Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]
I would appreciate any help determining nationality of the name Zukovsky.
Starting to begin genealogical search for mother's lineage. I've seen Zukovsky spelled Zukowsky; Zukousky and always was under the impression it was Polish. I have discovered my grandfather's marriage cert that states birthplace and nationality as Russian with the Zukousky spelling (married in McNaughton, WI). My grandmother's naturalization cert (she was born in Chicago) states Lithuania even though she's Polish (nee Czarmonski and Polish was spoken in the home). I can't locate ANYTHING regarding my grandfather's immigration other than marriage certificate and death certificate. I don't know yet where he hailed from other than maybe immigrating in 1911. I've pored over ellis island records and census to no avail. Any input is most appreciated since I've hit a dead end. Thank you in advance.
