Grzegorz_ 51 | 6,149 1 Feb 2007 / #6he never returned to Poland.OK. I thought that you ment his brother. Commies would probably have finished him off If he had came back after serving on the western side.
johnshedleski - | 1 26 May 2008 / #8[Moved from]: Shedleski (Siedlecki) - any suggestion on the origin of my last name?My family left Poland around 1890. Any suggestion on the orgin of my last name?I have spoken to a few Poles in the last few years and one mentioned that not only was the name fairly common but he actually knew someone with the Polish spelling of "John Shedleski". It has been suggested that the name may be a referance to the town of "Siedlce"Regards John
z_darius 14 | 3,965 26 May 2008 / #9John ShedleskiThere would be no such spelling in Polish.The possibilities I'm aware of are:Jan SiedlewskiJan Siedleski
