Genealogy / Looking for info on surnames; Szwed and Szygowski/Sygowska [8]
Krakowska, thank you for the information on the germanized version of the surname Szwed, when my grandmother and grandfather arrived at Ellis Island in the US, they were listed as citizens of Austria and nationality of Polish, I have found that the surname has been changed a few times which is making the task of building a family tree a bit more interesting, the name has gone from Szwed to Sweyd to Sweek to sweet and back to Sweyd. Again thanks for the response and have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
