Genealogy / My grandmothers: Zbysheski and Simpsi. [7]
Hello everyone,
My name is Maria and I was wondering if anyone could assist me in any information regarding the aforementioned surnames.
I realize you probably get a lot of these requests, so I thank you in advance for your time. :)
I've tried some of the helpful links I've seen regular board members post here, like:
polishroots.org
familysearch.org
rtrffoundation.org
nancy.polishsite.us
etc.
But I've yet to find any information about either surname.
When I do a search for my maternal grandmother, Marie Zbysheski, the only hits I get are of my own family in Pennsylvania, US.
When I do a search for my paternal grandmother, Anna Simpsi, I basically get no hits at all.. save one woman on facebook whom I 've contacted with no response as of yet.
Am I missing an alternate spelling, or a root word?
The closest I have come to Zbysheski is a suggestion it may derive from "Zbygniew", as in "the one who will have excess ("zbyt-") of anger ("gniew")".
Thank you again for taking the time to read my long, rambling post. :)
