Genealogy / Bachor surname (from around Zapalow) / Nieckarz [9]

Hello, I'm trying to research my last name. I know it used to be Bachor before my family emigrated to Canada and he was born around Zapalow. Any help is greatly appreciated :-)

Interesting, lol. I have another that I've not found any leads on (In all my research, I can't find anyone other than this one person and their parents so it may have been mutilated/misspelled at some point?)...name is "Nieckarcz" if you could please shed any light on it?

Genealogy / Bachor surname (from around Zapalow) / Nieckarz [9]

Thank you so much! I was able to find several more records by correcting the surname spelling! Also, I have a question, probably my last for right now...I've heard that "Bachor" also means "child" in Yiddish, is this true? I'm also pulling up records from a Jewish collection on all the family members with both those last names. I know that Poland used to have lots of people of Jewish descent, so is it far-fetched for me to believe I may be part Jewish since they are in Jewish record collections? This is the branch of my family I've never really had any luck in, so all of this is truly fascinating to me and I appreciate everyone's help (and especially yours, Polonius!)
