) Bytnar (German Büttner = cooper - went into Polish as bednarz) Szajar (German verb scheurn - to scour, scrub, Scheurmagd = scullery-maid - went into Polish as szorować; or Scheuer (granary, grain shed, barn). Hope your Dad enjoys this infomation.
