herby, its in Polish only
There are 8991 Lach's in Poland and, looks like, only 1 Kapusciarz (in krośnieńskie region). Also there are 37 Kapuściarz's, 4 in bielskie, 7 in krakowskie and 26 in nowosądeckie regions.

Both of these names appeared in ancestral records from the village Odrowaz in southern Poland near Czarny Dunajec. You can view some messages at PolishOrigins -

KAPUŚCIARZ: the cabbage guy (grower, seller, perhaps fancier)

And Russians... literally "an agricole" from old Slavic.
