I have always been told that my family name is Polish, can anyone help me find out. I have searched numerous articles and spoke to my relatives, all to no avail. Any help would be great. Thank you for your help.

Since your name ends in 'ko' it is very likely that it is of Ukrainian origin.

'ko' it is very likely that it is of Ukrainian origin

Is that always true?

I had a step uncle whose name also ended in 'ko'. I guess somewhere in the past there must have been a Ukranian connection.

been told that my family name is Polish

As far as I know my uncle condsidered himself to be Polish.
