Genealogy / What is the Polish equivalent name to Walter? [22]

Is it Wojciech? That's what an internet search turned up. Are there any other derivations? I'm looking for a man in my family history named Walter Kosiba. While I've found many Walter Kosib's on various genealogy sites, I haven't found the right one. I'm thinking he changed his name to Walter from his original polish name when he immigrated to the U.S. around 1904. Appreciate the help.

Genealogy / Looking for Jasinski family members. [13]

@Steve
Saw your older post on Jasinski family. My Great Grandfather was John Jasinski. I just started getting into genealogy and its clear there are a number of John Jasinski's out there. I've seen his name spelled Yosinski an Yasinski. My grandfather, John's son, went by Sensky. My grandfather's siblings went by Yosinski. I think the inconsistency of the surname were due to misspellings, phonetically sounding out the name and plain ignorance. I'd be interested to see if we're related. I did a DNA test on Ancestry. Have you done one? That would be a good place to start.
