krysia 23 | 3,058 9 Sep 2006 #9It's the other way around. "Sacharewicz" is from "Zacharewicz", because "sacharewicz" comes from "sacharyna" and the "Sachara Desert". Where does "zacharewicz" come from? Nothing.
krysia 23 | 3,058 9 Sep 2006 #15It's " Bananiewska". But you were close. At least it's yellow. Your favorite color.And shape.....
bolo 2 | 304 9 Sep 2006 #16I think it's your favourite shape - but my favourite color indeed (maybe except for pink).
krysia 23 | 3,058 9 Sep 2006 #17Did you hi-jack the topic again?This nice person is asking an innocent question about the Sahara desert and she's waiting for an answer.
bolo 2 | 304 9 Sep 2006 #18I guess I did -- tomorrow I'll try to change my picture in the hopes I won't be recognized and laughed at...
krysia 23 | 3,058 9 Sep 2006 #19I won't laugh at you Bolo. I would never do that( :)).What do you mean by: " I won't be recognized"? You're not talking about... your....ahem.....
bolo 2 | 304 9 Sep 2006 #20What do you mean by: " I won't be recognized"?I've watched too many movies lately and have identity problems just like you, I think. I should get over it tomorrow though. Till then!

redsac - | 1 30 Jun 2009 #28Hi, my name is Roman Sacharewicz, I am the eldest son of Edward Sacharewicz. I too have been tracking relatives in Poland, you have surprised me to say the least. I would like to know a little bit more about you. My father was born 8th August 1916 in Lublin. He joined the Polish army before the war and was transported to Russia but escaped and fled to what was then Pursia today Iraq and joined the British army. He has been gone since 1984. There is one brother and one sister living in UK.

Polonius3 1,000 | 12,446 17 May 2010 #30SACHAREWICZ: comes from Jewish biblical name Issachar, often rendered in easern Slavdom as Сахар (Polish transliteration: Sachar). The -wicz is a patronymic ending so Sacharewicz = Zachary's son.
