Genealogy / Polish gypsies and the word "Mollyglassen (sp?)" [11]
Joaska, thank you for that information; we have very good information that our name was Cynar or Cynarski prior to immigration; it was changed to Synar, once in America. It has been so difficult to trace the name (in Poland) that I have instead started looking at characteristics; its very exciting. When people would ask why my children were so dark and I would say they are Polish; the people would look confused and say Polish? I never understood that until I started LOOKING at the cyganie photos; I said to myself cheerfully "i gave birth to gypsies" and ever since I've been trying to track the facts. My stepson and I plan to go to Poland within the next 5 years and look for our ancestors' families.
