USA, Canada / Polish People and Events in Southern California [9]

Polka dancing clubs have events here and there. Poles often show up. I'm not really into it, so I don't know much about it.

Genealogy / Oko surname - Rzeszow area [3]

Hi,

I can't really answer your questions about the surname. Seems like an interesting name; it almost has a kind of mystical connotation. One of your ancestors must have been a person of special vision to be named "Eye." One thing is for sure, there are probably a lot of people who if they did not know it was Polish would assume Oko was a Japanese name. I've noticed some Slavic names are like that, especially ones ending in "ko."

I hardly ever snack. It just makes me feel more hungry.
