Genealogy / Looking for info on surnames; Szwed and Szygowski/Sygowska [8]
First post to this forum so be kind, looking for any info in regards to my fathers surname of Szwed which was americanized to Sweyd, Ellis Island info says grandmother came from Domaczyny, Galicia and grandfather came from Rycz....???? and my mothers surname was Szygowski/Sygowska which was americanized to Sygoski, Ellis Island info says grandmother came from Chudzin (which I think is located in the current country of Belarus) but used to be part of Poland and grandfather (who came over 3+ years before) was from Plock (Russia, but I believe it should have been Poland). they came to the US before WW 1. Looking for anyone with similar surnames and trying to find and or confirm the locations of the places listed above.
