Genealogy / Genealogy of Lecrenski (or Leczenski) - grandmother Gazda [9]

Thank you for the info on my name search. Now I am really confused, where do I start? On the 1930 census his name was spelled Lecrenski, I know he was born around 1876 and some records say Austria some Poland. He and his wife only spoke Polish, far as I know never was naturalized, never was able to find how he or his wife even came over here. I know they changed surnames and were probably Americanized when they got here just to make it easier for the kids at school. I thought I remember a Leczenski on the mailbox and it is spelled that way on the 1910 census also, but I remember a Leczenski or Lecyenski or somesuch on the mailbox. Give me your best shot as to where to start. Thanks

Genealogy / Genealogy of Lecrenski (or Leczenski) - grandmother Gazda [9]

Trying to find something about my ancestors, they came to Mass. around 1905 or so. No idea how or just that they came into Mass. Grandfather was John Leczenski, or Lecrenski Grandmother was Barbara Gazda. Does anyone know anything about the surnames, where they may have come from, how it may have been spelled in Polish. I know they lived in Southwick and Westfield, Mass. Help help
