SURNAME:CZARNECKI

i would like any information on my surname.is it a popular name in poland? where did it originate from? a town or a province? my grandparent's came to canada in the early 1900's i think,that is about all i know.i do have my father's birth certificate but i do not know how to read polish! he was born on december 17 1923 in the parish of krzymize (i don't know if that is the right spelling).i am from winnipeg and if anybody knows where i can get this put into english send me a message,any help would be great !!! thank you in advance.

Very popular last name, 32525 Czarnecki's in Poland.
It would usually refer to the name of a place where the family lived at some point centuries ago, a place with a name beginning Czarn-, from the root czarny, "black." The name is especially likely to refer to the village of Czarnca in Kielce province, Wloszczowa district, but you can't really count on that -- there are too many other cases where it referred to any of a number of villages named Czarne, Czarne, etc.

Can't find anything about Krzymize, could you please check the spelling.
BTW I am in Wpg

yes
your name is from the village of czarnaca east of czestochowa..
my family are buried in the cemetry there
i have been there many times, my father is going there sometime in may , will have look in cemetry for you

Krzywcza it is big village near the city PRZEMYŚL
The surname of Antonina is probably Tyczyńska(i)-very good surname or
Styczyńska(i)

Krzywcza today it is big village near Przemyśl-but the town called Krzywcza before the II World War -today is called KRZESZÓW-situated between two towns Zamość and Biłgoraj.Sud/est of Poland.

Before the war was 3 villages and towns called so, but today these places are in Ukraina not in Poland.
You must know which big city was not far from the your family home.

Merged: Czarnecki surname research

Hello All,
My grandmother's family is from Poland. My grandma grew up in Hamtramck MI. Her maiden name was Czarnecki, later changed to Black by my great grandfather. My great grandma's maiden name was Weiss. How common are these last names? Where abouts in Poland would you find these last names? Thanks for any help!

Haha, that's pretty funny !! Your grandma changed her name to Black (Czarnecki, Czarny meaning "black" in Polish)...and your great grandma's maiden name was Weiss, which means "white" in German... Your old photos must be black & white ^^

Czarnecki is not a rare name in Poland... There are more than 30,000 people in Poland carrying that name all over Poland, no particular place...

As to Weiss, it may be of German or Jewish origin.

Welcome.


You might be better off on the Hamtramck thread. Yes, there is one on the forum.

[Moved from]: Czarnecki from Zagora, Poland...(does anyone know where this place is?)

According to my ancestors US WWI draft cards, they are from Zagora, Poland. Does anyone know what big city this is near? The surname is Czarnecki. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

My Grandfather was a Czarnecki from Gdynia

I am friends here with a Polish imigrant who says that Czarnecki is a royal Poish name.
Very good name (as she would say).

It is spelled various ways, however ours is spelled the say as yours, CZARNECKI.

Good Luck

Does anyone know of a Zdzislaw Czarnecki who lived in Cambridge? Not sure when he died but would have been over 100 if he were still alive.

Merged: Czarnecki from Grudna Gorna

I have traced my fathers family name Czarnecki back to my great great great grandfather from Grudna gorna Poland. I know my great grandfather only had two sisters but know nothing about his fathers siblings or grandfathers siblings. Looking for more information about the town and if other Czarneckis are from there. My grandfather came to Pittsburgh and then to Canonsburg Pennsylvania when he left Poland (Galicia) in 1906.

My grandfather Wladyslaw Gorka came from Galician area of Poland in the 1890's(?). He eventually settled in Newark, N.J. His baptism certificate is difficult to read since it is in Latin with Polish names. According to the record his parents were:Adam Gorka(father) son of Jacob Gorka and Agnes Rapala and Marianna Czarnecki(mother) daughter of Slanislaw Czarnecki and Sophia Janicka.

When Wladyslaw came to the US he spelled his name Gurka. My uncle(?) Henry had his surname as Gorki(another town in the same area) on other documents. Later the family spelled the surname as Gorka.

Wladyslaw's baptism certificate lists the town of Glinik Dolny. This small town is the same general area of Grunda Gorna. Grunda Gorna is over the mountains to the northwest of Glinik Dolny. I do know that Wladyslaw and Henry listed different towns in the same area on immigation records.

There is a town in the same general area(to the southwest closer to Sanok) with the name Czarnorzeki. Perhaps this is relevant.

So he came from Austria-Hungary or the Russian Empire (I'm too lazy to look it up right now). There was no Poland at that time.

Nothing personal, but why for heaven's sake can people on PF who are into genealogy not get their historical facts straight?

Hello! I'm new here, but I also have a Czarnecka in my family from somewhere in Poland. I hear it's a common name, but they all eventually start somewhere, eh? The only thing I have been told is that there is an -i or -a at the end of the name to denote gender so it changes frequently.

I don't have a lot of details, I were pretty excited to get my grandfather's grandparents names: Mateusz Kowalski married Agnieszka Czarnecka. They had 6 children, Heronim, Ireneusz, Piotr, Zacheusz, Helene, and Maryanna. Helene Kowalska was my grandfather's grandmother, born in 1886 in Poland, then married Waclaw Zarembski in Pennsylvania, USA before relocating to Chicago, Illinois at some point in the early 1900's.

I am pretty sure Mateusz may have been from Brzozowka near Torun. No idea about Agnieszka. From a marriage certificate, we found that their fifth child, Helene, said she was from Brzozówka, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship.

Have you found more information about your relatives?

CZARNECKI: most likely originated as a toponymic nick for someone hailing from one of many villages in Poland called Czarna or Czarne. Another possibility is the patronymic avenue: someone nicknamed Czarny (Blackie) for his dark completion and raven-black hair fathered a son, and fellow-villagers could have dubbed the offspring Czarniak, Czarnowicz or Czarnecki (Blackie's boy).

There are 10 different coats of arms for the Czarneckis.
For more info please contact me.

Not really. The latter is a Lithuanian-Polish variant of the other. One person in a Czarnecki group on Facebook told me that the "i" in his name (as well as "

i" in our name) denoted Lithuanian origination (In our case, it was "Czernecki" and "Czerniecki" of Litvish and Vaysruslander origin. We changed it during the pogroms and made up the story that we are somehow related to Stefan Czarniecki.).

The period from about 1890-1905 saw the largest single emigration of almost 4-5 million polish to USA as a result of deteriorating political and economic conditions. A common story for many of us as I found out. Both my grandparents were in their early teens in 1915-1920 residing in Milwaukee. Grandfather out of Krakow, was Theodore Czarneck died 1957; GM was a Bosnian, madien name Stella Bosniak (Bozniak 1895 on birth certificate) and married to a Stanley Misiak (Miziak). I have no information on GP Czarnecki's siblings, if any. My father, Raymond John (deceased in Buena Park CA 2003 /1922), was the youngest out of 14, three female.Most still reside in Milwaukee. I love the surname, and always need to spell it to strangers. Gary Gerald Czarnecki, 73, Huntington Beach, CA.

@RJ_cdn
They are variants of the same family name.
