zoze 17 Oct 2018 #4unable to find any record of surname Sapianik - supposedly Polish and connected to Wilna during 1912please help with surname Sapianik used by family relatives who arrived at ellis island during 1906 & 1912 but no records can be found - thank you.
Lyzko 42 | 9,110 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 | 2,266 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.
Dlaba 5 Mar 2021 #14My Grandfather's last name is Laba and Grandmother is Bojko. I believe they were both Greek Catholic Ruthenians from modern day southern Poland. Their language on the shipping manifest was Ukrainian. They immigrated to Ellis Island in 1909. My Grandfather's village was from Bukowice, Galacia/Austria. Is there a way I can identify where're this village is located. It seems there are a few options in Poland with that name.
