Genealogy / Zwolinski/Zvolinski name [15]

I just found this discussion. So, I don't know if anyone is still monitoring it. My family name is Zwolinski. My understanding is Zwola is an area of Poland near a river. My ancestors, as best as I can determine were from Mroczno & Lubawa. Not far from the famous Battle of Grunwald. They were not Jewish, however. I suppose it is a fairly common name. I have seen the name everywhere from Gdansk to Warsaw.

Genealogy / Looking for information on Szczepanski, Brauder [4]

My family was also Szczcepanski. My great-grandmother was from the area around Lubawa, which is about a 3-hr. drive from Gdansk. While there were a lot of Szczpanski's in the cemeteries I visited there, last Sept. I found no real family. I did, however find my great-grandfather's family, Zwolinski. They live in the same area, today. If you have any info at all on your family, let me know. I'll try to help you out. You can contact me directly at dunkles54@verizon.net. Good luck, tom
