In regards to the surnames Sinkula and Kieta and Tomkow

Witaj,

I am an American citizen. I am trying to find out more about my Sinkula and Kieta family. are there any Kieta's or Sinkula's out there in Central Europe; perhaps in relation to me? or anyone who may know of any around?

I was born to a Sinkula who was married to a Kieta. We are from Wisconsin. My father was originally from Kewaunee County Wisconsin. My mother came from poland as a young girl. I have traced the family through Ellis Island. Also, I have a cousin who has traced some of the Kieta family tree.

well isn't this ironic. i have an uncle David Sinkula. he was one of six boys and one girl of Helen [Kieta] and Arthur Sinkula. They too are from Wisconsin. My mother told me just now that my Grandfather Arthur Sinkula had brothers from other parts of Wisconsin. Ultimately they trace from Czech Republic and Poland.

Hi there

Does anyone know the origins of the surname Tomkow..... I am trying to do some research on it but it isn't coming up as a Polish surname in many of the sites......

I don't know. It's Ukrainian maybe.

yah i always wondered if Polish surnames ending in -ow are just the Polish versions of the -ov endings from a russian lineage.... i know a few like that, but dont know anything about the name in particular, good luck in your search....

Thanks that's what I thought must get my self in the mode of cyrillic then....

Alot of Tomkows from Balice Poland before the war now in Ukraine
