Surname Berdecki/Berdecka

21 Sep 2007 / #1

My great grandfather's name was Diomid Berdecki (not sure about surname spelling in Polish), I do not know many about him...

Does this surname (Berdecki or Berdecka for female maybe...) exist nowdays in Poland? I assume it is not very popular. So i could possible that some Polish people having this surname nowdays are my relatives :)

that's definately not a commoners first name.
and the surname is worth looking into.
do you have any more details? for let's say his mothers maiden name? or was he in army?

There are many polish archives online nowadays where you can find a lot if you now few names, dates, awards they might have received(like medals during the wars)
