Genealogy / SURNAME:CZARNECKI [27]
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.
