Nickidewbear 23 | 610 26 Oct 2018 #212My great grand father was supposedly fully Jewish but my mother and I took DNA tests recently and no companies have found any Jewish...atDNA is different from Y- and mt-dna. Also, the Teitelbaums are a Charedi ("Chasidic") dynasty.

Crow 160 | 9,212 11 Nov 2018 #217Literally, Polish name means this > ``We are Sarmats from plains.`` At least in legends, Poles remembered their true identity.
ThatGuy1 27 Nov 2018 #218What does the name Kargol mean? There is some one from Poland with the name in my family tree? Might it actuallybe Baltic, say Lithuanian or something?
Spike31 3 | 1,821 27 Nov 2018 #219KargolKargul is a surname which occupies a very special place in Polish culture. He was one of two main characters in a Polish classic cult comedy "Sami Swoi"imdb.com/title/tt0062228
Thatguy1 27 Nov 2018 #220Are you joking Spike31? Lol. I was asking what the last name means. Should've been more specific. Margaritha was their first name.
Spike31 3 | 1,821 27 Nov 2018 #221I was asking what the last name means.Kargul loosely stands for cunning. It's a deeply Polonized surname of a German origin
Lyzko 42 | 9,116 28 Nov 2018 #225Rather the opposite I'd say. Like 'Smolarz' and others, 'Pacharz' looks pretty much Slavic to me.

WYLstlsk - | 1 26 Dec 2018 #229Merged: Any information on the last names Stolarski or Podorski (Podgorski)My great grandparents immigrated from Poland to America, but we lost nearly all of my family's history on that side so I know next to nothing about them. My great grandfather's last name was Stolarski and my great grandmothers maiden name was either Podorski. We're not sure if she altered the spelling when they immigrated.Someone said that they thought Podorski was a Polska Roma surname, but I don't know how reliable that is at all.Any information is helpful, many thanks.
Spike31 3 | 1,821 5 Jan 2019 #230Well, Stolarski is quite a popular Polish surname so it's difficult to trace it to one region of Poland. You can loosely translate Stolarski as Carpenter.It was also a name of Masovian XIX century nobility. Some male members of this family are still alive and entitled to coat of arms.Coat of arms of Stolarski family:

pawian 218 | 22,786 26 Feb 2019 #240My true name is Pawian Brzęczyszczykiewicz. Foreigners have always had problems trying to utter it, especially Germans. In English Brzęczyszczykiewicz means sth like Buzzerblandville. It is not so rare in Poland, when you try to google it, you will receive a lot of info.
