I am trying to locate where a person by the last name of Kwiatkowski may be from in Poland. This is a continued effort to locate this person's birth certificate. In order to facilitate this process, I would need to have a better idea of a region that this person may be from.

Thank You!

This will be extremely difficult to do something like this. It's the equivalent to Smith as a last name in America. Good Luck

Itran6,

It is always best to start with what you have and work backwards.
Did the person live in the US at all, if so, where and when?
Have you searched for immigration papers?
Did you check SSDI for the name?

What exactly do you know about this person, so that someone could help you?

My mother was a Kwiatkowska before she married my Scottish father. Her family lived in Bobrowniki nad Visła which is in the Kuyavian Pomeranian Voivodeship.

The name means flower.

Hope this helps

Merged: looking for my grandfather Henryk Kwiatkowski.

I'm desperately looking for my grandfather. All I know about him is that he is probably in his late 70's maybe early 80's. He left his family when my dad was about 12 years old or so, which would have been in the 60's. He was a gambler and gambled the family's house and farm away. He had 3 boys, jurek, pawel and Marian kwiatkowski and my grandmother is janina kwiatkowska. They lived in Gdansk I think. His name is henryk kwiatkowski. I met him once when I went to visit Poland about 15 years ago. I remember him being small, had black thick framed glasses, did karate and walked everywhere.
