Genealogy / Cropcho - Any thoughts on a Polish surname that might have led to this anglicized spelling? [3]
Hello!
I am a Cropcho (using that exact spelling). However, my surname came from my father's father, who came from Ukraine, not Poland. I figure there is some overlap on surnames across that border, though. And yes, it was phoneticized or otherwise changed, spelling-wise, to become Cropcho.
With ours' spelling, it's an exceedingly rare surname. It is very likely that you and I are closely related, hgp214. I live in Manhattan, New York City, and was born in Western Pennsylvania.
Assuming we're closely related, did you know you have a cousin who was a famous photographer? Small world.
Let me know if I can help further.
