Paholak surname

Can anybody provide any information on this surname? Seems that many of my ancestors were born is west/central and South/central areas of Poland. Many emigrated to usa in the states of Pennsylvania and Michigan. I know nothing else. Thank you in advance.

I would say the original name is probably Pacholak. In Polish the 'ch' is pronounced as 'h' so your ancestors probably changed the spelling when they emigrated so that non-Polish people would pronounce it correctly. You may find some relatives or people to connect with here:
