searching in vain it seems for my Polish roots. My Great Grandmother was Paulina Dobruszkiewicz ( sister Michalina ) born in Holynka, Poland.. My Great Grandfather was Jan Brzezicki- not sure where he was born or what ever happened to him. They immigrated to America ( Lived in Chicago ) in 1908. Their daughters were; Paulina ( my Grandmother ), Marian, and Izabel. --- Paulina & Michalina's mom was named Mariana Adeszko.

If by some crazy miracle you or anyone you know was related to this bunch.. please contact me here.. ~ Pauline Teel

DOBRUSZKIEWICZ: One of numerous surnames derived from the adjective dobry (good, goodly, kind). When a given locality's most kind-hearted soul nicknamed Dobruszek fathered a son, fellow-villagers could have dubbed the offspring Dobruszkiewicz (patronymic nick for "Dobruszek's son"). Toponymic origin is also possible.

BRZEZICKI: toponymic tag identifying a native of Brzezica or Brzezice (Birchville).

ADESZKO: Most likely a patronymic nickname meaning "son of Adam"; compare English Adamson.

For more information please contact me.
