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

Hi,

Hope someone can help me with this one, a buddy of mine who's family have lived in Canada for 3-4 generations now has only his family name to connect him to his roots, that's a shame when that happens, so...

I'd like to find out a bit of info for him to put him back in touch with his heritage.

Can anyone shed any light on the surname of Perhinski ?

I've done a few Google searches, but come up with nothing so far.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Canada Bob.

Hi Polonius...

I guess that over the years the name could well have been reworked as they often were, I'll ask to see if there are any family papers, but seeing as how it was over 100 years ago since they arrived chances are there aren't any.

THANKS for the feedback, valued and appreiated, maybe they were originally from Ukraine !
