Is Czarnecki Really A Polish Or Actually A Sephardic Jewish Surname?

Not really. I just don't have the Polish "ł" on my keyboard; and anyway, I don't have the money or other resources to get anything from Poland myself. Besides, my cousin Mia hates me and we're not talking (She hates me because I dared to mention that she, I, and Pop-Pop are related--"You are ******* psycho!"). So, besides my cousin Kevin Fosko and other family who can and will help, I haven't much to go on. Every day, I wait for some revelation about that side of the family--that is, the family in Poland, etc..

BTW, the surnames Morgiewicz and Andrulewicz also show up rather strongly near Sejny and Suwałki, while the Czarneckis are equally distributed all over Poland. So do it, get in touch, because they won't - they probably have no idea of your existence.


Nicki - how did you just type the "ł" above then? ;-)

I tried getting in touch a few times, I think--incidentally, though, Mia added me; and I confronted that KKKesque cousin. So, I'm depending on G-d wills at this point:

As I told you, you would need to write to the Register Office in Suwałki (and probably Sejny as well) asking for records.

I did write to at least Suwałki. Still no e-mail back, and Lipsk wasn't much help.

what does that mean?

Good old fashioned snail mail would be much more effective methinks. The trick is that official correspondence coming in has to be filed, recorded and dealt with according to procedure, while email is still a sort of gray area and is quite easy to delete if it lands in the wrong inbox, i.e. in the inbox of someone who for whatever reasons cannot or will not help you.

It means that I'm waiting on G-d to work it out. "Give me a revelation; show me what to do...". You know, G-d's helped me find and revealed things before.


As I said, I don't have that kind of money.

Please - you don't have the money for a postage stamp to Poland? And an envelope and sheet of paper?

I'm really confused if your Cousin Mia told you that you are a psycho why would you continue to phone her if you are ignoring each other?

None of this makes sense Czarnecki is a Polish name not a Spanish name.

Convenient excuse.

A stamp to Poland costs $2.65.

It cost me about 7 bucks last time I mailed a letter to Poland. That was one correspondence, and she would probably have to send several. She claims that she isn't in prosperous enough circumstances to bear that out. That's her answer, so be it.

We're not talking at all. She unfriended me on Facebook, and I let that be. I did tell people to boycott her as a fashion designer, though--and I've also asked people to boycott another rude and perhaps-insidious cousin--when my family has done wrong, I'll remind them of it if need be; and I remind myself when I've done wrong.

Meanwhile,


I actually don't mind explaining why I'm so poor. one can't be too rich when he or she is on SSI Benefits and has Cerebral Palsy, and has a single mom who is trying to put two people (me included) through college. I actually did resist being on SSI for a while, but I figured that my SSI application would at least leave some genealogical information for posterity--e.g., my sister's to-be children and their to-be children (G-d willing), if they ever get access to it.

what are you guys sending?? A letter costs me $0.99.

You're a rich physician, though.

Postage costs are going through the roof!

a physician yes, rich no.
I work in a prison. you know the government pays sh*t.

Oh. Meanwhile, I did ask my mom (That's what I get for her putting me through college and me being on SSI.), and she said that I could send something. G-d willing, I'll write something to send to the Suwałki registry offices tomorrow.

yes do it and good luck! will you be sending it in Polish? If not, I'm sure you could get one of our fine translators (Boletus, Ziemovit) to help you :)

That's what I was thinking. I was thinking about Google Translate, then about you all--should've thought about the latter first.
