Lyzko 29 | 7,235 17 Oct 2018 #5I suppose that my family name 'Pajdo' must therefore be possibly Goral, perhaps Slovak, in origin.
DominicB - | 2,709 18 Oct 2018 #6Try Hungarian. From "paitas". Influenced by Polish "pajda", which is a word of Turkish origin. My guess is that the protoplast was a Vlach, an ethnic group that once dominated the highlands of the Carpathians. The Górals are descended from Vlach herdsmen, as are present-day Rumanians.

cdicola13 22 Jan 2019 #10My Grandmother Julia Witeczek name is shown on ellis island passenger record from the ship MAIN, Bremen, Germany with an Ethnicity of Austrian, Ruthenian with a place of residence in Niwza, Galicia. She arrived with her two sons (same last name) in NYC on December 28,1909. She was 27 years old. I have always been told I Grandmother was Polish. All the manifests show the same last name with czek not czuk.Can this be an incorrect entry. Or am I Ukrainian?
ZINDER 27 Apr 2019 #11My surname is Kapas, and my grandparents came from Poland. Now I have been told that Kapas is a Hungarian surname. Can anyone clarify if there was a significant migration of Hungarians to Poland and when? Thank you.
kaprys 3 | 2,503 28 Apr 2019 #12Kapaś is also used in Ukraine. Google Andriej Kapaś, a Polish tennis player born in Ukraine.I believe there were some Hungarian immigrants to Poland, but there were definitely more Ukrainians/Ruthenians.You'd have to study your family history to find out more.
