Thanks

Merged: What country is my last name from? (I suppose Germany)

Hello may you identify my last name please?

[i][/i]Bernatowicz

It ends like a typical Polish surname but I have noticed that the Beggining starts with Bernat (German:Bernhard) Bern-Bear Hard-Strong so it maybe a German surname.

After alot of research every single result comes up with it's origin from Germany.

Please reply I am very fasctinated in my ancestors thanks,
And if this helps I am from Gorzow Wielkopolski (German: Landsberg an der Warthe)

Cheers!
