Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

Looking for information on the surname Pietrowski.

The only thing I have been able to find or hear about it is that it is a mis-spell of "Piotrowski". That it means: "house of Peter" and comes from Pietrowice Weilkie region close to the Czech Republic. I have been trying to generate our family tree and all I know was of my great grandfather with the last name of Pietrowski. Apparently he was a pig farmer, which makes me think he had land and food, and he married my great grandmother who's last name was Johanson (later changed by other relatives coming to Ellis Island to "Johnson"), and she was of servitude to the king of Sweden. Is there anyway to pin down more information of Pietrowski about the name and its meaning? As well, I believe I have seen a coat of arms for "Pietrowski" which looks like a russeted great helm with a crown adorned with gems or jewels apon it. Above the helm's crown it looks like a hatchet. Below the helm is a shield is a white horse with a black sash across its back. Is this the correct coat of arms or just something else?

Thanks to those that can help me out with this...

Food / Polish Golabki (Golomki) Recipe [41]

My family recipe is about the same as the others: ground beef, onions, rice. Except we cut bacon into small cubes to be cooked and added to the beef. De-vein the cabbage leaves, boil, then spoon in the mixture, wrap them and put them in a baking pan. However, we use the left over grease from the hamburger and bacon to stew sauerkraut and tomatoes into a gravy to be poured on top of the stuffed cabbage while it bakes. Variations include but not limited to adding to the mixture of meat,onions,and rice have been: breadcrumbs, egg whites, oatmeal, black olives, green peppers, and a small amount of kremska.

*** i have also heard that you can if your planning ahead to de vein your cabbage leaves, soak them in water for ten minutes, then layer them between pieces of wax paper to be frozen. So when you take them out of the freezer to thaw, the will be limp as if you had boiled them.
