I have been able to trace my family back to Wara, Poland during the mid 1850s. Zubko was my grandfather's name. I would be interested if anyone know of these families, meanings of the names, any info,...if relatives still live in Wara.

Thanks!

ZUBKO: Ruthenian for little tooth; descriptive or topo from Zubki
SKUBISZ: root-word skubać (to pluck, pick at, pinch); maybe topo from Skubianka
TORUŃ: from the North Poland city by that name or a plant (mugwort, motherwort)?
TYKA: bean or hop pole; figuratively -a tall gangly person; or topo from Tykówka or Tykocin

My Mother's family name is Zubko. My Mother, Helena, came from a small village called Orzechowko near Torun.
